Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 309 Columbus Avenue highlight its excellent location, friendly neighbors, and convenient amenities like an elevator and in-building laundry. Many tenants appreciate the clean apartments and overall quiet environment, though street noise can be an issue on the Columbus side due to nearby shops and garbage trucks at night. Pest control is generally satisfactory but some note occasional problems in basement areas. Owner and management responsiveness varies, with some praising promptness and others citing delays. Elevator reliability and communication with the superintendent have room for improvement. Overall, it offers good value despite minor maintenance and noise drawbacks.
