    Review Summary for 470 2 Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 470 2 Avenue highlight a well-maintained building with clean common areas, friendly doormen, and responsive maintenance staff. Renovations, including a new gym and courtyard, have improved amenities, though the gym requires an additional fee. Residents appreciate quiet neighbors, good security, and strong water pressure. However, some find the building overpriced for the quality, with dated hallways, occasional pest issues, and problematic elevator access during renovations. Noise from nearby construction and proximity to less desirable areas like Bellevue are noted. Management communication varies, with some tenants frustrated by poor responsiveness and unexpected rent hikes. Overall, it suits those valuing location and amenities but expect some trade-offs.

    Solid building, good amenities, nice maintenance/super staff
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    -the supers/doorpeople are generally very nice
    -maintenance requests are processed quickly
    -amazing outdoor courtyard space that just got renovated in May 2025
    -gym is also newly renovated and cheap ($80 ish a month) to join
    -generally, neighbors are very quiet and there's a good mix between families and young people
    -the security will take noise complaints seriously
    -lobbies are always clean
    -close to M15 and many other bus stops
    Cons:
    -these are cheaply built/renovated apartments, so things break easily and frequently
    -you're a block or so from Bellevue and the men's shelter nearby
    -gym not included with rent, have to join separately which is annoying
    -hallway smells bad sometimes
    -you're not very close to a subway
    Advice to owner:
    Make the gym included in rent!
