Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 480 2 Avenue in Manhattan praise its cleanliness, responsive management, and spacious apartments with great views. Residents value amenities like doormen, package rooms, and laundry facilities, though gym access often requires extra fees. Common concerns include slow or frequently broken elevators causing delays, ongoing construction, and issues with pests, especially roaches in some units. The neighborhood is generally safe but can be noisy at times, particularly late at night. While the building offers a comfortable living environment with attentive staff, renters note high rents and suggest improvements in elevator maintenance, pest control, and enhanced amenities to better justify the costs.
