Reviews of 389 South End Avenue

Former tenant·3 minutes ago

Very nice building

Pros

Have had no issues

Cons

Very quiet, but could be a good thing

Former tenant·7 months ago

Apartment units with issues/poor maintenance, overall building is solid

Pros

The building is well-staffed and in a scenic location next to the water, within walking distance of WTC/Path which is great if you are commuting. Lived in a spacious studio with reasonable rent, decent amenities.

Cons

Not sure if it was neighbors or construction, but there was a LOT of noise coming from inside the building at night that I could hear through the walls. The apartment itself was poorly maintained, with the ceiling cracking and paint peeling off of the bathroom walls/doors. I also had an issue with the bathtub drain and water/sewage backing up in the shower throughout the day--maintenance tried several times to fix but were unable to. Also ran into some minor issues with cockroaches (luckily building staff/exterminator services will really helpful).
