    Review Summary for 20 Waterside Plaza
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 20 Waterside Plaza in Manhattan emphasize its strong community feel, friendly doormen, and excellent cleanliness in apartments with great views of the East River and access to open space. Tenants value the quiet, safe environment and effective pest control. However, the building’s location is somewhat isolated, with limited access to subways, restaurants, and grocery stores, which may inconvenience residents. Management responsiveness and maintenance services receive mixed feedback, with some complaints about slow repairs and difficult communication. Despite these issues, many renters recommend the building, appreciating the balance of comfort, affordability, and community atmosphere.
