    Review Summary for Longacre House
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 305 West 50 Street highlight its prime Hell's Kitchen location, proximity to multiple subway lines, and well-maintained, clean apartments with modern amenities. The building features friendly doormen and responsive maintenance staff, contributing to a positive living environment. However, noise levels can be high due to the busy Times Square vicinity and street traffic. Renters frequently cite steep and sometimes unpredictable rent hikes, lack of rent stabilization, and mandatory fees (e.g., gym, utilities) as drawbacks. Heating issues and occasional pest control concerns were reported but generally addressed promptly. While many recommend the building for location and service, some express frustration with management's lease negotiation practices and cost.

    Amazing building, very noisy area
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Love the management and the staff. Never had any issues that weren't resolved within a day or two. The unit above mine had a leak their bathroom that dripped into mine, but staff came in and took a look at it on the same day I reported it. It's a great value for the price.
    Cons:
    The building is near Times Square and a major theater on Broadway. As I'm on a lower floor, I hear all the road noise: driving, honking, yelling, bike rickshaw music, horse galloping, etc. It is a bit disruptive and loud especially if you work from home.
    Advice to owner:
    Replace the window seals.
