    Review Summary for The Octagon
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews highlight the building's tranquil island vibe, beautiful greenery, and efficient maintenance team. Residents appreciate the spacious units, cleanliness, and prompt response to repair requests. However, concerns include occasional noisy neighbors, ventilation issues, and high rent hikes post-pandemic. Some suggest addressing smoking violations and improving negotiation flexibility. Despite minor drawbacks like transportation inconvenience and drafty windows, the Octagon is generally praised for its amenities, friendly staff, and pest control. For those seeking a peaceful retreat with a strong sense of community, this building is a top choice.

    Overall a quiet and scenery place to live with great amentities!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    This is a really nice building to live in, talking about the greenery scenes and running East River just outside the window if you're facing north. The neighbors and the front desks are generally nice, the maintenance team can take care of the request within the same day in most of the cases. The gym is quite large too, with multiple free group classes ranging from cardio to yoga throughout the week. Overall, if you would love a peaceful island vibe living, this is a great choice.
    Cons:
    Some people are just constantly smoking weed, and the smell would inevitably get to your room through the ventilation system. Sometimes there are people who play loud music/argue with others and you can also hear it in the bathroom and the kitchen where there are vents.
    Advice to owner:
    Please punish the ones who use weed inside of their homes as what's listed in the leasing contract.

    mostly loved it here!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    i lived here for a year and the building was consistently well maintained and beautiful. never had any issue with pests and the hallways and common areas were always so clean. it is clearly well taken care of.
    Cons:
    management is weird about some things. lots of families and children so if that's not your thing then this isn't your place. noise definitely travels in the hallways (so lots of screaming children)
