    Review Summary for 311 West 50 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 311 West 50 Street in Manhattan highlight its great location near Broadway and Central Park, modern finishes, and attentive doormen as major positives. The building offers well-sized closets, basic amenities like laundry and a gym, and strong pest control. However, many tenants express frustration with management and owner responsiveness, citing slow maintenance, strict policies, and unannounced apartment entries. Noise levels vary due to a diverse tenant mix, with some noting disturbances from younger residents. Rent prices are considered high, and some issues with heating, garbage management, and occasional cleanliness detract from the experience. Overall, it appeals to those valuing location and staff but may challenge expectations on management responsiveness and flexibility.
