Review Summary for 220 Water Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 220 Water Street in Brooklyn emphasize its spacious, uniquely laid-out rent-stabilized units with desirable amenities like in-unit washer/dryers, dishwashers, and central A/C. The building features a beautiful atrium-style lobby and helpful, friendly staff including attentive doormen and superintendents. Residents appreciate the strong community feel and overall cleanliness. However, some highlight noise concerns due to thin walls and occasional management unresponsiveness. Common drawbacks include aging appliances, creaky floors, limited gym facilities, and a poorly maintained roof deck. Despite these issues, most renters recommend the building for its character, affordability, and prime Dumbo location.
