Review Summary for 25 Monroe Place
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 25 Monroe Place in Brooklyn highlight the building's charming apartments, excellent location, and friendly doormen as strong points. Residents appreciate the quiet, lovely street and easy subway access. However, complaints include frequent rent increases, inconsistent heating controls, occasional pests, and thin walls leading to hallway noise. Management receives mixed feedback, noted for both responsiveness and unreliability, with calls for improved maintenance and more transparent policies. While the building offers desirable features and a pleasant environment, concerns about value for cost and management efficiency suggest prospective renters should weigh priorities carefully.
