Review Summary for 578 Union Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 578 Union Street reflect a generally well-managed and clean building with good heating, pest control, and water pressure. Tenants appreciate the building’s great location, renovated interiors, and rooftop views. Management responsiveness is frequently praised, contributing to a positive living experience. However, some renters note concerns about occasional pest issues near trash bins, the need for improved cleanliness in common areas, and security around packages. Laundry facilities in the basement requiring outdoor access and proximity to an auto shop also pose minor inconveniences. While noise levels vary and the building is not rent stabilized, many renters still recommend it for its overall upkeep and location benefits.
