    Review Summary for 385 Flatbush Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    385 Flatbush Avenue offers a prime Brooklyn location near Prospect Park with generally responsive landlords and soundproof apartments. Tenants appreciate the prompt maintenance and monthly pest control visits. However, the building is older with dated appliances, occasional package theft, and some noise from the street or ongoing construction. Cleanliness and garbage management ratings vary, with some reports of mice and odors. Issues with management responsiveness and security have been noted. Lack of bike storage and roof access detract from convenience. While many residents find it a solid choice given the location and community, prospective renters should weigh concerns about upkeep and owner transparency.

    Was very happy here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location is excellent, maintenance requests were handled promptly. Landlord opted to not renew our lease because they needed it for “family”. They promptly listed it on street easy for $500 more.
    Cons:
    No bike storage, no roof access, disingenuous owners
    Advice to owner:
