Great starter apartment, but not long-term material
Pros
-Very nice property managers -Quiet street -close to the A/C train and walking distance to Prospect Park -steps away from best part of Crown Heights nightlife -Beautiful stoop
Cons
-constantly had to fight off drain flies and roaches (even with very clean apartment) -heating system is outdated and costly (spent anywhere from $130-$250 per month in the winter) -Rent is too high for what you’re getting honestly - while street itself is typically quiet, there can be a lot of noise in the middle of the day
Advice to the owners
I suggest investing in a more modern heating/cooling system and to proactively battle pests
