Review Summary for 489 Washington Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 489 Washington Avenue highlight its great location near the C train and notably spacious units with charming features like skylights and a rooftop. However, renters consistently report severe management issues including unresponsiveness, poor maintenance, and security deposit disputes. Common problems include persistent leaks, subpar renovations, malfunctioning laundry facilities, pest infestations, and overall cleanliness deficits especially in common areas. Noise levels vary, but thin walls and occasional disruptive neighbors are noted. Many advise better building upkeep and management overhaul. While some appreciate the apartment size and neighbors, the consensus warns of high rent not matching the building’s maintenance and management quality.

Looks nice but it's not
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good location, a lot of washers and dryers, closets are big
Cons:
I have seen multiple cockroaches, the walls are paper thin, the drains get clogged all the time, the area is nice if you go north but there's a meth clinic so a lot of drugged out people in the front and at the train, they also never respond. For the price, it's pretty bad
