Former tenant·1 month ago

Reno’d but still gritty

Pros

Units have updated finishes and management is pretty responsive to tickets. The building’s long term residents bring this place to life with new york character. The location is great for access to trains and things to do and eat.

Cons

The building is still quite old and mail delivery is unreliable (packages are stolen often). The area does feel older than main Williamsburg.
