    Review Summary for 101 Woodruff Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenant reviews for 101 Woodruff Avenue, Brooklyn highlight the spacious apartments and proximity to Prospect Park as key advantages. Positive aspects include responsive management, dog-friendly environment, and friendly neighbors. However, concerns were raised about the lack of amenities in non-renovated units, the neighborhood's limited dining options, and occasional pest issues. Suggestions include updating the building's entryway. While some experienced maintenance delays and building age issues, the general sentiment leans towards recommending the building for its affordable rent, sizeable units, and overall livability in a convenient location near the park and subway.

    Good no-frills apartment
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Note: some units have been fully gutted & renovated and now come with washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave, and all new floors and windows. My unit has not been renovated and does not come with any of those amenities.

    - Decent rent for apartment size: I rented a one bedroom apartment in 2022 for $1700 a month (includes water/heat utilities only). My unit is massive for NYC standards.
    - Location: Next to Prospect Park, the Parade Grounds, and the subway.
    - Building is extremely dog friendly.
    - Management is responsive enough
    - Friendly live-in super that tries to ensure your packages are never stolen.
    - Great neighbors that watch my dog for me when I’m gone.
    - Lots of light
    - Manageable noise levels
    Cons:
    - I wish I had a washer/dryer and dishwasher, but you get what you pay for. I assume the renovated units are much more expensive.
    - Neighborhood (top of Flatbush) lacks quality restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. You’ve got to walk a good twenty minutes before you find a decent cup of coffee or place to eat. I don’t really mind bc 7th Ave is just 15 minutes away via the Q.
    - The Flatbush area will feel a little “rougher” to some, particularly at night.
    - When I first moved in I had a roach problem. The issue was the unit below me, and I think they were evicted. At any rate, I don’t have a pest problem anymore, as management was responsive to send pest control. Still, I wouldn’t leave your dishes in the sink overnight.
