Reviews of 80 Woodruff Avenue

Former tenant·53 seconds ago

Great location but beware of A&E

Pros

Love our apartment, beautiful and great location

Cons

Building is not properly maintained

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Worst apartment I’ve ever had in my life, nightmarish

Pros

The room is large and nice and SHOULD be a pleasant stay but the cons are too much

Cons

Roach infestation, rat infestation, broken unfixed dishwasher, and the landlord/management are unresponsive and horrible. They intentionally ghost residents to force them to move out. I complained about a cockroach infestation that’s affecting the whole building and they told us to sign up for a pest control sheet for a company they quit paying for months ago. Joke of a landlord and human being
