    Review Summary for 395 Ocean Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 395 Ocean Avenue reveal a building with spacious, well-located apartments near public transit and Prospect Park, appealing to renters valuing convenience. Positive notes include friendly neighbors, good water pressure, functioning elevators, and attentive superintendents. However, pest control issues, inconsistent management responsiveness, and cleanliness concerns, especially regarding garbage and long repair times, are commonly cited drawbacks. Some tenants mention noise from street-facing units and occasional discomfort from other tenants. Despite mixed experiences with management, many still recommend the building for its size, location, and community feel, though improvements in upkeep and pest handling are advised.
