Review Summary for 400 Argyle Road
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 400 Argyle Road reveal a stark contrast in tenant experiences. Positive aspects include large apartments with dishwashers, spacious closets, a seasonal pool, and a friendly, diverse community. Some praise responsive management and well-maintained amenities. However, multiple tenants report serious pest infestations, notably bedbugs and roaches, often inadequately addressed by an ineffective extermination service, impacting quality of life. Additional concerns include poor heat, broken windows, low water pressure, noise due to thin walls, and management’s slow responsiveness. Attempts to reduce services like doormen have also upset residents. Overall, while the building offers generous space and community, pest control and maintenance issues pose significant drawbacks.

Roaches, bedbugs(multiple units!!!), lazy doormen, no water pressure
Former Tenant
Pros:
Large apartments, some with dishwashers. Lots of closet space. Pool.
Cons:
Update to original review: I HAVE HAD BEDBUGS SIX TIMES SINCE MOVING INTO THIS BUILDING. They pop up in unusual places such as the KITCHEN and BATHROOM. They once fell onto my stove while cooking (this is how I discovered I had them). More recently I found one under my kitchen sink! It never seems to end with this building. Tenants in nearby apartments refuse to let the exterminator in to inspect for bedbugs.
I've had bedbugs twice since moving in. Another apartment keeps getting bedbugs. An entire line of apartments has bedbugs. The laundry room has bedbugs and management has not treated the laundry room once.
The pest company they use is absolutely incompetent and lazy. People don't even bother letting the exterminator into their apartments because he is rude, doesn't know what he is spraying, and the roaches seem to LIKE what he is spraying.

"Hidden" gem of a community
Former Tenant
Pros:
Incredible amenities, friendly, hardworking staff. Neighbors are friendly and diverse—a mix of ages and races, families and singles.
Cons:
No compost. If you forget to sign up for the monthly exterminator, the roaches are back pretty much immediately. Sometimes the elevator gets stuck between floors. Tap water tastes off sometimes.
