    Review Summary for 245 Ocean Parkway
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent tenants praise the building's cleanliness and efficient garbage management. They appreciate the renovated units with modern amenities like dishwashers and in-unit laundry. However, noise from the nearby freeway poses a significant issue for some residents. The management's responsiveness varies, with some experiencing delays in addressing maintenance concerns. Despite minor drawbacks like stolen packages, the building's family-friendly environment and convenient location near transportation and shops receive positive feedback. Overall, it's a recommended option for families seeking a well-managed building with updated features, though noise levels might be a concern for some.

    RIght Next to the Highway
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The building was mostly clean, with minimal pests and bike storage.
    Cons:
    The neighbors are mostly friendly but one kept garbage right outside their door which led to ants all over the building even up to the 3rd floor.

    nice amenities and lots of space, run of the mill mgmt issues
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Left as new management was taking over, but the unit was recently renovated (dishwasher, new appliances, truly nice space!) A lot of families in the building and it was nice getting to know everyone. Very convenient location for trains and groceries.
    Cons:
    Packages were often stolen and management did little to stop this. There was also a huge leak in the ceiling that took a while for old mgmt to respond to. I believe they had just gotten a new roof so not sure how it is now.The new management company was based in NJ and a little hard to get in touch with.
