Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 455 Ocean Parkway highlight spacious apartments, helpful 24-hour doormen, and a convenient location near public transit and amenities. While residents appreciate the large units and community atmosphere with quiet neighbors, significant concerns include frequent elevator malfunctions, slow or ineffective management response, persistent leaks, and cleanliness issues. Pest control and water pressure receive mixed feedback, with some tenants rating poorly. Management's failure to address maintenance promptly, along with perceived unfair rent policies, has led to dissatisfaction among renters. Overall, the building offers great living space but requires major improvements in upkeep and management to enhance tenant experience.
