    Review Summary for 446 Ocean Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 446 Ocean Avenue highlight its convenient location near subway stations and Prospect Park as a major plus. Residents commend the reliable heating and strong water pressure. However, persistent pest issues, including rodents and insects, are a significant concern, with calls for building-wide extermination and better maintenance. Noise levels are reported as high due to thin walls, loud neighbors, and street traffic, compounded by unwanted alarms and common area disturbances. Management responsiveness is often described as slow or absent, leading to tenant dissatisfaction. While some appreciate affordability, many advise prospective renters to consider these drawbacks carefully before committing.
