Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant reviews for 20 Goodwin Place in Brooklyn highlight the convenient amenities like in-unit washer/dryer, dishwasher, and central air. The building offers a relatively quiet environment with pleasant neighbors. However, concerns include steep rent increases, dated interiors, and narrow hallways causing inconvenience during move-ins. Pest control and cleanliness are inconsistent issues, with some mentioning overcharging by management. While some recommend the building for its positives, illegal practices and lack of responsiveness from management deter others from suggesting it. Improving maintenance, updating interiors, and ensuring fair pricing are suggested areas for management enhancement.

Good place to live but way overpriced
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good amenities - dishwasher, washer dryer, balcony, central air and heat, shared courtyard accessible to all 3 buildings under this management (18, 20, and 22). Small building, only 2 apartments per floor. Quiet building for the most part, balconies and windows are adequately soundproofed (not perfectly quiet, but very good). Never personally had any pest issues in my unit. Generally responsive management/supers, but they will try to keep your deposit and you will have to threaten them with legal action to get it back.
Cons:
Apartments are extremely overpriced for what they are and rent increases are steep (they will charge you the max legally allowed). When I moved out of my $2500 2br in 2024, they raised the rent to $3200 for the next tenant. Dated interiors, janky paint jobs inside. Narrow staircases and hallways make moving in and out a pain, and they do not sweep the staircases—always dust and cobwebs in the corners. Enormous bathtub, but it’s plastic and super creaky. Can’t sit on the stoop because the trash is gathered by the stairs and there’s a lot of flies.
Advice to owner:
Stop overcharging and being greedy, or at least modernize the interiors if you’re going to be charging so much. Stop doing illegal shit when your tenants move out.

this was the best out of a mediocre lot of apartments I’ve lived i
Former Tenant
Pros:
Central air, massive bath tub, little balcony, pretty quiet, in unit washer dryer, dishwasher
Cons:
Cannot have packages delivered here. They will get stolen. 2 bedroom is not a true 2 bedroom. The second small room is tiny AF and the closet is a joke.
Advice to owner:
Add a space to have packagers delivered safely
