    Review Summary for Ava Fort Greene
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    343 Gold Street offers convenient access to multiple subway lines, a safe neighborhood, and responsive, friendly management that actively engages residents through events. Apartments are spacious with great views, clean facilities, and attentive maintenance, although some finishes are dated. Common drawbacks include frequent elevator breakdowns and thin windows causing street noise, especially near Flatbush Avenue. Pest issues occurred but were generally managed well. Rent is considered high with regular increases, and gym access incurs extra fees. While neighbor friendliness varies, community safety and building cleanliness are strong points, making it a solid, albeit slightly expensive, option in downtown Brooklyn.
