    Review Summary for 239 Flatbush Avenue Extension
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 239 Flatbush Avenue Extension praise its prime location with excellent subway access and nearby stores like Trader Joe's and Target. The building is well-managed, notably clean, with strong water pressure, central heating, and responsive staff ensuring smooth package handling and upkeep. Amenities include a pool and patio access, though the fitness room and outdoor spaces could be improved.

    Great building in convenient location
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Convenient to lots of subways; great reception team (good package management system that alerts you when your package arrives; wash and fold, etc.); Trader Joe’s just across the street; trash on every floor; patio access; great water pressure; central heating.
    Cons:
    Fitness room could be better equipped/have more equipment… but on the plus side, it was always empty when I went! Unfortunately can be loud as it’s located near the fire department, and emergency vehicles more generally can get backed up trying to cross the bridge and you have to listen to the alarm for like five minutes while people refuse to move.

    Very convenient location
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good subway access, right next to Target + Trader Joe's and a grocery store right at base of building. Nice new building with decent amenities including a pool
    Cons:
    Being right on Flatbush can make it a bit loud, being high up enough negates that quite a bit. Outdoor space was not very nice.
    Advice to owner:
    Improve outdoor space
