Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 500 Metropolitan Ave highlight its excellent location and generally clean, well-maintained building with attentive on-site maintenance. Many tenants appreciate the natural light and proximity to the subway. However, a dominant concern is poor management, marked by unresponsiveness, dishonesty, and unresolved maintenance issues such as intermittent hot water, faulty entry fobs, and broken common area fixtures. Noise levels vary, partly due to the busy surrounding streets and some disruptive neighbors. Garbage management and pest control receive mixed feedback. Clarity about amenities and lease terms is also an area for improvement. Overall, renters value the location but caution about management challenges.

Former tenant·23 hours ago

Avoid at all costs

Pros

great view and close to the subway

Cons

management is horrible. If something goes wrong, don’t expect anyone to help. The key fob situation is a joke too, I’ve been locked out multiple times without notice, waiting hours to get someone to reactivate the key so I can enter my unit
