Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 530 Midwood Street reveal a mixed living experience. Tenants appreciate spacious units, high ceilings, quiet neighbors, and building amenities like a gym, laundry room, and rooftop views. The neighborhood safety and on-site parking receive some positive notes. However, persistent issues include pest infestations (rats and roaches), package and bike theft, cleanliness problems, and inconsistent garbage management. Several renters report poor owner responsiveness, maintenance delays, and unclean common areas, with some describing the management as unprofessional or unhelpful. While some tenants recommend the building, many advise improvements in pest control, security, and building upkeep to enhance resident satisfaction.
