Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Tenant reviews for 409 Eastern Parkway highlight a prime location near transit and grocery, with friendly staff and good natural light as positives. The building offers desirable amenities like rooftop access, bike storage, and a gym. However, renters frequently report management unresponsiveness, maintenance delays, poor pest control especially roaches, and insufficient upkeep of common areas. Noise issues and thin walls detract from comfort, while security concerns and some disruptive neighbors were noted. While some appreciate the building for short-term stays, many feel the rent is too high for the quality and maintenance issues, urging better management communication and investment in facilities.

Not Worth It
Former Tenant
Pros:
- The overall staff are doing there best to keep the place running and clean. - Proximity to trains and being above Union Market - Roof, Bike Storage, Outdoor Common Areas
Cons:
- At first glance units look nice but it's very cheap materials from the kitchen, doors, floor tiles, faux wood vinyl floors, windows, AC/Heat Units, and the bathrooms. - Wash the outside windows - The gym does not have good ventilation and the ceiling was leaking with visible MOLD growth - Short-staffed for repairs. I've had a repair ticket in the system for 8months now and it's a security concern. - I smell cigarette smoke from my neighbor in the hallways, its even coming through the vents and closets. We've notified management and they have done nothing but just send emails warning not to smoke. Do more! - Management is completely delusional regarding the way it manages this building. Only time you hear from them is not to address complains but to upsell. For example; a parking spot is way to expensive and the garage is damn near empty maybe offer a price reduction. - Common area maintenance is terrible I mean there really are some ghetto people in the building that just trash the place. The upkeep is non-existent - Front of the building is littered with trash and garbage after all the rent the market rate tenants pay we come home to trash and a mess - Common areas are being abused. No joke there is a lady running a hair salon from the office/ area. I tried to use this area for its intended purposes only to be run out.
Advice to owner:
Stop nickel and diming the property. You have market-rate tenants paying good money make the property reflect that.
