Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback about George Newshan's buildings highlights responsiveness as a strong point, with many noting he is helpful and reasonably quick to address issues. Properties tend to be older, often pre-war, with some wear typical for their age, including drainage and heating quirks.

Tenants appreciate the fair pricing relative to neighborhood location but caution that some maintenance and facade updates could improve experience. Overall, renters find management approachable but advise being mindful of contract details and deposits.

Reviews

Former tenant·13 hours ago

Solid can’t complain

Pros

Landlord is actually very responsive and reasonable, great price for the neighborhood, overall things work

Cons

Old building with some quirks, some issues with drainage and heating. We had occasional issues with mice and roaches but nothing crazy and landlord was helpful. I know this sounds kinda bad but really it was worth it for the neighborhood and price.

Former tenant·4 months ago

great location, good management

Pros

Very centrally located, 4 family home. Fairly well maintained for a pre-war and very responsive and helpful landlord

Cons

No amenities and some aspects of the apartment are a little rundown (normal for a prewar)
