Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews of buildings managed by KEREN STAR MANAGEMENT reveal a mixed experience. Positives include modern apartments with good layouts, responsive management in some locations, clean units, and decent neighborhoods. However, several renters report persistent issues with unresponsive or slow management, poor garbage and pest control, and problematic neighbors. Noise concerns and safety worries in certain areas also emerge. Notably, multiple reports mention harassment by live-in supers and poor handling of tenant disputes. Some tenants cite unfair deposit practices and steep rent/utilities. Overall, expect variable management quality, with some buildings well-maintained but others plagued by neglect and inadequate tenant support.

Ok place, neighbors are luck based

Pros

- sizeable lot and decent apartment layout - generally decent interior conditions from a structural pov - new appliances

Cons

- bathroom has a bunch of water damage on the door - neighbors/roommates by the rental companies are bad - high school kids from across the street are constantly fighting at 7am, being extremely loud and obnoxious and leave trash all over the building.

Advice to the owners

Get the high school to better control kids
