Cockroaches will be your only neighbors here
Pros
Rent was fairly low for a studio, but for a reason. Right next to Sterling St Station with access to 2/5 trains.
Cons
When I moved in in the winter time, there were SO many cockroaches in my unit like my title mentions. The building turns up the heat too high in all the units which attracts them in like crazy. The washing machines are always broken and don't get fixed for weeks on end. There's a guy who screams hallelujah in the streets with a microphone every sunday, and a poor elder lady who lives in the unit who screams nonsense daily as well. I've also been chased into the building by another crazy woman. All in all, just an okay neighborhood in terms of safety but really weird incidents happen all the time. There are also no good grocery stores in the area. I would not recommend anyone to live here.
