Stuytown is a cute little community
Former Tenant
Pros:
The virtual doorman is great. I find the noise levels to be very manageable, and as young girls we must make a lot of noise but no one has ever said anything so i imagine no one is hearing us. I feel very safe in this community. Proximity to traders joes and the L is amazing.
Cons:
You can't control the heat and it works so well that i would be extremely hot in the winter months, which i guess is not a terrible problem to have. It is a lease violation to remove the shower head and put a filter on and this was really frustrating because i have extremely sensitive skin.

Pretty great price at original prices for nice building in Manhattan
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building was good condition, my unit was fantastic. At the original price of 4600 was a great deal in Manhattan, though now, at 6k, it's a much harder sell imo.
Cons:
Nothing, building was perfect to be honest.

Lipstick on a Pig
Former Tenant
Pros:
Pretty grounds that has a campus/community feel.
Cons:
Stuytown could care less about the quality of their tenants apartments. Maintenance requests are done with little care and they routinely damage things in the process. Upper management needs to be stayed on top of in order for anything to get done properly. Minimal care and sense of urgency unless you make legal threats.

The walls are literally paper thin. Any given day you can regularly hear apartment doors slamming, people walking up and down the stairwell, neighbors talking or even sneezing/coughing, walking around above or below, or blasting music. Invest in a great pair of noise cancelling headphones and come to terms with that everyone can hear everything and anything you are doing in your apartment 24/7.

The laundry room is an absolute disaster. Machines are constantly broken and eat your money. Stuytown continues to raise prices YoY. It’s honestly more cost effective to just send your laundry out vs paying their crazy prices. Dryers barely work to dry your clothes and the temp settings do not work either.
Advice to owner:
Take care of your tenants by doing quality apartment maintenance vs trying to upsell future ones on all the new renovations that are only in a small % of the apartments. The photos at leasing office are fooling nobody! The apartments do not look like that. Lastly, all the work being done to the grounds is great, but the entire neighborhood comes and uses them and the residents have to pay for YoY upkeep charges. Nobody ever checks the oval space, basketball courts, outdoor gym, if people actually live there.
