Beautiful building, so-so management
Pros
Excellent apartments, well maintained with great appliances and amenities. Apartments are super quiet and well insulated. While the air conditioners are getting on in age and not as strong as they used to be, the building's energy rating is excellent and the windows block a ton of noise from Ocean Pkwy/Prospect Expwy. On-site building staff is top-notch and responsive--they care about the building and doing a great job. The building has been well maintained since opening and is kept super clean. Neighbors are friendly and have built a great community to live in. Never had a problem with package theft or getting guests access. I personally thought the neighborhood was a huge plus--a quiet little nook close to Prospect Park. But it's probably not for you if you're hoping to have hot clubs/bars/restaurants in spitting distance.
Cons
The management company has changed their strategy over the years--used to be communicative and friendly, now absent in emergencies and clearly just trying to turn over apartments to raise rent. They are trying to reduce or remove on-site building staff, who make the building as great as it is. A building of this caliber cannot be maintained without the staff.
Advice to the owners
Communicate with residents. Properly staff and care for the building.
