Think whether you need this headache
Pros
We had some issues with the building, but the management had been responsive up until it was time to return the deposit.
Cons
We've been told that the deposit will be returned within 30 days of end of the lease even though by law it's 14. 14 days has passed and so has 30, and we still haven't gotten our deposit back. No one responds to our calls or emails. Now our recourse is court. Think beforehand whether you need this headache.
First Apartment in NYC
Pros
The Apartment was furnished, the Q train is 2 blocks away, quiet area with a beautiful park two blocks away. The communication with the building was amazing, super responsible and always happy to support. The building was always clean and never had any issues with my mail or packages. It really gave me the best experience as my first apartment in New York for an amazing price compare ti the value of the unit and amenities!
Cons
Not a lot of people of my same age in the area (early 20s)
