Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

While many residents appreciate the cleanliness, management responsiveness, and amenities offered, there are recurrent issues such as noise disturbances, garbage management, and maintenance delays. Some buildings have faced serious management and pest control problems, leading to dissatisfaction among renters.

Newer constructions show promise, yet existing complaints highlight the inconsistency in property upkeep across buildings.

Reviews

Former tenant·just now

Decent building in up and coming neighborhood

Pros

Pros are the management team is pretty responsive. Hot water and water pressure are great. Other tenants are very friendly.

Cons

Neighborhood itself can be hit or miss with lots of homeless. Noise from the street and Dunkin Donuts below can be quite a lot.
