Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews for THE HELENA ASSOCIATES LLC buildings emphasize well-maintained, clean properties with friendly, helpful staff and quick maintenance responses. Residents appreciate the organized garbage management, good pest control, and generally quiet living environments. However, consistent concerns include aggressive rent increases, sometimes high prices, and occasional issues with amenities such as elevators, heating, and air conditioning units. While management is often praised for responsiveness, a few renters have reported slow or unhelpful leasing office interactions. Overall, tenants value the buildings for their quality and service but caution prospective renters about potential rent hikes and some facility improvements.

Nice building, but huge rent increases make it hard to live here long term

Pros

Clean, beautiful, spacious apartments. Staff is mostly friendly. Management generally responsive. I enjoyed my time living there.

Cons

The main issue I had is that they raised my rent significantly year after year to the point where I had no choice but to move out. I found out from others in the building that they had tons of occupancy, so I assume this was just a move to maximize profits. A bummer, because I would have liked to stay there for a long time. If you move here ensure you are either wealthy enough to weather the big rent increases or otherwise get ready to move out after a year or two.
