If you like traffic noise and roaches…
Pros
Close to shore parkway, target, a nice park, trains and express buses. Rent is still pretty reasonable considering the current market. Decently sized apartment and good heat.
Cons
Roaches. Lots of them. We try so hard to clean, spray, bait, and still we see them. Crazy loud area from local traffic so you can’t even keep your windows open since all you hear is honking outside. Landlord is somewhat responsive once you finally get ahold of someone there. Super speaks no English and has a bad attitude.
Advice to the owners
Be more diligent about pest control, spray the incinerator and garbage shute. Talk to the super about his attitude.
Roach issue in apt and building
Pros
Super is responsive, area is nice. Walking distance to beach.
Cons
Despite staff cleaning the building frequently and keeping my apartment spotless there was still a roach issue. It might have to do with residents always throwing garbage in the refuse closet and not down the chutes. Also likely infestation from other units spreading.
