Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

John McDermott’s buildings are praised for clean, well-maintained spaces staffed by friendly, attentive doormen and responsive maintenance teams who often address issues promptly. Tenants value the safety, well-kept amenities, and professional staff who contribute to a generally positive living environment. However, renters frequently mention high and sometimes inconsistent rent increases as a major drawback, causing frustration and turnover. The tenant demographic skews younger, which can lead to noise concerns and occasional party-like atmospheres. Access to amenities often comes with extra fees and some dissatisfaction. Overall, expect efficient property management with excellent staff but prepare for pricey rents and a lively tenant mix.
