Wonderful for families, long term living by the city
Pros
Great live in super in a co-op building. Responsive. Generally quiet with lots of families. Lots of space and great neighborhood. Plenty of laundry and building maintenance is on top of everything.
Cons
While walls are thick, floors are really thin. You can hear a lot. Depending on your neighbor, you’ll have to be very mindful of noise/group hangs. It’s an old building with old plumbing. You will get some bugs crawling around but there’s an exterminator you can sign up for biweekly. This is a co-op so you’re renting from a unit owner. My unit owner isn’t that responsive but will get you an answer to any questions.
Decent place but could be improved
Pros
Good location next to the park Affordable No noise coming from tenants within the building Friendly tenants with a community vibe
Cons
Co-op approval process Shady characters who didn't live in the apartment would hang out by the laundry room Garbage cans would often be overflowing Super is difficult to reach
Advice to the owners
Prevent outside people from accessing laundry room
