Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for AvalonBay Communities, Inc. buildings reveal consistently strong management responsiveness and friendly, accommodating staff, particularly at Doorman buildings like 100 Willoughby Street and 343 Gold Street in Brooklyn. Tenants appreciate cleanliness, security, and timely maintenance support, often highlighting well-kept common areas and pet-friendly policies. However, elevator reliability is a common issue across multiple buildings, causing inconvenience and wait times. Noise levels vary due to thin walls and busy locations, while some units face pest control and aging infrastructure challenges. Rent prices tend to be high, with some concerns over rent increases and administrative communication. Overall, management is generally praised but could improve in elevator upkeep and tenant communication.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Decent for what it is but can find better for similar price in area.

Pros

Staff super friendly Secure building and always a door person 24/7 lockers for packages. walkable to trains A/C/F R/Q/B walkable to other neighborhoods

Cons

There is always an elevator under maintenance so you are always waiting on elevators. I have waited over 10 min before. And because of that the elevators are also always congested. Getting ahold of management can take awhile. Walls are thin- can hear neighbors. Noise from outside Not many amenities compared to other buildings
