Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 500 East 85 Street commend the building for its attentive and responsive management, quiet and safe environment, and well-maintained apartments with strong heating and water pressure. Tenants appreciate the friendly doormen, large living spaces, and valuable amenities like on-site gym and laundry facilities. The building's prime location near parks is also a plus. However, common areas such as hallways and carpets need renovation, and some residents note occasional noise from neighbors. While most praise management, a few mention communication issues. Limited outdoor and indoor communal spaces and absence of in-unit washers/dryers are also noted drawbacks. Overall, it’s recommended for its comfort and convenience.
