Responsive management, clean, nice, community, but getting .
Pros
I loved the view from my bedroom over the water, and all of our bedrooms had very nice windows. It was extremely easy to schedule maintenance and elevators always worked. Everything but AC was included in utilities, which is so nice, and even then AC was a flat rate. I had no issues with packages being stolen, and security was very nice and helpful. Stuytown has a sweet street market twice a year and offers many community events where you collect in the little park to watch movies and stuff which is really nice. It is always so clean and I never saw a roach or rat in my three years.
Cons
A bit of a walk from the L train, but not bad and such a safe area to walk through once you get off the train. We did get ants when we left food out this past summer, but I think all of New York did. The Stuytown gym is super expensive. Also, the prices did go up in the apartments around mine, although rent is stabilized which is super nice.
Advice to the owners
Stop raising the rent and have a lottery again. It is sad and frustrating to watch the community change and become inaccessible.
Great community but thin walls
Pros
- Nice community set up not available in other areas of Manhattan - has parks, play grounds and a cafe within community
Cons
- thin walls - few grumpy old people who get offended by slightest of noise - very corporate in dealing with rental issues and pricing
