Great place to live
Pros
Responsive management, clean
Cons
Takes a while to schedule maintenance
Large apartments in a quite neighborhood but terrible management
Pros
Stuyvesant Town offers large apartments in a suburban oasis in Manhattan.
Cons
Stuyvesant Town is a great place to live, but I want to move whenever I deal with property management. From essential to complicated apartment repairs, they will make you want to pull out your hair. I regularly lose hot water in my apartment, and it will take me weeks to reach out to management every day to restore it. My refrigerator was leaking water, flooding my kitchen for two and a half weeks before they sent someone out to fix the problem. My microwave, which is part of the unit's oven system, broke, and management is ignoring my emails. I could go on, but you get the point. I have had a lot of questionable landlords in my 24 years of living in NYC, but Stuyvesant Town (owned by Beam Living) is the absolute worst if you have any problems with your apartment. I know my neighbors share the same frustration.
