Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 385 South End Avenue consistently highlight the building’s prime waterfront location, scenic views, spacious units, and attentive doormen as major benefits. Many tenants value the cleanliness, safety, and overall quietness, praising responsive maintenance, though some note delays fixing apartment-specific issues. However, there are recurring complaints about outdated apartment finishes, occasional pest problems, and prevalent dog urine and waste around the property. Noise from neighbors or construction and slow owner responsiveness are also concerns for some. Rent increases and amenity fees are viewed as high, making affordability a challenge. Despite some drawbacks, the building appeals to those seeking comfort and convenience near Manhattan’s waterfront.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Apartment units with issues/poor maintenance, overall building is solid

Pros

The building is well-staffed and in a scenic location next to the water, within walking distance of WTC/Path which is great if you are commuting. Lived in a spacious studio with reasonable rent, decent amenities.

Cons

Not sure if it was neighbors or construction, but there was a LOT of noise coming from inside the building at night that I could hear through the walls. The apartment itself was poorly maintained, with the ceiling cracking and paint peeling off of the bathroom walls/doors. I also had an issue with the bathtub drain and water/sewage backing up in the shower throughout the day--maintenance tried several times to fix but were unable to. Also ran into some minor issues with cockroaches (luckily building staff/exterminator services will really helpful).
