Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 123 Melrose St in Brooklyn reveal a mix of highs and lows. Tenants commend the building’s modern design, extensive amenities such as the pool, gym, rooftop, and helpful maintenance and front desk staff. Apartments have strong water pressure and good heat, with many appreciating the friendly community and quiet atmosphere inside. However, persistent pest issues near garbage areas, inconsistent management responsiveness, and restricted or non-functional amenities like pools and hot tubs frustrate residents. Noise from neighbors and outside, unclear amenity policies, and high fees also detract from the experience. Overall, it appeals to those valuing amenities and location but renters should weigh management and maintenance concerns.

Bushwick Luxury but ...

Pros

The building and amenities are beautiful The pool is fantastic, front desk helpful and maintenance helpful

Cons

I dealt with german cockroaches for 6 months and had to leave (coming from garbage room) Management changed halfway into my lease, and then maintenance was much easier

Former tenant·5 days ago

Good, big building with small apartments

Pros

Neighbors are friendly; maintenance responds to requests within 24hrs. When you set the water to be warm in the shower, it heats up almost immediately. Nearly everyone working at the building is incredibly helpful and polite.

Cons

The elevators can be slow around rush hour and on days when people are moving into/out of the building. Because the building is so big, you end up having to walk a block just to get to/get out of your house. Common spaces like the chef's kitchen and lobby could be better maintained (e.g. stains on the couches). The individual apartments are a bit small.
