Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 120 Beach 26 Street praise its unbeatable beachfront location, spacious apartments with ocean views, and affordable rent, especially compared to other Rockaways buildings. Tenants appreciate the attentive maintenance staff and amenities like modern layouts and balconies ideal for outdoor relaxation. However, issues such as cleanliness of common areas, persistent trash around the property, and overcrowded bike storage persist. The removal of the 24-hour doorman and occasional pest problems have disappointed some residents. Neighbor relations vary, with some noting friendliness and others experiencing uncooperative neighbors. Overall, the building appeals to those seeking beach access and value but would benefit from enhanced upkeep and management responsiveness.

Potential to be a great place to live

Pros

The building is very close to the boardwalk and the beach. For the most part, the building is quiet and the neighbors are respectful to one another.

Cons

The grounds are not kept as clean as one would want to live. Trash is left around the perimeter and pet parents in the building and on the neighboring streets are irresponsible with picking up and cleaning up after their pets poops. The carpets inside the building need to be removed or cleaned and the elevator on the right side is commonly out of order.

Advice to the owners

Clean the grounds, Restrict tenants who do not adhere to pet sanitation and use the cameras to fine those that dont. Place signs to remind them all over the building. Powerwash the windows, make upgrades in the gym. Stop advertising that you are luxury living when you are not.

Nice apartment, lousy neighbors

Pros

Affordable, Pet friendly, ocean views. Giant windows (3’x5’) Maintenance guys are amazing, keep building spotless, arrive at your apt within minutes if you have a leak, etc.

Cons

Adjacent streets are filled with garbage, no doorman, pictures are deceiving. No cabanas in yard. Residents/neighbors are NOT friendly or helpful.

Advice to the owners

Clean up the yard, gate the front entrance of building just like the parking lot
