“Pros: - great amenities (rooftop pool anyone?!) - grocery store across the street - great light and windows in each room - nice neighbors and building staff Cons: - smells like dog pee outside because of all the dogs! - pool only open from MDW to LDW - even if weather is still hot - gym is small / not cleaned well”
— 211 MCGUINNESS BOULEVARD · Brooklyn“Unit 703 Pros: Amenity building in lovely Greenpoint about 5 mins from the G. Rooftop pool and wonderful super/building staff. Cons: Management did not tell us that our unit was underneath the building gym. We have extremely loud banging noises at all hours and they have been a nightmare about it and would not let us move to any other unit in the building. There have been many other problems and they are so unresponsive and have basically ghosted me. Advice to landlord: Follow NYC laws and help your renters find solutions to problems you’ve created.”
— 211 MCGUINNESS BOULEVARD · Brooklyn“Pros: People working there are great. Nice location and good neighborhood. Cons: Management is really bad. They just trying to rip you off. Whole winter we had issues with heating. It was off and on. Rent increase is wild. Advice to landlord: Hire nicer and more polite people in management. They should know better,”
— 211 MCGUINNESS BOULEVARD · Brooklyn“Pros: Nice pool and fun scene Cons: Management awful - they refuse to help with noisy neighbors and constant cigarette smoke. They don’t care about us and just milk us for money without fulfilling their responsibilities. High rent for what it is. Advice to landlord: You can’t charge luxury prices and ignore your tenants. Those who can afford these rents have better options where management doesn’t ignore us and laugh at our problems.”
— 211 MCGUINNESS BOULEVARD · Brooklyn“Pros: Loved living in this new build apartment - the amenities were great, and the location was perfect for being in Greenpoint. All of the building employees were friendly and very responsive. Cons: There was only one real functioning closet for the full apartment (in the bedroom only) - not much the management could have done, but keep note if you need extra storage space. Also, the pool moved to a reservation system during COVID, so it became difficult to enjoy because they were all booked during the summer (this may have changed since, however).”
— 211 MCGUINNESS BOULEVARD · Brooklyn“Pros: Love the roof top and modern fixtures Cons: bad management company building was built cheap so things are falling apart and the building is new can hear neighbors cause walls are so thin Advice to landlord: do your job and fix the work orders quicker. and actually respond to your tenants. Stellar is a joke”
— 211 MCGUINNESS BOULEVARD · Brooklyn“Pros: It’s clean and there are very few bugs. The pool is nice. This was a good deal but with rents where they are, it doesn’t make sense given other options. Cons: Rent is up 50%. Then, They really take advantage of you and they charge extra fees for the amenities. McGuinness Blvd is really loud with trucks and fire station - can’t sleep well without ear plugs. The elevators are awfully slow and scary. Why haven’t they been fixed?? Management is really slow to respond - lots of turnover at the front desk, no one answers questions with authority. Advice to landlord: Hire a full-time person to be responsible for urgent resident inquiries, lease questions, etc. there are hundreds of residents and no one to answer questions. Given the rents, you can do better. There are other new buildings in Greenpoint now that are better service and more competitively priced.”
— 211 MCGUINNESS BOULEVARD · Brooklyn“Pros: clean, attentive staff, nice amenities Cons: steep amenity fee, constant party like atmosphere, weird rules that change constantly Advice to landlord: Keep pool rules consistent”
— 211 MCGUINNESS BOULEVARD · Brooklyn“Pros: Gorgeous rooftop views and pool in the summertime. In unit laundry. Cons: Rent has gone way up, the walls are thin and you can hear your neighbors’ dogs, kids, etc. I wear noise canceling headphones all the time.”
— 211 MCGUINNESS BOULEVARD · Brooklyn“Unit 603 Pros: Concierges are very nice people! Cons: Too many dogs, they are peeing in the hallways and it’s disgusting! Very busy Mcguinness Blvd, can’t sleep without earplugs. Outrageous prices for the pool, $400! Seriously! Advice to landlord: Create more restrictive rules for pets owners!”
— 211 MCGUINNESS BOULEVARD · Brooklyn“Pros: Great staff, nice new apartments. Cons: Expensive, a few odd neighbors so doesn't necessarily feel like management do their due diligence before someone moves in. Advice to landlord: Do your due diligence for renters, don't be greedy with pool-fees and fix the slow elevators.”
— 211 MCGUINNESS BOULEVARD · Brooklyn“Pros: Amazing staff, Gorgeous roof and wonderful apartments Cons: Location is on noisy McGuinness Blvd Advice to landlord: Keep up the great work!”
