SECOND STREET HOUSTON ASSOCIATES · avg 4.9 ★★★★★ · New York City
“Pros: Proximity to East Village and LES. Clean and well-maintained by attentive staff. Cons: The no frills building is older than some of the new luxury ones going up in the area though it is still trying to price itself in line with its more luxury neighbors. Old gate and intercom system, in house laundry machines often need repairs, frequent package theft/lost”

— 280 EAST 2 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Easily the best building in the block- safe with the gates, clean , super and porter (who brings your packages to your door) very nice and responsive. Great backyard and pet friendly.

“Pros: The location is great. Close to so much in the east village. They're really great at keeping packages safe and keeping track of them when they're delivered + when you pick them up. It's a really clean building. & the neighbors (at least on the 11th floor) are cool. Cons: The price. The rent was high when we moved in but do-able. We renewed 3x. The last time we were up for renewal the price was just out of control for a teeny, tiny studio apt that was like 300-400 square feet. Advice to landlord: Stop being so greedy.”
— 280 EAST 2 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: The management, specially the super Jimmy and his assistant Francisco have been very nice and responsive about fixing any issues. Cons: Neighbors in the building next door can get rowdy. Advice to landlord: It would be nice to update the intercom system with modern technology”
— 280 EAST 2 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: The apartment is managed by third party management company. The super lives in the building and responses to any inquiries in a very timely manner Cons: The building next door (east) is a magnet for rampant house parties. It gets really noisy in warm weather Advice to landlord: It would be nice if the huge back yard was more usable with some outdoor furniture. Even better if the building had a rooftop.”
