Wonderful building and management
Pros
Our apartment is incredibly spacious and bright, with the subway, groceries, and shopping at our fingertips. Any problems get handled day-of by management. Our lease renewal came with a <1% rent increase when rents in the city are insane. Honestly blown away by how positive an experience Ventura has been!
Cons
Turning the A/C on over the summer makes for some relatively expensive electric bills and insulation is as you'd expect for floor to ceiling windows.
Good place to live
Pros
Great location, wonderful staff-I miss living here!
Cons
Rent prices way too high even for luxury building in a nice area. During pandemic management was unwilling to negotiate even a freeze in rent...so we left and now they have a ton of vacancies! I miss living there but couldn’t abide by over 4K for a one bedroom.
Advice to the owners
Be a bit more flexible with rent freezes! You lose good residents for drawing an unnecessary hard line.
