1 Year in and all is well!
Pros
It’s newer and there’s an elevator! Haven’t really had any pest issues besides the regular flies that come in during the summer (we live on the floor with a door to the patio). Landlord is pretty flexible with negotiating the rent increase, but that might be because my roommates have lived here for 5 years so we have that bargaining power. It’s in a great area, right off the L and not far from the G. 2 great grocery stores, one a block away and another about a 5 minute walk.
Cons
The apartment is small. No getting around it. The rent feels high for the small rooms, but it could just be NYC market. The neighbors can be loud sometimes, especially when there’s parties on the rooftop at our building or the one next door. Sometimes the trash gets piled up pretty high. Not really much else as a Con.
Advice to the owners
Nothing really, I like living here. Wish the rent was a little more affordable.
Great Building in prime east Williamsburg
Pros
Near a lot of good shops, music venues, etc. Renovated and modern design Only 2 units per floor
Cons
On a busy street corner, but if you're on a high floor noise isn't too bad
