A Nice Place to Live
Pros
The building was nice and clean, I felt safe and comfortable living there and it was a plus having a washer and dryer in the building. The rooms are very spacious and have a lot of natural light which I appreciated. The super is very nice and I did not have any issues living here. The location is also beautiful and is right next to Forest Park, which is nice if you need to see some nature.
Cons
The size of the kitchen was a bit of an obstacle, but we made it work by getting extra shelving for storage. It also gets very hot in the winters with the heaters, but that could just be a personal thing. I usually cracked a window if needed. The building itself is about 10-18+ minutes from the LIRR or E/F/J trains and the bus is not always accurate on arrival time which was a hassle sometimes if you were in a rush. Although the peacefulness was nice, I did feel like I had to travel out closer into the city in order to have a night out or do something fun during the day. It is definitely better for families, those okay with the tedious transportation, or older individuals who will spend most of their time close to home.
Friendly neighborhood renter
