Pros: Stuytown keeps everything pretty clean. They are always out doing little projects on the oval. The building itself is clean Cons: The buildings themselves could use some updating. The individual units are slowly being renovated, but the common areas could definitely use some work. The laundry rooms in particular. Advice to landlord: Don’t treat your tenants like number quotas to be met. People are very loyal to Stuytown and when they have a complaint or issue, it’s usually very valid.

Pros: Very clean and responsive management to work requests. Neighbors are nice and complex feels generally safe. Mostly pros of living here. Also, gave back security deposit at end of lease easily with no hassles. Cons: Worst thing was the noise levels. Although management was responsive to noise complaints, still heard banging all day from neighbors upstairs. Also, DO NOT rent a unit above one of their cafes! The cafe (stuy town owned, located right under residents units) played music loudly outdoors almost all day even though many residents were working from home during covid, took multiple calls for them to turn it down and not have top 40 hits blasting through the window every day while trying to work/take exams.

Pros: Great neighborhood with lots of families Cons: We had a flood in the apartment that came from the apartment above. Management took a while to solve the issue but it is a large complex with many buildings so it is expected to have a longer wait time but weeks went by before it was fixed and patched up

Pros: Pretty grounds that has a campus/community feel. Cons: Stuytown could care less about the quality of their tenants apartments. Maintenance requests are done with little care and they routinely damage things in the process. Upper management needs to be stayed on top of in order for anything to get done properly. Minimal care and sense of urgency unless you make legal threats. The walls are literally paper thin. Any given day you can regularly hear apartment doors slamming, people walking up and down the stairwell, neighbors talking or even sneezing/coughing, walking around above or below, or blasting music. Invest in a great pair of noise cancelling headphones and come to terms with that everyone can hear everything and anything you are doing in your apartment 24/7. The laundry room is an absolute disaster. Machines are constantly broken and eat your money. Stuytown continues to raise prices YoY. It’s honestly more cost effective to just send your laundry out vs paying their crazy prices. Dryers barely work to dry your clothes and the temp settings do not work either. Advice to landlord: Take care of your tenants by doing quality apartment maintenance vs trying to upsell future ones on all the new renovations that are only in a small % of the apartments. The photos at leasing office are fooling nobody! The apartments do not look like that. Lastly, all the work being done to the grounds is great, but the entire neighborhood comes and uses them and the residents have to pay for YoY upkeep charges. Nobody ever checks the oval space, basketball courts, outdoor gym, if people actually live there.
