180 Montague Apartments

"I am a former tenant of 180 Montague Street. Great building! Very well maintained. Located in the middle of everything (subways on both street corners, a grocery store as a tenant of the building, tons of restaurants near by, minutes from the boardwalk) Staff was great. Highly recommended."

"180 Montague is a 2004 Blackberry priced like a modern day iPhone. There's a massive disconnect between the property managers (Equity Residential) and the quality of this building. ***Key takeaway - do not move here unless you're prepared to pay top dollar for a mediocre building, and then get hit with unreasonable rent increases that force most residents to move out after only 1-2 years.*** From bad to good: Pricing is 1/5. - Even if you get a good deal as an incoming resident, every single tenant will tell you that your lease renewal process will involve rent increases as high as 20%! - Equity does not value retention, and will hit you with unreasonable renewal rates. Even if you try to negotiate, expect corporate processes to prevent reason from prevailing. The process is run through a centralized office that has no compassion for residents, or grounding in reality. - Renewal nonsense aside, the base rent here is also far above what you'll get for such high rents. This building is overvalued, and you can easily get a better apartment in a more modern building for the same (or even lower) price point nearby. The building deserves a 3/5. - Apartments are spacious, and floor plans are good. More square than "narrow rectangle" like many other buildings. - Two elevators for 30+ floors, and one is routinely offline for either housekeeping or technical issues. At least once a week, prepare for a 10+ minute wait to get out of the building or up to your apartment, if you're unlucky enough to live above the fifth floor. - No in-unit washer or dryer. - Building amenities can't handle the high-traffic volume periods. The common laundry room is unusable on Sundays (single people) and Monday mornings (nannies of rich families), because the building just wasn't designed keep up with actual capacity. Finally, the on site staff are lovely, and easily deserve 5/5. Friendly, welcoming, and professional. Likewise, the location is excellent."

"We moved out 2 weeks ago. I would have to say that if we return back to New York we would definitely try to come back again to 180 Montague. Our experience here for over 2 years was great. John and Bah from the leasing office are great, really made everything from moving in to moving out really easy. The front desk staff and the maintenance crew are really friendly and go out of their way to always assist. Big thumbs up to all the team."

"A very beautiful place to live! Super modern building! Clean white cozy apartment! Professional rental staff, always in touch! Decent and reliable! I am very grateful to them for the warm and understanding attitude towards me and my family! I advise everyone to contact this unique and kind team of professionals in organizing a comfortable life for people!"

"A very pleasant impression of living in this apartment complex. A professional management company with nice and responsive employees. The ideal location of the complex is due to two steps to Downtown Brooklyn with lots of shops and to Brooklyn Heights Promenade with beautiful views of Manhattan. An area with pleasant neighbors, where you feel safe and peaceful. The complex has a gym for residents, which is open 24/7, which is very cool. Everything is always clean and respectable inside the complex. Thank you for the atmosphere!"
