I live at Balsam for over a year and its great. My self and All my fellow renters are working during the day, so its dead quiet. At night and on weekends its really quiet too. No loud music, no loud movies and no one in the hallway making noise. The neighborhood is quiet itself.
The management is help full and courteous and always willing to listen.
The Exterminator lives on the premises and he tends to minor problems.
All over queens seniors visit the recycle bins for bottles, but its no harm. I don't know why few people mentioned that above.
Suggestions-
I believe the complex needs Survilence cameras for extra safety.
