Archstone Brooklyn (formerly 180 Montague Street): The Worst (Not Recommending)

2009-03-04T07:21:11-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This is the worst building in NY. They charge luxury rental prices, but this is not a luxury building. The management is rude. Everything in my apt is either broken or on its way out. The water is never hot. The elevator breaks every other day. The residents are noisy. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Archstone Brooklyn (formerly 180 Montague Street): Duplicitous management, noisy (Not Recommending)

2008-04-14T12:44:27-06:00

From generalsherm20: Constant work on building- drilling outside, working on elevators inside; basically unlivable between the hours of 8 AM and 5 PM. Management is wholly unwilling to consider rent abatements, despite not warning prospective lessees of the work that was about to being (I specifically asked if there was any work ...

Archstone Brooklyn (formerly 180 Montague Street): Nice Place! (Recommending!)

2007-10-25T10:40:24-06:00

From nygal03: I've been in the building since Sept. 1st and I haven't had any problems. The management team is always very responsive to my questions and concerns(calls or emails back same day), the service team comes out same day to fix stuff and the concierge is very friendly (even at 2am!). ...

Archstone Brooklyn (formerly 180 Montague Street): Awful (Not Recommending)

2007-06-25T11:32:36-06:00

From Ih8Archstone: Do not live here. Terrible rude management staff (but nice custodial/desk staff). Elevators out routinely, other aspects of bldg. not as nice as advertised and often out-of-service. This is a corporate bldg. which is fine as logn as the tab is being picked up for you. (I won't get in ... [click to read full apartment review]

Archstone Brooklyn (formerly 180 Montague Street): Elevators (Not Recommending)

2007-06-25T11:03:35-06:00

From -Anonymous-: One elevator has been out for THREE days now! Rediculous! I have been enjoying my 14th floor walkup for the past three days. Not sure what the going rate is for a 14th floor walkup...but I can gaurantee you Archstone is charging too much. Feel sorry for people on higher ... [click to read full apartment review]

Archstone Brooklyn (formerly 180 Montague Street): Strictly for out-of-towners (Not Recommending)

2007-05-30T02:24:05-06:00

From jimmiboi: Was beautiful, but now is full of families with buggies and maids and dogs. Impossible waits for the elevators, annoying Musak in the halls, up to 60% rent increases. Strictly for people coming into town and not knowing how to find the many bargains in Brooklyn (especially new construction). Avoid. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Archstone Brooklyn (formerly 180 Montague Street): Pleasant doormen. Astronomical rent increases. (Not Recommending)

2007-04-12T08:28:30-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I was in the building for several years, but when I got my lease renewal offer from Archstone this year I was shocked to see that they intended to raise my monthly rent by over 20%. A previous reviewer stated that Archstone takes the ridiculous view that Brooklyn Heights should ... [click to read full apartment review]

Archstone Brooklyn (formerly 180 Montague Street): What a joke (Not Recommending)

2007-03-08T00:26:47-06:00

From samuel.blaustein@brooklaw.edu: The new management has ruined a nice building...and its not the money..this was, is and always will be an expensive building in an expensive area...the doorman, building porters and maintenance staff are all wonderful hard-working people who would easily run a tighter ship than the jokesters running the place now. ...

Archstone Brooklyn (formerly 180 Montague Street): Awful new management (Not Recommending)

2006-06-11T17:45:57-06:00

From moraldoc@yahoo.com: This building was acquired recently by Archstone Management and these people have done nothing other than ruin this once luxury high rise in beautiful Brooklyn Heights. Management is headed by two 20s-30s fraternity boys who I always see carrying ice, sprite, orange juice, and a brown paper bag up to ... [click to read full apartment review]

2004-07-31T00:00:00-06:00

From skybluekmt: We live on the 23rd floor in the back of the buildling - amazing views (albeit of the rest of brooklyn). Can be loud outside - there always seems to be construction going on, and yes, we can hear garbage trucks too. Facing south, we can keep the window open ... [click to read full apartment review]

Archstone Brooklyn (formerly 180 Montague Street): Don't Live In The Front Of The Building (Not Recommending)

2004-06-06T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I felt completely ripped off living in this building for one year. As soon as my lease was up, I moved away.

While the location was convenient, EVERY NIGHT THE GARBAGE TRUCKS MAKE A TON OF NOISE!!!! I am talking loud whining noise IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

IT IS ... [click to read full apartment review]

Archstone Brooklyn (formerly 180 Montague Street): Vintage City Life (Not Recommending)

2003-11-06T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: 180 Montague might as well be in Manhattan. That has pluses and negatives:

Positives:

Close to a number of subways

Near the promenade

Proximity to the city (20 minutes by subway to center of Manhattan)

Doormen are fairly attentive

Caution:

If you live in an apt facing the street, be prepared for noise. The windows even on ... [click to read full apartment review]
