Love it here at the Addison. Just wish the gym was bigger with more equipment and that our apartment hallway carpet and walls were updated. The staff are amazing here- super funny and down to earth. They make my day!

Shuyi

Everything is great and nice. Love the gym and the security. The coffee around the neighborhood is great. The street around here all very lovely. Pet friendly, very sweet.

Jay

Overall we really like living at the Addison, and the staff is great. We do miss the community events that used to occur more regularly before the pandemic, and even the ones that were scheduled at the start of the pandemic (ie painting class).

Patrick

Great place to live. Have been here for about a year now and have had a great experience. Only issue is getting things fixed in a more timely manner(i.e. the elevator that was out for weeks).

Mahdi

My time here has been great. The staff is very helpful and get any request done as soon as possible. Amenities are useful and enjoyable. Really enjoyed living here.

The guards are so nice. I love the neighborhood around here. The subway is so convenient to Manhattan. Restaurants are so good, I love the vibe here.

The building is nice but it is seasonal, which means you can’t turn hon the AC starting in October. Unfortunately because of that the furnaces let out heat even when off and the apartments feel sooooo hot compared to the hallways or just in general...

The staff are always so helpful and extremely accommodating. They always make me feel welcome every time I come back.

Gabriel

It was great, service was friendly, shopping market was very close and can take the train to the gym. Laundromat works fine, but my only complaint were the elevators.

Great service from the maintenance team and the doormen. Everyone is so friendly and helpful! Truly no complaints. Especially after the fire and with COVID, these are not easy times, so it is all appreciated!

The Addison is a great place to live, especially because of its proximity to the conveniences of Downtown Brooklyn and the charms of Boerum Hill. The staff are so kind and thoughtful, too!

It’s a very nice place to live, it’s close to my old neighborhood, the subway is close and it’s a block away from where my parents live. My only problem is the elevator that goes to the laundry room, it’s slow and takes too long to arrive.

Love the building and have been here for 9 years. Love the doormen and neighborhood the most. Sometimes management is frustrating, as messaging about this like construction aren’t always clear or timely.

My lease started yesterday and I am extremely excited to start a new chapter. So far, it has been wonderful. I am looking forward to meeting the neighbors and exploring the neighborhood.

The Addison is a great place to live! The neighborhood is truly unbeatable - close to all the trains, lots of parks, restaurants and businesses in Park Slope and Boerum Hill and the conveniences of Downtown Brooklyn.

The location of The Addison couldn't be more perfect! We've lived here for nearly 6 years and love it. The value is great compared to other apartments in the area which have much higher rents for similar size apartments.

Mingxi

Generally speaking, the environment of the whole apartment is pretty good. The doorman is amiable and the express delivery is well organized.

Great location and neighborhood. Great staff, especially the front desk folks. 1 one star for price & value. I would stay here longer if we can get the price down compared to other newer facilities.

Community at the Addison is lovely. The doormen are so friendly and always getting to know the people/families in the building. It feels like home.
