Tribeca Apartmens

I lived here for about 2 years and it was okay for the most part. Here are some of the likes / dislikes of Tribeca.

We really liked the proximity of the apartments to all of the nearby stores and restaurants it was very convenient! Maintenance did a good job keeping the complex exterior nice and clean.

Our negatives however unfortunately outweighed our positives.

The first issue was how thin the walls were. The neighbor we shared our wall with would ALWAYS come home at like 2-3am and we… would hear her either talking on the phone, her cat or to whichever guest she brought over. We made multiple complaints but nothing was done about it. We’ve also heard her outside of our window just yelling/ laughing/ whatever while she walks into her apartment. I get apartment living, and sharing a wall will occasionally be loud but these walls were just thin!

The second issue was our kitchen space, it was so small that you could fit 2 people in there MAX. It was tough cooking because there’s barely any counter space. The sink is super shallow as well which made it difficult to wash pots and pans. The glaze on the counter will start peeling by just looking at it. Our rent would go up the max amount each year but we were still living with these countertop peels and nothing of value actually went up.

The third issue was the laundry room. The machines would constantly stop working which limited the amount of machines for an entire complex. Having a communal laundry space was tough, there was always someone in there with folding their laundry with their clothes just sprawled all over the machines. FOLD THEM IN YOUR APARTMENT! Want to do your laundry on Sundays? Forget it. There was one lady that would literally use up 4-5 machines at once. We asked her if we could use one of the open/ empty machines she was standing in front of once and she went off on us which then escalated to a shouting match.

A lot of my frustrations came out when the complex changed management. After that a lot of the rules that we originally signed up for went out the window. Smoking is now allowed? Cars can now back up into spaces when I received a “ticket” when I moved in. Cars can be as LOUD as they want at 2am with no discipline and no security to be found. We lived next to the parking lot and there was always a car that would rev its engine in the middle of the night. It sounded like a helicopter taking off. Read More
