Metro 303

My wife and I have lived here for 2 years and love it. The new management company is great. We love the convenience of having a gym in the building and the train station within walking distance. We just signed another lease. I would definitely recommend the building,

An updated review: Management even more supine than ever. This place is horrible. do not live here by any means. Surrounding area is a total disaster unless you go north half a mile towards garden city. If i could go back in time and not live here I would.

UPDATED review: today our two cars were broken into!!! This happened overnight while parked in the building’s garage (for which we pay!!!) the police said this has happened before in here! This place is so unsafe is ridiculous!!! And the management is not taking any responsibility about it! So ready to leave this place.
Where do I start?!
Just moved here because I just needed an apartment for a year close to my job and with enough space for my our new baby. MISTAKE!
Don’t move here!
1) prices are for a «luxury» building and this is NOT a luxury building AT ALL!
2) fire alarms go off in EVERY UNIT (false alarms!) in the building at least twice a month in the middle of the night, that means 1−3am and they keep going for more than an hour because there is no one in the building from management that can turn them off in case there is a false alarm. I have a new born and I work so I have to take the baby since she was one week old outside with a cold weather! This is RIDICULOUS!!! And they do nothing to fix it!
3)people that lives here go from professionals to teenagers that share an apartment. and from educated to very ghetto! So be ready.
4) the elevator are always dirty, smell like marijuana all the time, and when you are walking to one of the elevators the trash is right there and smells like trash! Horrible!
5) the building is in an unsafe area. While you walk to nice garden city a block away, if you walk to late to the other side, it might be dangerous.
6)the management is open business hours, so If you work like we do, you will never be able to find them bc they leave very early.
I have never written a negative review in Unilocal but this place really has made me upset. I’ve been here 4 months and want to leave already.

Horrible… save your money and look elsewhere. I could list all the problems wrong with living here, but even for a temporary place, it’s awful. This place is way overpriced considering the crime is bad, cars are broken into in the garage, fire alarms always go off even in the middle of the night, not very clean (trash is always lurking around outside and downstairs) and noise noise noise! Car lots surround both sides of the apartment that beep and honk ²⁴⁄₇ and you hear everything through the walls. Oh and I found a homemade needle right outside the building about a month ago. Trust me, there’s more, but just save yourself and do not move here. P. S.- I haven’t met a single person here who likes living here. Seriously, do not move here because you will regret it.

This building & it’s management company are the worst. The alarm system goes off once a week in the middle of the night and it takes an average of 4+ hours to turn it off. The sprinkler system has destroyed 12 apartments TWICE in 2014. Apartments have bed bugs and mgt does not disclose this at lease signing. Garbage is found throughout the hallways and garages. Snow removal is a disaster. Dog crap is more prevalent than in most dog parks. Leasing office staff leave a lot to be desired, their only focus is filing vacancies, for existing tenants they are budget mail room clerks.
Finally, someone was murdered on new year’s eve 100 feet from the front door and 3 months later the building still refuses to change it’s security procedures.
I can’t recommend, especially with the rents they charge.

I’ve been living here for the past 6 months, and although the building is new, looks nice on the outside, and management seems friendly and accommodating, ultimately I would have to not recommend this place.
The pluses are the building is modern and looks good. The apartments are spacious, and full of amenities. However, when you spend time here you will soon find out that the walls are paper thin and you can hear everything. The price is way way high. You can find something similar in LIC or Astoria. Also, the immediate neighborhood is dumpy, and could be dangerous. The fire alarms sound once a month, the electricity goes out for a few hours at the same frequency. The halls look like a mental institution, and the they’re are always littered garbage because you leave your trash out in the hall for collection. A large majority of the people that live here are loud college kids, and people with pets don’t pick up after the animals and there is dog poo all over the side of the building. Also, should you be 10 days late on your rent you’ll incur a hefty $ 200 fee that they will refuse to waive even on a first occurrence. There are far too many options on Long Island to pick this place over another. Keep looking.

Choosing to live at Metro303 has to be the one of the best decisions my wife and I have ever made. Each day I look forward to coming home and relaxing in such a tranquil environment. The outside stressors of life are not realized once I enter the property. Metro303 spares no expense when it comes to each apartment and the numerous amenities offered; whether it’s the pool, the advanced gym, fire pit and grill area, and top of the line club house, everything is top notch. Metro303 even offers valet trash collection. Also, the staff here has to be applauded; they are attentive to every residents request and consistently go above and beyond the call. If anyone is thinking about making Metro303 their home… stop thinking and do it, you won’t regret it.
