We really wanted to love this building a the location is great and it looks beautiful. Unfortunately it's severely lacking and management is useless. Cheap construction with appliances and hot water constantly breaking even though everything is brand...

Love this building! The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Kinley (the property manager) is always quick to respond and very proactive. The building is well built (awesome facade insulation and finishes). It has a great indoor courtyard which i...

Just moved in. My experience with Kevin has been great

Unresponsive management. Look elsewhere

Ben Harvey

I moved in a few weeks ago. The process was seamless, and the leasing team made me feel like they cared about residents and their comfort here. Management has been kind and responsive as well. Door staff is so awesome they often have delivery package...

UDPATE - 6 MONTHS LATER STILL NO FUNCTIONING WASHING MACHINE. NEW MGMT IS ALSO GIVING US THE RUN AROUND despite the fact that our washing machine is currently leaking water all over our floor. Management has refused to fix issues affecting our unit t...

I signed a two year lease with Magnolia Dumbo with high hopes. The courtyard is beautiful, the apartments were brand new and the location seemed promising. The door staff were all very nice and so were the maintenance crew. I had deep, deep regrets a...

Lived here for 1 year and mostly the experience was ok. The door staff were friendly and mantenance staff great. However the management are rude unpleasant and unhelpful. We were fined 800 dollars for having two 10 year old girls in the pool on a rai...

Just an absolutely Disgusting & Humiliating Handling of Guest Policy by Management - From a resident who has lived in this complex for nearly 3 years. I am absolutely appalled at how Magnolia Dumbo today (10/25) handled guest policy. For context, I h...

This is by far the best building I’ve ever lived in! The doormen are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the amenities are fantastic. Maintenance is always prompt, usually arriving the same day I call. I feel safe here and couldn’t imagine a b...

Catherine Kemerling

I love living at Magnolia! It’s a 10/10 building with the best amenities and the people who work here are fantastic. The concierge team is elite, we love everyone who works there and the maintenance team is always super responsive. The 8th floor is...

Magnolia Dumbo - 160 Front Street - Is a great place to live. Everything was as promised throughout the leasing process. Doormen/women are nice and work around the clock. We've had 2 small issues with the unit and the handymen came quickly and were e...

Magnolia has been an amazing place to live. The apartments are beautiful and the staff are all extremely accommodating, especially Nataliia - always friendly, always helpful. Maintenance is very responsive to personal requests and the building as a w...

I lived at Magnolia Dumbo for two years and thoroughly enjoyed my time here. The building is first-class and extremely convenient, with excellent amenities like Lifetime Fitness on the ground level and a rooftop pool. The parking garage was another c...

Magnolia Dumbo Apartments in Brooklyn are fantastic! The modern design, spacious layouts, and stunning views of the Manhattan skyline make it a perfect place to live. The amenities, including the rooftop terrace, gym, and lounge areas, are top-notch....

David Rosenthal

The doormen and doorwomen and staff (cleaning people, repair people) are fantastic, but the management of the building is horrendous. The building is grossly overpriced, and management just tries to take advantage of the tenants at every turn. They r...

EDIT: My issue with the building is with management and how they run things. @Magnolia Management: Please supply all irrefutable evidence in writing. Management claims they’ve reach out to me to rectify this charge on my account however, each time ...

Jack LeVine

We've been living at Magnolia Dumbo for over a year, and love it. Nataliia in leasing was incredibly helpful during our search and renewal process. The front desk staff (Ray, Roberto, Deshawn, Zico, Amara) are incredibly kind and are a joy to come ho...

Taynara Bastos

Absolutely love living here! Building is clean, great amenities, very quiet and all doormen and management people have been very nice and helpful.

Holly Beck

Unfortunately if you are looking for a longer-term home for your family, this is not the place for you unless you have an unlimited budget. You can count on egregious increases at renewal time that are well above market, despite their claims that the...

Brielle Bellew

I love this building! Every staff member is incredible and makes the place feel like home. Can’t say enough good things!

Nabil Sarbaoui

Overall I think this is one of the most pleasant places to live in NYC. Nataliia at the leasing office has been very nice and helpful during our stay and all the staff working at the front desk are extremely nice (Deshawn, Ray, Indira, Amara, Roberto...

Radena Salmon

Beautiful building and location maintained by CJ and his crew who make everything seamless! It has been such a great upgrade since CJ began managing everything. Special shout out to our amazing doormen who handle the minor details for our family - es...

Julia Lang

I have been living at The Magnolia for the past 6 months - Carlos and his team (especially Matthew) are doing an outstanding job. I am so happy to have their support and witness their hard work every single day. Carlos goes above and beyond each and ...

Lindy Potratz

We lived through a lot of construction/chaos in the beginning months of our two-year lease with Magnolia. It was extremely disappointing and is certainly not perfect yet (especially the incessant dog barking) but I can say that things have definitely...

Emilie Pourchet

My partner and I have been at Magnolia a little under a year and we LOVE it. Since we’ve moved in, everyone has been incredibly kind. The front desk receptionists are all super nice, and so is the leasing office. They’ve been incredibly helpful w...

Rafael Batalion

Natalia was great!!! She made the application process and the move in process about as easy as possible. I highly recommend. She responded to any of my questions right away and was very helpful and kind. I am very lucky I was able to have her in help...

Claire Cannon

I'm actually surprised there are so many negative reviews here. I've lived in the building for 18 months, and we've had minimal issues. There were some growing pains when we first moved in, but I think that comes with moving into a brand new building...

D K

Great building. The staff is friendly and helped make our move a breeze. Nataliia is really nice. Would highly recommend living in Magnolia. Not sure what all the negative reviews are about.

Chad Randolph

Great building with a friendly concierge !!

Maria Brasil

WORST experience ever since I left. My lease ended July 27th, I was supposed to receive my security deposit in 30 days after the lease and it's September 9th and I haven't receive. Nataliia from Greystar stopped responding my emails.

Loren

I do not recommend this place. Think twice before you want to move in. I am glad i finally got to move out. One star for the helpful and nice front desk staff. Zero star for the management, took months to give your deposit back, deducted money, never...

Felipe Kays-Díaz Toro

Magnolia Dumbo is amazing. We have been here for almost 2 weeks, and the experience is incredible. People are so nice, the amenities are spectacular, and the apartment is comfortable. Definitely this is an amazing place to live.

Drew Warshaw

I spent one year living at Magnolia Dumbo and very happy that I am not living there anymore. I moved one block over, just to remove myself from the terrible management. I rented a studio at Magnolia on the 6th floor which was next to the trash room. ...

Daisuke Tanaka

Living at Magnolia Dambo since last month and has been great experience thus far. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Special shout-out to Nataliia who was very resourceful and helpful throughout the administration process - thank you!

Irina Zhikh

I’m visiting my friend who lives there quite often and I absolutely love their building and amenities!! She also introduced me to their staff at the office to discuss my potential apartment options and everyone was super nice and helpful!! The neig...

Claire Din

In full transparency I considered living here until I went to visit the building for a tour. At first I thought the blond woman in the management office was kind. Was I wrong indeed! As I left, I heard her call me fatty to her colleague. Who does tha...

Beware of Bullying Maintenance Personnel

Billy Hilbert

It’s is the worst building in Dumbo. They treat their tenants like second class citizen. There is water damage due to an incident with flooding and mold in the walls of the hallways. Look elsewhere if you want a kind community that is safe to dwell...

Cece P

Living here has been challenging. The management has displayed a complete lack of empathy and kindness. It feels as if they are doing us a favor by allowing us to live in the building, rather than understanding that we are paying customers deserving ...

Cormac David Spencer

Poor staff. Rude. I’m writing having heard of a truly rude and disrespectful incident today. Not good enough

Sean Plunkett

The community is great! The concierges are very friendly, and the management team is super helpful. Highly recommend if you want to live in Dumbo.

Zheng Zhou

I have recently visited Magnolia Dumbo shopping for rental apartments. The leasing manager and agent are both very professional, responsive, worked with me immediately. They have carefully listened what I need, answered all my questions clearly and p...

Susan Singer

The rooftop and pool are nice in the summer, and it is usually pretty quiet in our apartment. We especially enjoy the interactions we have had with the doormen and porters in the building. DeShawn brings a great energy to the building and is always k...

Caitlin Teres

5 stars for the staff alone! Deshawn, the daytime doorman and concierge is a total pro. Amazing at all things operations- packages, deliveries, loading/unloading, coordinating communication, and general knowledge and helpfulness when things come up. ...

April King

Great building with a very friendly and considerate staff! In particular, I want to call out Deshawn for his positive attitude and and overall helpfulness, always adding personal touch to the job!

Caroline Bologna

Living at Magnolia Dumbo has been a wonderful experience thus far. Our apartment is spacious and quiet, and the concierge team is so warm and helpful. Special shout-out to Deshawn who has made us feel at home here from day one. He's incredibly friend...

Hallie Williams

worked with Kinley Orians while I was apartment shopping and she made the process really easy! I highly recommend asking for her!! She is knowledgeable, kind, funny, and gets the job done!! Thank you Kinley!!

Victoria Phelps

I moved into Magnolia in April of 2022 (have lived there for almost a year now). I was one of the first residents and the first few months were great in the building. Staff was responsive and helpful. The building was well taken care of and I was ext...

Thanks lilian wilson for a job well done, I have been trading manually and hardly make money until i was introduced to you, I never thought of gaining or having a stress free trading experience, I seriously don't know how to appreciate you ma'am. Wit...

Danny Aoun

Stay away from the 2nd Floor at all costs until 2024 or until you see all the buildings beneath complete unless you want constant loud construction noise to include Saturdays. Don't make the same mistake I made live on an apartment on the 4th floor o...

Griffin Davidson

When looking for a luxury apartment, the secret sauce is being in an a 5 diamond building near a train and a gym. This place has it all, a block away from the F train, new lifetime gym right under the apartment. Can't really ask for more. Added bonus...

Jackson Diaz-Cobo

Amazing location with a wonderful staff! The leasing office was very welcoming and helpful, and the building staff is exceptional. 10/10 views and amenities! Highly recommend.

Daniel Abad

The bad reviews are from people who have never lived in a city before.

Sonia Kopel

Overall, this building is incredibly disappointing. The leasing office far over promised and severely under delivered. There are some very good features of this building like the doormen, the views, and the proximity to the subway, but this does not ...

Lacey Christ

Peeling wallpaper, SLOW elevators, lots of hidden amenity fees. I feel bad for the tenants.

R Bains

The team at Magnolia Dumbo has made my experience seamless from the start. Kinley especially has been incredible throughout - responsive and reliable!

Chandler Rouse

Couldn’t have better things to say about this place! Great location, amazing amenities and extremely accommodating. Kinley is outstanding! She host the best events and I’d always so helpful when you need something!

Terri Bullock

Couldn't be happier. Start to finish my experience has been positive. Kinley has been especially helpful!

We've been at this building for several months now and have enjoyed our experience overall. There were some issues when we first moved in but those have since been resolved (lots of the issues had to do with the fact that the building is so new...som...

Great Team, Excellent Communication, and Lives up to name.

Dayin Chen

My wife and I moved in early March and have been very happy here. The staff, beginning with the management - Blerina, Alicia, Kinley, to the front door staff - Zico and Deshaun and co. to the porters, cleaning staff have all been great. As with all b...

María Alejandra Morín

This building is beautiful and very well maintained. But I really have to highlight how great and welcoming Kinley was, she really made the move process go super easy!

Steve Weidenbach

Love Magnolia Dumbo, its been a pleasure to experience the property. Kinley has been so kind and great to work with since day one!

Alison Mangiatordi

Lovely building with very nice amenities, especially the pool, grills and courtyard (so rare in NYC!). The staff is attentive, friendly and helpful! Management quickly addresses our concerns. I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else in Dumbo :) Only l...

Magnolia is the place to be!!! Not only is the property amazing but so is the management team that makes up Magnolia Dumbo. There is a wonderful sense of community and I love attending the resident events! I’m so happy Magnolia is my home here in B...

Kinley and the entire staff of the building are absolutely amazing! They keep the building in immaculate condition and continue to build on the amazing amenities that the building already has! Thank you for all you do!

I love living at Magnolia Dumbo. The Magnolia team really goes out their way to make each resident have the best living experience. If anyone is thinking about making Magnolia Dumbo their home or is already living there, I suggest you say hi to Kinle...
