Seaview Estates Apartamentos

parks, grocery stores and above mentioned items, for me, it’s provides a sense of peace of mind for myself and my two daughters. Plus, if i were to decide to get a pet, that’s an option that I have whereas some locations don’t allow pets.

bathroom has mismatched tiles and a tub faucet that just falls right off if the pressure is too high. I asked for the floor to be fixed and the new tile floor was laid over the existing one making it impossible to open the bathroom door because the floor was now 2 inches higher than before - but no worries the landlord sawed off the bottom of the door to rectify that little problem. Base board and picture molding that had been damaged and removed over the years has not been replaced leaving rooms looking a bit haphazard. The kitchen boasts generic factory cabinets with no handles and laminate countertops that are supposed to look like granite (they are pealing by the way) and get ready to wash some dishes because there is no dishwasher . There are upsides...The convenience of living within a 10 minute walk to the Staten Island ferry and having access to multiple bus lines, a supermarket and some grocery stores In addition to the proximity to my kids elementary school is what keeps me here. It's also a fairly quiet neighborhood even with the high school right across the street. I don't pay to heat the apartment which in a place this old would be expensive. In the end it's livable, I'm really into design so I have made the best of it and when I'm financially able I will purchase a home where I can make sure everything is the way I want it to be.

problems, but during the winter we only get hot water at specific times. The odors in the hallways can be a bit overwhelming because they rarely shampoo the carpets, the disheveled look of the entry ways (marks on walls, carpet, etc), the worn down appearance of the inside of the buildings is just unacceptable for the amount of rent we pay monthly.

dryers but I've yet to have a problem but I'm sure it is only a matter of time. Overall my experience here has been great, the price is wonderful and worth the commute.
