Reviews

180 Montague's location and front-line staff are the strongest parts of the resident experience. The more critical accounts focus on recurring building upkeep, especially pests and laundry, plus how management handles move-out or habitability disputes.

Construction and mechanical noise affect some homes

Daytime building work and low-floor supermarket equipment can disrupt work or sleep depending on the apartment's exposure.
