Summary

66 Rockwell is a 326-apartment Downtown Brooklyn rental with broad windows, a fitness center, courtyard, rooftop terrace, game room and resident lounge. Residents strongly praise the front desk, superintendent and maintenance team; leasing and account communication, extra amenity or laundry costs and variable apartment condition are the main tradeoffs.
