Pearl Street Co-op

I really wanted to like living here, but this co-op has been a nightmare from day one. The biggest issue is the HVAC system, or I should say, the complete lack of one worth calling a system. The "heating" barely pushes warm air, and in winter the apartment stays at a constant chilly 60-65 F no matter how high you crank the ancient thermostat. In summer it's even worse: the AC (if you can even call it that) is so underpowered that the indoor temperature climbs into the mid 80s during heatwaves. We basically live with fans running 24/7 and still wake up sweating. Even for what we're paying, this is unacceptable. Also, the parties are disruptive.

Living at Pearl was a major part of my college experience. It helped me improve my understanding of how to live wonderfully with others from various backgrounds. I made lifelong friendships, and still enjoy going back to visit when possible!

One of the best places I’ve lived. A caring, fun and well organised place full of amazing people who respect each other and have fun. Truly a golden experience!
