The Clermont Armory

I lived there for three years and had a great time. The staff was always friendly and helpful and having a laundry facility in the building was a plus. I had an older dog at the time, so having an elevator was ideal. I had plenty of closet space and more light than I knew what to do with.
It was only a few blocks to restaurants on DeKalb Ave and Laffayette St as well Ft. Green Park. It was on the edge of somewhat dodgy Myrtle Ave. (used to be known as Murder Ave.), but I never had any problems.
I agree with the previous poster that the floors carry a lot of noise. By noise, I mean just walking around. And yes, noises from basic apartment living really got amplified by the cheap construction of the floors.
Overall, I would highly recommend living there.

The Clermont Armory is generally a nice place to live. Building was refurbished around 2000 so it carries with it many of the modern amenities common to newer buildings. The staff is simply terrific and incredibly friendly. The building is kept spotless. I have never had to wait long for a maintenance issue in the rare instances I have needed service.

Negatives:
***The noise from the floors is nothing short of horrendous. It has even been admitted to me by particular members of the staff that they floors were built improperly allowing each foot step of your neighbors not only to be heard but amplified by the drum like gap.
–despite being a «new» building there is no central air.
–the price is a bit steep considering it’s proximity to the nearest train
–Close to the projects. Depending on which side of the street you are on it can get HOOD fast, and I mean fast.
