good value
From: -Anonymous-Date posted: 7/2/2009
Years at this apartment: 2006 - 2009
Moved here from a luxury home in Newton after divorce, so it was definitely like taking fifteen years back in time. That said, I really like the building and for a guy who's owned a house in Chestnut Hill for 10 years I think it's a great deal for the price. I wanted to be careful with money which led me here.
Pluses:
- affordable parking
- very nice and diverse set of people: it's very nice to be living amongst so many cultures and the people are extremely nice
- responsive maintenance
- terrific views of the river
- great value
- incredible location to everything (by car; T is a bit of a walk)
Minuses:
- no charm
- parking not attached to building so have to go down one elevator then over and up another
- slow elevators during rush times
- no washer/dryers in units (first time for me in 15 years, may be not as big an issue for you)
Overall, I have been very pleased. I will be moving back to a more luxury building downtown and something more "age-appropriate" but I have no complaints. I am happy that I met so many nice people from around the world and felt that it was a good experience for my children as well.
