My husband and I live in a 2-bedroom unit that's NOT in the new tower, and the general experience has been more than fantastic. We have been fortunate enough to not have ANY of the rude neighbor experiences we read about before moving in. There are people hanging around in the court yard quite often, but it is rarely ever too loud for me to notice. This place is MUCH nicer than all the other places we looked at with realtors, and the rent at those places would come out to be about equal to Auburn Court once you add the realtor fees and parking fees.

Pros: 1. Parking is included, which is really nice for us (but the space is the smallest I have ever seen) 2. Maintenance issues are taken care of fairly quickly 3. Location can't be beat - close to grocery stores and public transportation 4. Balcony for our unit!

Cons: 1. Even though there is a laundry unit in the apartment, we have to pay through a smart card per load. The smart card machine has broken several times. 2. No elevator in units not in the new tower 3. The cabinets and some hardware in the apartment are dated

Also several people have said this is a low income apartment - this is actually a partially moderate-income apartment. You have to make a minimum amount but lower than the ceiling to qualify for the program, and the number is based on the income levels in the City of Cambridge. So don't be surprised that there are people of mixed social/economic classes, but again nobody has been rude to us in any way, and that is all we can ask for so we're very happy.
