I would recommend Royal crest over any place in Marlborough. The buildings are 30 yrs old, but still built better than the 2 new Marlborough communities. I know this because I've worked at one of them & my sister lives at the other. Plenty of parking, but tight in a few areas. Grounds are very well kept and snow is always cleaned up quickly. Fitness center is big and equipment is professional & pretty new.

The staff is pleasant & receptive. Maintenance always responds the same day, (actually within minutes most of the time)

When I moved in the management was different from the current management and I've noticed some differences between the 2, but it had no real affect on my way of life. The staff has changed quite a bit since I moved in but the quality is still excellent.

I actually stumbled onto this useless web site by accident. I'm surprised at the negative reviews. I have friends that live here also. They seem to be as pleased as I am living here. I live in building 13, which is attatched to building 14. I am familliar with the pest issue that someone spoke of in a review. My apartment & every other apartment in both buildings were treated over 2 months ago. I was told by Maintenance that they were fogging every apartment & I had to be out for 5 hours.
Also...my carpet, appliances and bathroom are not original. I had my stove replaced last year. My refrigerator was brand new when I moved in. My toilet is 2 or 3 yrs old.
both of my air conditioners where replaced about a year after I moved in. And they have had my carpet steam cleaned twice.

From what I can see, this website is useless. Check out the reviews for the other properties in Marlborough. They are all the same. All the reviews are bad and angry.

My experience has been great here. friendly staff & neighbors. they only bad neighbors are the ones complaining on this website!

Amazing how one person out of 30 seems to think that this place is great. I lived at Royal Crest for three years (only because I didn't want to move, knowing that I could be transferred at any time). Each year, the conditions got worse. No one here speaks English, and often you would see six or seven people living in the same apartment, knowing they all weren't on the lease. But if you like a bunch of drunk, non-English speaking people causing trouble around you, living in filth, with broken appliances, and poorly kept landscaping, then move right in!
