I lived at 85 Trapelo Road for a year in a one-bedroom apartment -- your basic enter in the kitchen, living room is straight ahead of you, bedroom is next to that, and bathroom is off the kitchen. I only moved out since I moved in with my fiance. It was a nice apartment, small, but homey. A lot of people in my building were dissatisfied with Phil Ballo's handling of maintenance. He rarely came and fixed anything. There was also only one washer and dryer for 12 apartments. The rent was raised from $750 for a one bedroom (the building is all one bedrooms) to $780, but I moved out before I had to pay that too long. I hear it's almost up to $900, but that's reasonable considering its good locaiton. The pros were that there was plenty of parking for guests, recycling, the grounds were well-maintained, Phil did put in a new intercom system, the carpeting was nice in my apartment, it was reasonably quiet, I liked my neighbors and they were fairly considerate, and there was storage. Not a bad place to live overall, but I'm glad I own now.
