Here at Cronin's Landing, tenants are taught the art of independence.

Communications with rowdy and rambunctious neighbors are deftly dealt with a call to the local police department. The staff welcomes all comments and complaints; they however don't do much to address them. So for all you potential tenants who love playing loud bass music and slamming doors you will do so with impunity.

I expect you will have no need for a radio or any personal music system, since our apartment's ambiance was like a two room dance club: our master bedroom enjoyed alternating tracks of house or techno with heavy bass from next door, but wait that isn't all--prepare for all night karaoke and Asian house from above. And just when the party seems to die down around dinnertime our neighbors supplies the pungent fog of pot just like your very own fog machine. You have a complimentary wake up call at around 7am - 8am in the form of motorized landscaping equipment: leaf blowers, hedge trimmers, you name it.

The concierge will sign for your packages, smile, open doors, and greet you; but don't ask them to confront loud neighbors. Expect to talk to the management and phone in complaints for at least 8 months into your lease before any results and those are at best temporary. They don't like quiet tenants who pay their rents on time; but cater to dorm life. The good news is the management is very helpful with alternatives when you give notice, offering to switch apartments.

Oh yes, the moment you give notice beware because suddenly all the laxity and casualness are gone. They are prompt to show your apartment, but they give you a generous 10 minutes notice.

Last but not least there is Margie. She seems to be top dog in the leasing office as all actions and decisions must first go by Margie before the concierge will do anything. She will enforce all the terms of the lease that concern money, but not those concerning neighbors. She is like the big dog that growls at you from behind the chain linked fence.

Enjoy your stay at Cronin?s Landing, Waltham?s premier apartment complex or better yet pass.

P.S I suggest you document every correspondence and complaint.
