Jerry maintained says it's "my" responsibility

It's an expensive place, & I've seen the reviews that it's not luxurious. But it has 2 bathrooms, definitely needed, & 2 bedrooms. I've had good interactions with the office, Jessica & Kate especially. But we're on the basement floor & have almost cobstant plumbingā€¦Ā See More >

Residents are allowed to smoke in their apartments. That makes for a lovely hallway smell! While I rented, one mentally unstable resident started dating a drug dealer. He would make drug deals right outside our building. They caused a huge fire in their apartment whichā€¦Ā See More >

          This complex is way overpriced, the only thing luxury about these apartments is the price tag. The staff pretends to be nice as long as you don't ask for anything. They can be extremely rude and arrogant at times, never admitting fault. The only savingā€¦Ā See More >

                    I have lived in many different apartments around MA and this is BY FAR the biggest dump. The crazy part is, I read these terrible reviews before moving in but against better judgement, gave it a shot anyway. These other reviews are being WAY tooā€¦Ā See More >

                      We lived here around almost two years and it is a nice place to live, but it's certainly not luxury. You are essentially getting a regular, average apartment, with a high price tag. The walls and floors are suprisingly thin and allow you to hearā€¦Ā See More >
