2005-07-14T21:01:01-06:00

From sofiha: The management company was quite good and professional: responsive, friendly, helpful. The location is great, right by the 57 bus route and less than a block from the 64 and 66. The B-line is about 5-10 minute walk. The buildings are quiet. ... [click to read full apartment review]

2005-04-27T14:12:38-06:00

2004-07-21T00:00:00-06:00

2004-05-25T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have now lived here for a year. The management of Forrest Properties is great. They always reply quickly to problems and get them fixed right away.

Barrows Place Apartments: Not so bad. (Recommending!)

2007-10-05T21:43:34-06:00

From urinine: Not sure what all the beefing is about. It's typical student ghetto with decent prices, good amenities, and close to everything. A break in at one of the units every once in a while, a theft here and there, some noise from the bars, but a block from the park, ... [click to read full apartment review]

Barrows Place Apartments: No Hot Water Again??? Forest Properties sucks (Not Recommending)

2003-12-08T00:00:00-06:00

From boston1107: The heat goes out, the hot water vanishes, sometimes the gas is turned off... and what do you hear from Forest Properties? "Someone is working on the problem" - no they´re not. They don´t care about their residents one iota. They´re not the ones who can´t take a shower before ... [click to read full apartment review]

2003-08-26T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This apartment complex is terrible. I have tried to get the management to fix the problems in my apt...door gets stuck, gets fixed wrong...bathtub has leaks and cracks...never gets fixed.

Barrows Place Apartments: Management company manages nothing. (Not Recommending)

2003-01-24T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I am a current resident of Carol Avenue apartments, managed by the same management company, Forest Properties.

Barrows Place Apartments: For $14,400 a year... (Not Recommending)

2002-08-27T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Spending $14,400 a year at a place where the building management stinks....well you do the math.

It bad enough that they take six months and just as many requests to repair something simple, but they NEVER take responsibility for ANYTHING.

So having no hot water, scalding water, no heat r too much ... [click to read full apartment review]

Barrows Place Apartments: Don´t judge a book by it´s cover. (Not Recommending)

2002-06-25T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: While the Store 24 across the street is great, and Allston is a cool place to live, B.P. has become B.S. as far as rent goes. I payed over $200 more a month than when I first moved in. And for what? A rapid and spiraling decline.

Management and maintanance used ... [click to read full apartment review]

From -Anonymous-: After living there for three years, the management and customer service has gone steadily downhill.

Youll be happy living there if...

a) You dont mind losing your hot water and heat for 2-3 weeks each year in the middle of a New England winter. (Stock up on space-heaters, and prepare yourself ... [click to read full apartment review]
