2009-08-28T07:05:26-06:00

From kevinmanilenko: I recently moved out of Kennedy Biscuit Lofts (KBL) in University Park, Cambridge, right near Central Square.When I first looked at the building, the rooms, the amenities, I was excited to move in, and expected a smooth transition. However, about 6 months out of the year are so incredibly unbearable, ... [click to read full apartment review]

2008-06-16T23:38:07-06:00

From -Anonymous-: When I lived there everyone was moved out to redo the ventilation system due to mold problems. I knew so many people who were sick including me.

Kennedy Biscuit Lofts: (Not Recommending)

2007-08-08T15:22:30-06:00

From pinnacle71: This place is noisy.In one bedroom, I could hear my neighbor's conversations as if I were in the same room. I'm not exaggerating, here.The front doors are on hinges, and as people enter, they swing closed and slam shut. Something about the place amplifies this and makes it sound like ...

Kennedy Biscuit Lofts: it's okay (Recommending!)

2007-02-07T21:15:18-06:00

From -Anonymous-: My loft apartment is huge, open and sunny. Central Sq. is a great location. However, there is a strong (moldy?) smell in the summer that seems to linger year round and it's FREEZING in the winter. I blame the HVAC heat/ac. Also, they could not have picked an uglier carpet ... [click to read full apartment review]

Kennedy Biscuit Lofts: hmmmm (Recommending!)

Kennedy Biscuit Lofts: Beware of the utility bills (Not Recommending)

2005-08-17T17:21:23-06:00

From hottie465: I lived in KBL but I had to move out because the utility bills they charge are outrageous. When I moved in they lied about the bills, the leasing agent said that we only were required to pay the electricity for running the fan to blow the hot and cool ...

Kennedy Biscuit Lofts: Great place (Recommending!)

2005-07-12T18:00:18-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Surprised to see all of the bad reviews - I moved in a couple of months ago and haven't seen any of these problems. Mold? The problem must have been resolved, because I haven't seen or heard of any problems.

Office staff (especially Shelly) very helpful and friendly in my ... [click to read full apartment review]

Kennedy Biscuit Lofts: Safety is an issue (Not Recommending)

2004-11-18T18:13:42-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I was initially attracted to KBL by its spacious units and its close proximity to the T and MIT. The whole complex started going downhill about a year after I moved in and is quickly on the decline. The surrounding area is not safe. There have been numerous armed robberies ...

Kennedy Biscuit Lofts: You can do better (Not Recommending)

2004-07-11T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I moved into KBL with my MIT buddies. The unit we took was overpriced, but management let us put six people into a big townhouse unit, so the rent became reasonable. Location is convenient to Star Market, Central Square, and MIT, but the neighborhood to the north is a little ... [click to read full apartment review]

Kennedy Biscuit Lofts: Stay away, mold problem still persists (Not Recommending)

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

From -Anonymous-: Visited the place today. The units we were shown were not the units they were renting, although they looked ok. However, as we were walking through the hallways, we smelled mold. The air in the hallways was thick and moist. We felt that the heat was turned up despite 70 ... [click to read full apartment review]

Kennedy Biscuit Lofts: Went to Kennedy Biscuit Lofts to find apt. and got sick (Not Recommending)

2003-11-15T00:00:00-06:00

From gadget8me2@yahoo.com: We went to the realtor for the Sidney Street Apartments and the Kennedy Bisquit Lofts. The agent quickly whipped us through the lofts like speedy Gonzales and dodged every question we asked about occupancy and the "mold" issue. She quoted us inflated rental prices and then knocked off $200 and ... [click to read full apartment review]

Kennedy Biscuit Lofts: Both good reviews are FAKE (Not Recommending)

2003-09-21T00:00:00-06:00

From etwoe: I heard about this site from the person KBL hired to write and submit the positive reviews on this site! Notice that they´re about the same length: that´s because it´s what they asked for, a concise listing of advertising points.

The bad ones are more accurate, and here are the highlights:

Kennedy Biscuit Lofts: Awful! (Not Recommending)

2003-08-11T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: While the building at first seemed full of character and the location perfect, my experience living in KBL was the worst nightmare and I moved out. Apparently the people who think all is fine there just donﾴt talk to too many other people and didnﾴt think to show up at ... [click to read full apartment review]

Kennedy Biscuit Lofts: I am happy here (Recommending!)

2003-07-29T00:00:00-06:00

From jhsong: The units in this building are incredibly large and very modern. Even the hallways are enormous. I´ve had very few complaints so far (I´ve lived here 6months). Yes, they had a mold problem. I had to relocate to another unit for a week. However, the reimbursed my rent for that ... [click to read full apartment review]

Kennedy Biscuit Lofts: It´s one of the nicest apts in Cambridge (Recommending!)

2003-07-23T00:00:00-06:00

From shira: I´ve lived here for a year and have had no problems. My apartment is very quiet except for the occasional car alarm going off...I rarely hear my neighbors. Everything in my unit was new when I moved in, carpet, paint, appliances. The maintanance people have been pretty good and the ... [click to read full apartment review]

Kennedy Biscuit Lofts: Decent Place, Horrible Service (Not Recommending)

2003-07-16T00:00:00-06:00

From irked_by_kbl: Pros: location, lots of space, pretty new
Cons: expensive, noisy, poor service

This last point deserves elaboration. Just off the top of my head:
1. Took weeks for them to verify our previous residence, eventually requiring a visit in person
2. 2 of our 3 keys didn´t work on the back/side doors. Complained to ... [click to read full apartment review]

Kennedy Biscuit Lofts: Mold in the building! (Not Recommending)

2003-05-21T00:00:00-06:00

From davecortz: The building has mold in the A/C and *all* apartments are affected. Everyone in the building is being temporarily moved so that the problem can be corrected.

There are many low-income apartments in the building, so there are a lot of people you see living there who pay *a lot ... [click to read full apartment review]

Kennedy Biscuit Lofts: noisy, but nice. (Not Recommending)

2003-02-22T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I´ve lived there for a little over 2 years
and I have to agree with most of the
comments I´ve heard.

It´s VERY convenient, being close to the T,
to Star Market, Mass Ave, etc. But it sucks
having a car there, or even asking friends
to come and visit because there isn´t ... [click to read full apartment review]

Kennedy Biscuit Lofts: Convenient but noisy (Not Recommending)

2002-12-11T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Apartments are very, very convenient - close to supermarkets (5 to chose from), the T, clubs and bars, Charles River and Boston. Apartments are large, airy and have been recently painted and recarpeted.

Flip side is the noise - residents playing futbol in the apartment upstairs, a drunk bingo games ... [click to read full apartment review]

Kennedy Biscuit Lofts: Do not recommend (Not Recommending)

2002-10-12T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: As with the fellow below, I have also lived in the building for several years. Rents have gone up so much they have forced most people out of their homes. Don´t expect to live there more than your one year lease because the rent will be significantly increased after your ... [click to read full apartment review]

Kennedy Biscuit Lofts: Ignore the other twit. (Recommending!)

2002-08-23T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Iﾴve lived at KBL for six years. Never had any trouble with the AC. The utility bills come late, but ... this is a problem? And the noise is nothing unusual for living in the city.

Bottom line: the apartments are huge. Maintenance and security are good. The location is fantastic ... [click to read full apartment review]

Kennedy Biscuit Lofts: STAY AWAY!!! (Not Recommending)

2002-07-12T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived in this apartment for over three years. It is a terrible place to live.
If you want peace and quiet, stay away from this place. If you have an apartment facing Green St, you get to hear the numerous buses. If you have an apt facing the court ... [click to read full apartment review]
