Resident 2005 - 2012

2/16/2013

I lived in MVE for 7 years while in grad school. Some thoughts: GENERAL: The apartment was spacious and functional, and the buildings and grounds were relatively well-maintained. A couple of summers I had a plot in the residents' gardening area, which was nice. The residents seem to be a mix of students and families. It seemed a bit pricey, but in better shape than most other complexes in the area. NOISE: It was mostly quiet, but it varied from year-to-year, which suggests it mainly depends on your neighbors; some years we had noisy partiers across the hall or in the apartment below, but not all the time. Being somewhat further from UMass, there was never an issue with roving herds of ugrads (unlike some places near campus). STAFF: I had mixed success in interacting with the maintenance and office staff. I felt some of my maintenance issues were not adequately addressed. However, the office was very fair in refunding our security deposit when we moved out. LOCATION: I loved the location. It abuts a golf course, so there is virtually no noise from traffic or anything like that, and across East Hadley Rd is a quiet neighborhood that is a nice place to go for a walk or jog. It's not in a very good location if you don't have a car, but if you do, both Hadley shopping centers and Amherst Center are only about a five minute drive away. Amherst and the rail trail are easily bike-able distances (both uphill from MVE though :) ). It's on a bus route, although the walk out to the bus stop is a good 8-10 minutes because the complex is set back a bit from the main road. Overall, I was satisfied with MVE. It wasn't perfect, but on balance my experience was positive.
