Elliston 23

Love the place

The building is completely quiet (a foot of concrete between every unit means you don’t hear your neighbors). The new management is much less good than the old one though— they impose fines and aren’t helpful at the front desk when you have a problem.

The apartment complex is very nice and has a lot of great amenities (gym, pickleball court, pool, study rooms, coffee machines). It is also very secure and there is staff on site 7 days a week. However, there is a lot of construction going on in the building which can be loud at times, the electricity has been very expensive, they charge a lot of additional fees, and there have been quite a few maintenance problems in my unit.

Nice enough building, responsive maintenance. Management has improved but the building hosts airbnb type rentals and all the money/focus clearly is on those. Renovations are for those rooms and sometimes continue into the evenings which can be distracting.

Good, close to campus, usually quiet.

Overall there is a lot to like about this apartment. Nice staff, ok amenities (pool, smallish but solid gym, coffee machines), generally clean, and very close to Owen (10 min walk). However, management has also made a number of small but inconvenient changes that I dislike (such as switching our fobs which open every door to an application where you have to scroll through an enormous list to find the door you want to unlock, and then offering to sell us fobs). Overall seems like they find lots of ways to nickel and dime you. Parking $100 per month. Mandatory “valet trash” and “package courier” fees. With utilities, my total rent is probably $4-500 higher.

There are some good restaurants close by but if you want to be in the middle of the action the fun bars and stuff are across campus, closer to Owen (still only ~15 min walk from here). I’ll probably move to that area next year but if you want a quieter experience this isn’t a terrible option.

I love living at Elliston. I have two large dogs and they also love it. My apartment is newly renovated and is like brand new, but without the horrible new construction noise . I lived in new construction in Bellevue and could hear EVERYTHING my neighbors were doing. I'm sure they also could hear my dogs. I haven't heard my neighbors here once so 10/10 on the sound here. Sometimes I hear street noise but nothing unreasonable. Overall great gym and really nice pool. They also just put in a pickle ball court so that's cool.

Nice building, nice amenities. Pretty walk through campus to my classes in Peabody. Right next to Centennial Park & lots of restaurants. Building is made of concrete so you never hear any noise. Balconies available. Maintenance always responsive and effective without waiting long at all. Only complaint is the price tag.
