Every month almost the entire management team would quit. The fire alarm would go off at least twice a week, usually at like 2 or 3 AM. Issues with cockroaches and rats. People would leave trash in the hallways which wouldn't help. They are not timely in repairs. I had sewage building up in the bathtub and it wasn't resolved until about 3 weeks later and even then not really. None of the staff are helpful. They try to sneak in fees at every turn. The water will get shut off with no notice. Sometimes it would take me 30 minutes to just get out of the building because they NEVER HAVE THE ELEVATORS WORKING. There is always an elevator not working, usually 2, meaning that the majority of the time there is only one elevator for 20 floors. DO NOT LIVE HERE, you will regret it.

Not a good experience

The apartments seem to be spacious for what you are paying for and almost every apartment comes with a balcony. However, pests are an issue. During the beginning of the school year, most times getting on the elevator to leave or go up to your apartment can have a 20+ minute waiting time which isn't ideal if you are on the top floors. Repairs can take awhile, I had plumbing issues. There have been at three times in the span of a month where they shut off the water to our building with little to no notice. The location is nice though, close to the E line as well as various schools. It's nice to have a grocery store within walking distance as well as various restaurants.

The management and service have been wonderful, fast, and helpful, but we often have problems- either with pests, neighbors, or with noise. While the price of rent is okay for Boston, it rises every year and will soon be too high for me to renew.

Location is great for school and public transportation, but overall a very expensive place to live in. The area is not that clean either. Also, sometimes it gets noisy during weekend nights. If you like quuiet places to live in, this may not be the best choice.

Nice place near university which is affordable and is at reachable form T stations, bus stops, grocery store and banks.
Affordable, with excellent security.
I love the modern amenities. The best part is that it has a balcony! the view is spectacular. We can see the city view where Prudential can be seen and is just breathtaking in the night.

You can find much better place at same value other than this. The Olympic size swimming pool adds to the place's glamour as well. Luckily, there are no nearby neighbors so we haven't had any issues with noise complaints. Unfortunately, the mansion is not metro-accessible so it's a little hard to get around.

I live in CityView apartments. The apartments are very spacious and well lit. The rent is very high and difficult to afford as students. Parking is expensive. Amenities such as elevator, swimming pool and gym need improvement. Staff is very friendly.
