Commonwealth Crossing Apartamentos

was randomly missing two window panes when I moved in. The walls are T H I N. I could hear everything from my neighbors, and I'm sure they could hear me. Management did nothing about loud music in the buildings. I once complained to them about my downstairs neighbor playing loud music and yelling in the middle of the night, and they told me to call the police. There was a fruit fly infestation in the building. I heard from another tenant that there's a mouse infestation in another. Once every couple weeks to once a month, SOMETHING got shut off for a day or three. Water, heat, gas. Water damage! I had three different leaks over three months. The first one wasn't terrible, the second one was quite bad, and the third one COLLAPSED MY BATHROOM CEILING. I tried to end my lease early after that one, but was told (aggressively) that there was no structural issue, no mold (despite being able to clearly see and smell it), and that I would have to pay two months rent and give 60 day notice to leave early. They then "fixed" it by painting over it and patching the ceiling. The maintenance guys are really nice and quite responsive, but they continually told me things were fixed when they clearly weren't. Management doesn't actually resolve any problems, and get aggressive and rude when you push for a resolution. They will NOT let you out of your lease for any reason. They WILL make you take them to court if it comes to that. After all of this, when they gave me my option to renew the lease, they tried to increase my rent by 15%. I'm generally pretty low maintenance when it comes to my living space. I could deal with the noise, the flies, the neighbors, the rude management, the service shutoffs. But when my ceiling collapsed and management got aggressive with me and refused to let me out of my lease, I just about lost it. This place isn't worth the moldy planks holding my ceiling together.

b/c someone below is consuming the pressure. So a few annoyances, but you get used to them quickly and it's minor stuff. Management is super responsive and kind. Clean, affordable, simple, and great location.
