Cambridge Apartments

the front desk people to fix the chipping and flaking in the bathtub, multiple times I was told they had filed for maintenance and multiple times I came back any they said there was never anything filed. Then came the multiple times my heater stopped working during winter, or the times my sink overflowed into the entire kitchen and out into the living room. They cut a hole in my kitchen wall to unclog the drain and that hole is still there now upon moving out despite literally telling the office about the issue. This last week was my final straw as they were replacing the windows in all of the units of which only two days notice was provided. I had to scramble to get everything out of the way while packing to move on top of working full time. When they finally arrived to work I had shut my cats in the bathroom to keep out of the way and I came back to the workers panicking and missed calls from the office because someone had let the cats out of the bathroom (which they denied) and they had nearly gotten out since I live on the first floor. Keep in mind there are no windows in my bathroom and no reason to enter it when completing this work. When I called the office to express my concern they were far more concerned with assuring me there had been "no other complaints" and trying to downplay what had occurred (namely the office manager Dawn). I understand this is a fairly personal review so it may not be relevant to everyone but I don't want other people to come here and have to experience the complete lack of care and greediness of this apartment complex. On a less personal note I also wanted to add that there is never any parking available, and that cars have been broken into multiple times on the property, some even totaled despite management claiming there is security that patrols the premises.

couple weeks later. I called to find what’s next. She said they had to tour my apartment to figure out when my move in date would be so that was still in the air. It took almost a month for me to get a move in date confirmed. They also made me sign my lease prior to my move in date and wouldn’t let me tour my apartment prior to signing the lease. They said that it was because people were still living there. But (as I learned in the lease) they only need to give 24 hours notice to occupants to tour their apartments. Since my deposit was non refundable at that point I was stuck. All of this before I even moved in. Move-in day came. My apartment wasn’t ready. Thankfully I wasn’t moving most of my items for a couple days. But as always I’m given a checklist and the place was a mess. The floor is uneven under the carpet. The cabinets in the kitchen are warped. The bathroom didn’t have a rod in it (for the shower curtain) nor did the coat closet. I tested the tub. It didn’t drain. I turned in my sheet and told them the maintenance issues that weren’t complete. On the day I was actually moving, the tub drain was pulled out and sitting on the counter covered in filth. Still didn’t drain. That got completed after several more days. Issues while living there: if you have rambunctious neighbors above you, you can hear them stomp around to the point it shakes your walls. You can also smell your other neighbors smoking pot in your apt cause the vents are all connected so even though the apts are “non-smoking”, they aren’t. You can try to call the office to file a complaint but they will never call you back. EVER. I have never in my entire relationship with this apartment received a call from them. My original review was too long so TLDR: maintenance is good. office sucks at communicating. The apts are literally falling apart. The pipes are so old you can hear your neighbors showering & flushing. Their rent increase is insane. Parking is a nightmare. And so much more!

during the summer along with an indoor pool at a neighboring complex. Now for the bad; in the last year I've had the license plates stolen off of my car and in the last 50 days my apartment has been broken into twice. Don't bother installing security cameras as the unlocked and completely accessible laundry rooms have master breaker switches labeled for each apartment so a flip of the switch and all your power is turned off including any cameras. I have been on a month to month basis since my original lease was up. I spoke with the manager Teresa (who is professional, courteous and has always done a great job, this isn't her fault it's the property owners) and explained that I had to move as I can't afford to keep paying insurance deductibles and I didn't feel safe or comfortable there. I also don't have any reasonable expectation of security as any security options I installed could be easily disabled. I was informed that I would be required to pay rent for the next 60 days with no exceptions unless they were able to rent it out before my 60 days was up. Not only do I have to pay deposits and rent at a new location, I will continue to have to pay rent at Cambridge. There was no offer to help in any way at all other than I could write a letter that they would send to the property owners asking for them to reconsider. Instead I decided it's better to just write a review so others can see what to expect. If you're looking to move into Cambridge make sure you have renters insurance along with receipts for all of your possessions. I would recommend considering somewhere more updated with better security. Make sure that your main breaker switches are behind a locked maintenance door. The rent amount is not much different from more updated apartments in the general area. I am moving out after 4 years of being a trouble free, paying on time tenant. It's simply not worth the risk of having your personal space violated and possessions you work hard to purchase stolen.

brought me a pair of push button lights that didn't include batteries or the actual screws to install. Not a good solution to a lighting situation which depending on what is stored in your pantry may be needed often. I've been here for a couple months, I mostly like my apartment but these maintenance concerns really have me wondering if I made a bad choice. The area seems decent and quieter than the previous part of town I lived in. Grocery store is really close. A coworker of mine moved in to another building and hasn't had the maintenance issues but says the floor below him has a chirping smoke detector in the stairwell (he can't hear in his apartment), so if you're reading this, it's the luck of the draw. As for me, I pray the smoke detector's battery dies soon.

another for something . The office people are very kind if there is a problem they get right on it never had a problem with anything. we have 2 pools and my grandkids love to come over and swim . I love my kitchen the best I have a huge pantry and a lot of cabinets.
