  • A very good place to live.

    February 22, 2019
    We have been living in this apartment for 2 year now. We just moved to a new unit in the same building. We love this place, its spacious, safe, close to everything and reasonable. Lui, the maintenance guy lives in the building. He will solve all maintenance issue the same day and will go out of way to help you with anything you need. We will highly recommend this place.

  • Great place to live!

    June 6, 2018
    My 1st lease renewal is up this July and I will definetely be signing up again, the building is kept clean, quiet & truly is a great place to call home. The primary reason for my renewal is the maintenance tech Luisito, since day 1 he has been extremely helpful, attentive, kind, quick to respond and a joy to have as a neighbor. It will be a pleasure to renew leases as long as he is around.

  • Great Apartment

    March 5, 2018
    I have lived in 5 different apartment complexes over my lifetime. Chestnut Hill is by far the best managed. The property manager Joanna will resolve any issues immediately and the maintenance in our apartment is extremely fast and reliable. It is very quiet and a great place to live. Rent is well priced for the size and renovations.

  • Move here 11 years ago after living throughout the U.S.

    March 3, 2018
    Chestnut Hill East, second bldg. (4 Skiff St.) has been my home for eleven years, perhaps the longest tine I have lived anywhere. The reason I moved in after a five year search (I moved in when the bldg opened for rent) was its structure. It's concrete and steel for the most part. As one of the first tenants I had my choice of parking space inside the garage. The reason I have remained is management. This includes first rate maintenance. Management here is and has been these past 11 years, ...
    intelligent, responsive, friendly and reliable. As a writer-filmmaker I have lived everywhere from Boston to San Francisco and in-between and this apartment residence is and has been at the top of my list.
    • Property Manager Responded

      March 7, 2018
      Thank you for your review! As one of our first residents at 4 Skiff Street, we are happy you decided to take a chance on living in a new building. It is a huge honor to see that we are top notch, even against apartments in Boston and San Francisco. We call 4 Skiff Street our bunker because of its concrete and steel construction. It is truly a quiet and peaceful community. Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We hope you decide to live with us for another 11 years! -Lauren Tagliatela, Chief Community Officer

  • I love it here!

    December 21, 2016
    I agree with "Nice apartment" review and couldn't say it any better. I've been here since April 2016 and I love it. I have a small one bedroom at 2 Skiff which is very nice and comfortable for a single person. The maintenance person, Louie, is extremely helpful, quick to respond to any issues that may come up and super pleasant. And the office staff are quick to answer any questions I ask as well.

  • great apartment

    August 1, 2015
    Nice quiet building, spacious apartment and an additional storage space if you need it. Apt comes with basic cable and is energy efficient, which helps in the winter. I have been here a few years and have only turned on the heat a few times b/c the apt stays warm even in the cold. in the summer you will use the AC tho. Very quiet building and location is convenient to shopping/grocery stores. Also, have a few decent places that deliver.
