Landmark Apartments

the time we have lived here. The development is set at the top of a hill, surrounded on three sides by woods, and the grounds are beautifully kept. We have a lovely view out our living room window during every season, and the location offers a scenic overlook into Newington. It is so quiet and serene, especially at night, that it is easy to forget you are just a mile from the busy Berlin Turnpike. There are assigned parking spots, in-building storage and laundry facilities, and a beautiful in-ground pool and community center. Between the peaceful, wooded living area, and the proximity to everything you could ever need on the Berlin Turnpike, it really is the best of both worlds! We have no complaints, and truly enjoy living here!

and chaises and even a few tables with umbrellas. There is a "pool house" with public bathrooms. The management office is actually in a different apartment community about a mile away. The management staff is pleasant and attentive. The maintenance staff is responsive to calls from tenants and can always be seen around the property "keeping up the place." The apartments themselves are nice sized and have appliances purchased within the last decade (decent but not brand new or top of the line). Noise from neighbors is generally low unless you have an upstairs neighbor with "heavy feet." Now, some negatives. The buildings are all starting to show their age. It would be nice if they updated the carpets, lighting and paint in the hallways. Although there is a laundry room in every building, there is only two small washers and two dryers in each of those laundry rooms. And if my buildings laundry room is a typical example, the machines are getting old and break down often. The exercise machines in the "gym" area are also older and starting to look a little run down. All in all, from my experience since moving to CT, Landmark is one of the better apartment properties in central CT region.

escape to live at. Now saying all of that, like everywhere else there are downsides. The office staff is completely all over the place. Sometimes rude, sometimes just confused, not really organized. There are basically two people in the family that runs the complex that are functional and reasonable to work with. Also I truly believe that the rent is so decent for the spot that they get some annoying tenants there as well. Some tenants are incredibly silent so they might complain at any noise--others are incredibly loud and party until 2-3am. Its really a grab bag for where you will end up and who you are around. I will say if you don't mind noise and are likely to have people over a lot, the fronts tend to be louder; the backs near woods and mountain side or eerily (not necessarily bad) quiet. It's tricky. They have multiple complexes and buildings, all very different, and the people are the only real surprises. There were times when it was beyond gorgeous living there. Times where it was utterly quiet and felt like living tucked away from the world. Times where people were partying late, shooting fireworks over the parking lot, or yelling at each other/other tenants. Physically speaking, it is a really nice complex.
