Going Downhill

December 1, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
It was really nice when we moved in. The decline is happening fast now. People peeing in the elevator and spitting on elevator doors. Dog poop in the hallway, dead roaches on the second floor. They use dirty water to clean the floors and elevators. Building entry doors that should be locked aren’t. Package theft from people letting just anyone in. They turned the water pressure down, maintenance staff is a joke. It LOOKS nice, until you move in.

Absolutely love

February 6, 2019 - Review from Apartments.com
I love being a tenant here at Meriden Commons. I appreciate the staff and the maintenance as well. I am so glad I decided to move here. I will be here for a while! Nicole and Cynthia are awesome! -EE

Amazing experience ! Hard work pays off !

August 21, 2018 - Review from Apartments.com
I couldn't be more thankful to have Nicole as a property manager. Whenever I was unsure of a situation I would reach out to her and she would call me when she was available to help clarify what needed to be done and by when. I had a short timeline to work with but Nicole really helped me get everything done on time. Things seemed unorganized and a bit confusing at times but as long as I verbally addressed my concerns to Nicole, she would help me get through any issues. I completely understand why ...
things seemed hectic. For one I had one month to move out of my old place and hope I could move into these apartments. Nicole must have been working with tons of people at the same time and it is a new complex. I appreciate the hard work she put in and how comfortable she made me feel. As long as you are persistent and verbal about your concerns, everything should go smoothly. I've honestly had an amazing experience. - AF
