City close, country quiet
July 20, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com
From May 2021 to May 2025, I shared a 2 bed 2 bathroom unit on the fourth floor of Plantation Towers with one roommate for 4 years. I don’t think I could’ve found a better place to live for a similar price while attending grad school in the area. All kitchen appliances worked great, management had installed brand new carpets and cabinets just before I moved in, and the space was large. Each bedroom had a walk-in closet as well as sliding glass doors that opened up to their respective balconies. ...
The kitchen had plenty of cabinets, as well as a small closet and a decent sized pantry.
Management covers most utilities with the exception of electricity and internet. Heat in the winter didn’t run up any of my bills as it was centralized. A/C in the summer consisted of an electric unit in each bedroom and the living room. I found that most nights, I could simply put a box fan in front of my open balcony door and not need to run the A/C. Our highest electricity bills in the last two years were each in the previous two August months and both didn’t break $90. Throughout the rest of the year, electricity typically hovered around $50-60.
The amenities were satisfactory. The pool was reopened after COVID the second summer I lived here, but the hours were the only thing I would complain about. I believe the pool was open 10am - 6:30pm most days in the summer, which made it difficult for anyone working a 9-5 job to take advantage of during the week, but it was nice on a weekend or for a few minutes after work. The gym downstairs was small but decent. Laundry was easy as they have plenty of machines for everyone to use. Tennis court was okay, but is in desperate need of some resurfacing. I never had any issues parking my own vehicle as they have plenty of spaces for all residents, nor did I have any issues with my guests parking their vehicles in the designated guest spaces. There were lots of very nice walking/hiking trails in the woods by the building, thanks to Worcester’s East-West trail passing through there. Could easily walk to Green Hill park.
Management was always great. They’d fix any problem I had within a day or two, and they were always extremely professional and friendly. Their efforts to maintain the building as well as a respectful community certainly did not go unnoticed.
Overall, I give my experience at Plantation Towers 5 stars; would definitely live there again if needed. I always recommend it to any friends looking to live the area
