The Drake Apartments

this place!

of their conversations. Also, because the flooring is adhered directly to the concrete the laminate bubbles. It looks amazing, but it's REALLY poorly built.

next to the club...they have some guys there yelling and dragging carts across their parking lot at 7 am on weekends for your convenience). You can go across the street with your dogs, a green area filled with trash though. It's also hard to find places with a garage, so that's good (even if it's a shared covered parking really). Some issues experienced: the covered parking is open and residents had some problems so now there are surveillance cameras; the bird machine is annoying as you can hear it at night even from your apartment. The parking spots are tiny. People scratched and dented their cars to get in and out. It's a new community and we were having issues with package deliveries because there is no leasing office on site. It seems resolved with most carriers. Management people are available via email or phone, but poor customer service in dealing with tenants. If you need something fixed, prepare to wait a couple of days just to schedule the appointment and then see when they're available (no on-site staff), but at least the maintenance guy is nice. There are fundamental problems with the electric system in the apartments. Also no club house. Sometimes you can hear your neighbors, not too bad, maybe it depends on the apartment...and your neighbors! BUT you can hear what goes on outside: trafficked street on the front and Portuguese club on the back. It is close to the MBTA commuter rail station ($263/month if you commute) and so you hear the trains (from about 5am to 11pm). Easy to commute if you drive. Overall, the noise issue can be very annoying, but you are downtown (still, it's just Stoughton). So, I would not recommend this place because of the price...however I feel rent prices are inflated all over the Greater Boston area, the issues explained above, and poor management. We'll see at time of renewal how bad it gets.
