Finally a Community !

March 19, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com
I’ve been a resident here for quite some time, and I can confidently say that the new management has made a world of difference. In the past, communication was inconsistent, and issues often took far too long to be resolved. However, since the new team has taken over, there has been a noticeable shift in efficiency, professionalism, and overall care for the community. Maintenance requests are handled much faster, and management is much more responsive and proactive in addressing resident ...
concerns. More importantly, there is now a true sense of community—something that was missing before. Whether it’s through better resident engagement, improved amenities, or just a more welcoming atmosphere, it finally feels like home. I truly appreciate the positive changes and look forward to seeing this place continue to thrive under the new management. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a well-managed and comfortable place to live! Special thanks to Chris and Brian!

I love living at Velo! It’s a lovely community and everyone is so nice, especially Tim and Chris. Chris helped to get me moved in and settled and Tim has continuously helped me with all my questions & requests, received with professionalism & a smile! Thank you to both of them for all that they do (Tim especially!) to make my time here so enjoyable.

Modern apartments with latest appliances and fittings. Refreshing from the old studios you see in Fenway for similar prices. Would definitely recommend. However, all utilities being billed separately is something to account for too.

Great area and amenities. The 24 hour gym and recreation is a huge plus. The leasing office is very helpful and and the connivence of the subway right across the street is very nice. There are many cool trails to walk on near the building

May 14, 2024 - Review from Apartments.com
Here is a list of reasons you should not move in here: 1. High level of street noise from honking cars and sirens non-stop and feeling unsafe in the streets. 2. The buildings are poorly built and finished. Windows are single glass, so noise isolation. The doors inside the apartment are crooked and don't fit in the frames. The walls are thin. It gets super hot inside in the sun. Even when it's 55F outside, we have 80F inside. 3. The appliances are of seriously poor quality. 4. The common areas in ...
the building are not clean. 5. The fire alarm goes off randomly almost every month, often in the middle of the night; false alarm most of the time, but incredibly disruptive. 6. In the past year, we had one stabbing accident on our floor and blood stains still on the hallway carpet. Later, we had a fire down the hall, which resulted in flooding all the floors below ours during the extinguishing process. Many people couldn't return to their homes for days. Afterward, it took almost a month to dehumidify and dry the affected apartments. We had to live with heaters in the hallways during the July heatwave, which skyrocketed our energy bill. 7. No air conditioning is allowed in April and May. We pay for this amenity but can't use it until the management decides it's time to switch from heat to AC. Weeks of being stuck in hot and stuffy apartments, 80-85F all day long, even with windows open, poor night sleep, forced to keep windows open, and exposed to horrendous street noise.

Great Property Management

March 27, 2024 - Review from Apartments.com
I recently had the pleasure of interacting with Candace (Velo Apartment Manager), and I must express my utmost gratitude for the exceptional service/support. From the moment I reached out with question to the resolution of concerns, their responsiveness and helpfulness was amazing. Candace's promptness in addressing any issues was remarkable. Whether it was a maintenance request or a general question about the property, she was always quick to respond, demonstrating a genuine commitment to ...
ensuring residents' satisfaction. Her professionalism and attention to detail were evident in every interaction that we had--digitally and in-person. Candace went above and beyond to ensure that everything was resolved to our satisfaction and her proactive approach and willingness to listen made me feel valued as a resident of Velo. We were very impressed by her willingness to provide guidance and assistance whenever needed and overall I cannot commend Candace enough for her outstanding dedication and exemplary service. So much gratitude to Candace, Jack, and the remarkable maintenance staff (Brian and others!) for consistently going above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. Your hard work and dedication have not gone unnoticed, and you are truly an asset to Velo Forest Hills.

I wish I had the necessary words to describe the level of distain I have for this property and its “management” The property itself is cheap and the units are made of paper. I can hear and see RATS at all hours of the day, they literally tap dance in the walls. Your mail will always get lost or stolen, your good willl always be left outside because there is no system. 90% of the time no one is even at the front desk to let delivery in. Hate is a strong word but I need one 10000% stronger. ...
First place after moving out and if I sat and ripped out every strand of hair I have On my head one by one it would still be less painful then dealing with these people

Absolutely NOT

May 13, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
It's a big surprise to find out that you have no control of your AC here. Thought my AC was broken but i found out that the unit controls the temp, no matter if you keep it running all day the temp will not change. Currently melting in my 80 degree unit. Not sure why i'm paying for AC when i have no control over it. Honestly for an "upscale" apartment community this is unacceptable.

Zero Communication

July 25, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
I have called, emailed, and messaged this management multiple times over the past three weeks, stating that I was willing to apply for a unit after having one simple floor plan question answered. I still haven’t received a reply. If this is how they treat potential willing residents, I wouldn’t bother moving in.
