Read carefully / thoroughly if you are considering renting at 14 North. I have lived here for 2.5 years years and am moving out as soon as my new construction home is complete. It's been an absolute nightmare of drug activity, disruptions, harassment, & placating. The 14 North attorneys are rude, ignorant of the law, and demeaning. Every bit of information here is in the public record and 100% true and verifiable. 14 North's knowledge of, and blatant refusal to take action has required I involve the Peabody Dept of Health, and Attorney General. They blatantly refuse to enforce the lease, or evict KNOWN / IDENTIFIED drug users living in my building. Evidence is unbiased and does not lie, their violation of my rights & breach of my lease are well documented over a year and a half of email and screen shots that I will make readily available to anyone who would like to see it. Email me at Pilotguy72@aol.com. 14 North has turned into a drug filled ghetto where no one follows the rules, drugs / deals are done in the parking lots & buildings, & no one has consideration for anyone here - at all. Residents here will slam their doors, blast their music, beep their horns 15 times at 5am & dogs bark at ALL hours of the day / night and there is feces everywhere. Management engages in subjective lease enforcement, if at all - their idea of lease enforcement is initially placating you with an email, then just ignoring you altogether when you ask why the behavior is continuing. 14 North would rather have Section 8 tenants who pay little rent and get state subsidies than honest well to do tenants who can afford this place. They would much rather have tenants receiving subsidies who don't complain & tolerate the conditions here rather than those who can pay on their own & will demand lease enforcement and answers when ignored by management. They will placate you and nothing gets done. If you persist and question what action is being taken you will simply be ignored - ignored period. You are then directed to contact their attorney. It's truly pathetic how they handle things here. I have been dealing with drug activity for a year and a half. My apt smells heavily of marijuana smoke ( and likely other drugs based on what I have seen in the parking lots here ) several times a week ( to the point I have to leave - marijuana / any drug use is strictly prohibited on the ENTIRE property as they are under HUD guidelines ). Management knew who the tenants were for a year and refused to summarily evict them - they simply let them move out. I only renewed because the head office clerk lied to me and said the attornies were fixing the problem - FLAT OUT LIED - I have ALL the emails from her. They now have the laughable gall to send me a non-renewal notice ( yet they refused to evict REPEAT / KNOWN drug users - they refused to even answer additional emails as the drug use continued & affected my apt. ). Keep in mind I have NEVER been late on my rent once, nor violated any term of my lease. I have only questioned and pressed that the lease be enforced and those engaging in dangerous and unsafe activity on the premises be held accountable. They knowingly allow the compromise of tenant safety / comfort. The drug users / dealers physically harassed me. ( I filed a report with the Peabody Police Dept & informed the head office clerk ( "manger" ) at 14 north and, per usual procedure nothing was done to these individuals ). They did drugs outside my window, and in their apt to the point I did not feel safe here. I refuse to bring my girlfriends' two little girls into this environment. It is unsafe, dangerous, and not someplace where children can live or play freely. Watch out for the pitbulls - management doesn't care about that either. I've seen one nip a little girl and she started crying, absolutely awful. The arrogance and incompetence with which they manage this property is utterly shocking. DO NOT rent here for ANY reason, certainly do not bring children here - you will regret it instantly. Feel free to contact me with any further questions - so much more to include. I don't want anyone else to have to deal with the nightmare of dealing with these people that I have. read more

I have lived at 14 North now for 4 months. I want to say thank you to Irmarie who works in the front office. Without her my move would have been so stressful. She was there for me every step of the way. She explained everything and was very helpful.... she is 1 of the reasons I am giving 14 North 5 stars. She is very caring, kind hearted and compassionate. If I could give her a score out of 1-10 she would get a 20. She is very professional. You can go to her with any issue or concern and 9 times out of 10 it is resolved in under an hour. She is never to busy for the residents from what I have seen and experienced. She is one of 14 Norths best assets. Ppl like Irmarie are hard to come by. I have never had such a wonderful experience with someone who works in the office of such a large community. She always has a smile on her face. Anytime I have needed to speak with her she has always been available. She made me feel so comfortable from the first day when I applied to live here. I personally feel that she goes above and beyond her duties. Also she makes the community very comfortable to live in. I am very happy to be able to continue to work with her throughout my tenancy. She is a remarkable woman and is always very pleasant to be around. There is so much more I could say... But to sum it up Irmarie is a 20 and 1 of the nicest ppl I have ever met. I am honored to be able to continue to work with her throughout my tenancy. read more

This place seems glamorous but after a couple days you will begin counting down until your lease is up. We have neighbors continuously banging on their ceiling when I walk across my living room because I am "too loud". On top of that numerous restricted breed dogs live in this complex and one large pit bull who has had NUMEROUS complaints attacked my dog, attacked a different neighbors dog, and despite all these issues still manages to live here. I feel extremely threatened living here and fear for my own safety and despite telling that to the "management team" they do nothing about it. instead they mumble off some bullshit law about how i'm tied to my lease and there is nothing they can do to help me. I would move out tomorrow If they allowed me to, but instead I am stuck here for 8 more hellish months unless I come up with nearly $4,000 to "break my lease". DO NOT RENT FROM ANY UDR APARTMENT I will be telling everyone and anyone I see getting a tour to avoid this place! I have lived in numerous complexes in different states and have NEVER had to deal with a situation like this. Trust me when I say living here will be the biggest regret of your life! On top of all this these are smoking apartments and do not tell you that when you are signing the lease. Don't be surprised if your neighbors are smoking in the buildings! read more

DO NOT MOVE HERE! The staff that work here are liars and thieves. The neighborhood is unsafe and not a place for anyone with children to live. The tenants sell drugs out of their homes. If you bring your children to the park old men with no children will sit there and watch your children playing. I should not feel uncomfortable in my own home. I doubt the staff do thorough background checks on the people who live here. While I was pregnant my apartment was broken into twice within weeks of each other and when I reported it to staff I got attitude and the response what do you want us to do about it. A man in a hoodie was outside my back door trying to break down my door. The man ran off when I got a weapon and told him I was calling the police. I contacted the police several times and there was nothing they could do about it. The staff were more concerned about the rules regarding breaking your lease then my family's safety. If you report an issue expect to be retaliated against and sent an eviction notice the next day. Be prepared to hear the tenants fighting and yelling with each other and the police are called for domestic disputes all the time. On top of that you are charged for every little thing from receiving mail and packages to parking. You are basically paying for an "upscale ghetto". read more

Low income housing covered up by ridiculous pricing. Awful place... At first it was all great until you realize how unfair and filthy the place really is. They are completely unfair with their pricing- I was paying 1,900 for a ONE BEDROOM meanwhile the people next to me with the same square footage etc were paying closer to 1,500. I'm disgusted with them and their attitudes. The amount of section 8 is unreal- a bunch of people who take complete advantage. They flood the basketball court (not that I ever used it) but friends will sneak in, kids will scream at the top of their lungs. It's more like low income housing if you ask me. Everyone I have spoken to lately is either leaving or breaking lease to leave. There is absolutely no security- Kids will be yelling outside at 2am, outsiders with shopping carts full of trash from the trailer park up the road will overflow the dumpster, there is dog crap everywhere. I don't even bother to complain anymore because nothing is ever done- As long as the rent comes in they don't care. If you're three days late they will send you an eviction notice! Just don't move here- Save yourself the money and headache. read more

Our experience as tenants of 14 North - UDR for four (4) years has been one of life's great transition's for us having lived over fifty years in single residences. My wife having taught for her entire working career absolutely didn't want to live in a homogeneous community of elders but it had to be handicapped accessible which we found available at 14 North. Our home on Cape Ann was over seven (7) feet off the ground. This community has a great location and accessible to a great public school system and some of the best rated private schools from K -12; plus private and public colleges and universities including world renowned in Boston that are within minutes 20-40 to drive and public transportation available in neighboring communities. It is not a new facility but the staff is responsive to your needs and most congenial and understanding. read more

I love living here! I moved here in 2008 and Donna (she works in the office) was so kind and helpful, the rest of the staff is friendly as well. Chris who works at the concierge desk always offer assistance as well. I live in the main building and sometimes when I come home their is a group of residents chatting and they are so nice. I love the fact that I can put a service request in online and when I come home the issue is usually resolved. I understand sometimes it take a few days, (if there are bigger issues elsewhere in the property, but it is always done in a timely manner) Recently, my washer was not working and I put a request in online I came home to a new washing machine! The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. I have lived here 7 plus years and have had nothing but a positive experience. read more

I just want to say that the 2 people I had to work with at 14 North were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond for my family and I to be able to get moved into the complex. I couldn't be more grateful for 2 people in my whole life. Irmarie who had only met me once and Bailey who has never met me at all advocated and stepped up for me better than people I have known my whole life to help me and my family get into a better situation. These 2 always listened to what I had to say and if they didn't have the answer they always found the answer and got back to me right away. Coming from my situation you definitely want to have Irmarie and Bailey in your corner these 2 actually care so much! I am excited to finally be home thanks to them! read more

Now the are responding only with an automated message?? 6 days we had to leave the apartment. 20 days it way open to the outside during the coldest time of the winter (with 2 children under 3 years old) and haven't don't anything with the rent, clearly needs to be discounted. Then has the spine to send a late notice with a $400 late fee. Let's just see what the judge has to say about this!! Absolutely the worst business in this country, the worst part look online profited 375 million dollars but doing this can't even correct their product failures, meanwhile offering NEW TENANTS FIRST MONTH FREE!!?!?!? Never in 23 years of renting apartments have I seen such disgusting business practices read more

Irmarie is amazing! She will go above and beyond for you, no matter what the problem is. I couldn't have made the transfer I did without her. She was helpful every step of the way. I am so grateful to her and everything she did for me throughout my transfer. It's great knowing that I can go to her with any concern or issues that I may be having and she will resolve it promptly. She is respectful, kind-hearted, and very understanding. She is quick to respond to text or email and if she doesn't know the answer to something you ask she will find it, she never gives you the run around. She always finds the time to help you and never complains. read more

Extremely happy with the choice I made to move here. I've been here a few months and have had zero issues. Management and everyone in the leasing department are super pleasant to work with and are very helpful. The complex is clean and well maintained, and the service staff is timely and professional. I have two dogs that moved with me and it's a great place for them, I'd say half the residents have dogs and it's been nothing but social hour for them every time we go out! Long story short, 14 North has been a great place to call home. A big thank you to Andrew and Donna in the leasing office for making this such an easy experience! read more

I have been living here for 16 years now and this complex has been outstanding for me. The staff go out of their way to help in any way possible with each tenant. The maintenance crew and the mgr of them are out of this world they know how to fix and repair anything! Very proud to say I pray to have many more years as a tenant!!! Future residents come one come all! The staff would love to meet you and will make you feel right at home! Kudos to everyone that works for 14 north! P.s this complex is in the heart of everything one needs wether it be malls there are 2 or shopping or food shopping. Many choices to choose from!!!! read more

Truly just a crap place to live. No need to reinvent the wheel, when everyone has already said everything there is to be said. Just...DON'T RENT HERE. It's garbage, full of garbage people who let their dogs poop everywhere and steal packages. I was hiking on the rail train once, and a women from the trailer park told me that people keep breaking in over there, and they all blame the residents at 14 North. Read that again--the people from the TRAILER PARK have problems with the people from 14 NORTH. And I am certain they're not wrong. This place is awful. read more

please have your attorney review your lease , I own property ,and im very fair with my tenants .these people, are tent city really sleazy business practices and when its time to leave it get really rough they gauge you from cleaning to this to that, if you want to live in a section 8 community come to 14 north project living. maintenance sucks you to make 3 calls to get something fixed and then they screw it up from runny toilets to bad disposals to deck roofs coming down , all documented, dog shit everywhere ,please do yourself a favor stay away from here read more

My short time living here has been such a delight. It is a great community to live in. The manager, Irmarie at this complex is awesome! She is very attentative to the tenants. She always make sure that the needs are met and take priority for the tenants 1st. She is always friendly, no matter what, which is very important. Glad to be a part of this complex. Thanks, Michelle M. read more

We have been in 14 North for 4 years and this community feels like home. I had to downsize now that the kids are gone, but Irmarie find a new apartment for me in the first floor. The new paint and floors look good. The pool has been great and the lifeguards are very friendly and professionals. I highly suggest this community and the manager is excellent! read more

I very much like living here at 14 North. It is a very convenient location. The staff is very friendly and efficient. Recently I changed apartments due to my age and need to downsize. Irmarie made the transition very easy. I have had several requests for maintenance in my new apartment and both times the issues were taken care of quickly. read more

Good morning I have resided at 14 North for a few years now and I appreciate the fact that I reside here. I have NO issues with the staff, they are courteous and very helpful. Also, the maintenance staff is small, but, they do superb job. Kudos especially for Arthur who has been taking care of all of my maintenance needs. read more

Don't fill out an application here!! If you get denied they will take your $250 "first month deposit fee" and not return it for 30 days!!! If they even do!! Ridiculous!! Also the way that they do business here is very sketchy. They don't help you at their office and this complex is way over priced for what you get. read more
