We moved to 650 in July of 2017 when the building was brand new and operated under Lincoln. The…read morefront office staff were always very pleasant and helpful. The location you can't beat. Right on Revere Beach and a 5min walk to the blue line. New restaurants have been starting to pop up which is great. The cleaning/maintenance staff are always very pleasant and do a great job. However, we have experienced plenty of issues with this place which includes Greystar (the new mgmt company) in general. 1. In the summer of 2018, the entire 3rd floor flooded (which we lived on). I'm talking water spewing from vents and walls and there were puddles in our closet and our friend's apartment down the hall. This didn't just happen once, this happened EVERY single time there was heavy rain. It is now 2020 and I am pretty sure this still happens in some apartments! These new buildings are being built so fast and so cheap, they cut corners and this is what happens. We had no other option but to move upstairs from our 2bed/2bath to a 1 bed/1bath. 2. The grills are total trash. There are 3 grills with multiple burners but it takes about 20mins to even get 1 burner to work. 3. They don't sign for packages. This has been a HUGE issue for important packages arriving here. You basically need to be home and waiting in the lobby 24/7 if you are expecting an important package that needs a signature. 4. It is impossible to get ahold of anyone in the front office. When you call their main number, it takes you to the Greystar calling center. They take your message and say someone from the office will get back to you. WELL, they never get back to you. Ever. You end up running downstairs to the glass door they won't open due to COVID, yelling through the glass & your mask to the front desk lady, and then hearing that a manager isn't around until Friday to help. You try emailing the manager and assistant manager and very rarely receive a response and if you do, it's a week late.

Greystar is rated 1.2 and Ocean 650 is absolute trash.. If you value your money and time, read…read morethis review and contemplate your options before you make a deal with these hacks. Everyone I've spoken to has the same exact thing to say: ever since Greystar took over, the building is worse than it was. Constant fire alarms at 4 in the morning. This has happened every 2 months since we moved in. When we moved in, the apartment was advertised with a balcony on the website. The one they showed me had a Juliet door. I'm pretty sure the layouts on your website should match the actual apartment we're looking at, but the individual who showed said "We just do that here." Okay... That doesn't exactly give me a great amount of trust in this organization's ability to cohesively run a building. The amenities are NEVER open because there's always some sort of issue or construction. The pools were closed for basically the whole season. The building was also advertised as dog friendly and that it included a dog park. That was a lie. Construction has been heavy since we moved in and I counted 47 nails IN ONE SITTING where the dog "alley" is set up now. My girlfriend and I went to a funeral and stuck a note on the door stating the dogs don't know how to be without us completely yet and that they are in training and may bark while we are out grieving with our family. Whoever was on that day decided to send us a notice without even coming to check the door. WHAT A JOKE. Bailey Goulding, the property manager, told us that they put $2 Million into the building. WHERE!? The repairs you've done on the building ALL SUMMER of 2021 was to remove dry rot from apartments that kept flooding, as confirmed by one of the handicapped tenants who has informed me that they have had to be relocated out of their apartment for about 3 months now because it keeps flooding, but they want you to believe it's fixed. Bailey also was very eager to point at Revere as to why I found a homeless encampment with feminine hygiene products and needles directly behind our building. I could see it from where I park my car, but I didn't need to considering my dog STEPPED ON A NEEDLE. Thank goodness it was capped. "Oh well you know how Revere is.." was the response. This is a luxury apartment. Hire a damn security guard to scare away the dope fiends. The fact that they don't screams that they only care about their bottom line and not the wellbeing of their tenants, an issue I'll go more into soon. Maintenance has been here once a month. Bailey's excuse is that it's a 5 year-old building. You're joking, right? My car has lasted longer. First it was a sensor on a microwave, then it was the thermostat's power cable disconnected in the middle of the night. No biggie, maintenance came to fix it. The problem is it happened 3 more times after the fact. I gave up on calling maintenance and only put in a call when it started getting cold again, because I'm just that fed up having to deal with this joke of a team. So far they've visited for the microwave, tiles in the bathroom that were cracked when we MOVED IN, the thermostat multiple times, and the trash compactor 3 times. We've lived here since February and there hasn't been a month where maintenance hasn't visited. The pandemic hit us just as hard as anyone and I lost my job. The complex assured us that as long as we pay down our rent we will be fine. I now have a new job 2 months later and have made payments totaling over $2000 in the past 2 weeks, and we just received a Notice to Quit after being assured we would be accommodated in these rough times. This seems like a dream apartment. Well it's a dream alright, a FEVER DREAM you want to wake up from daily. I regret not breaking lease when I had the chance. They will probably end up responding to this with a copy/paste response which makes plenty of sense. They simply don't care about anything but money. Fun fact: Microwave broke again as I was writing this, as if by some divine intervention I just needed more proof and pictures..
