This apartment community is the best I've ever lived in…read more Not only are the buildings beautiful, modern, and clean. Not only are the grounds kept wonderfully, the pond is beautiful, and the landscape looks like a Christmas card. Not only are the amenities fantastic and beautiful. Not only are the neighbors nice and friendly. Not only is the rent affordable. Not only is the location easy from both 93 and 495... ...but the Lodge at Ames Pond has the best staff I've ever encountered. First make sure to book yourself a showing with Farida (or Greg, I'm sure he's nice too). She is up-front, clear, and a fantastic individual to work with. It's not a sales pitch with Farida, but rather an exploration of what would work best for you and your family. She knows the property inside and out, and loves it just as much as we do. You'll leave with a signed lease, and a smile on your face. Everything is easy, UDR makes renting from a REIT a breeze with their online systems and quick turn around. The maintenance crew keeps the property wonderful, responds to tickets immediately, and keeps all this snow out of the way. There are other places out there, but seriously, stop looking. Come be our newest neighbor!

I really wish I hadn't moved here.

No staff on site after hours. I called the emergency number for a flooded bathroom due to a sink supply line leak - no one responded until days later. - Literally the only non-threatening email we get from management is the once yearly cookout - paid for by Xfinity and not UDR. - They constantly remind you of your liability while accepting no responsibility themselves. And everything is an additional fee... - "Secure" (unsecure) package room? Fee. - Parking? Fee. - Security cameras mentioned in the lease - never show any useful footage of thefts/crimes - Wanna have a cigar outside on your balcony? Can't - total non-smoking property, even outdoors. - Pet rent - people are shocked when they hear how much I pay, they tell me what they pay and it's always an order of magnitude less. - Any utilities included? Are you kidding me, even though, without housing assistance, the cheapest 1 bedroom/1 bath apartment is currently going for $2,525 a month. Look elsewhere. They put on a good show but the veil drops pretty quickly after you move in.

We moved here in December 2022, and we absolutely love living in this community. While there were a…read morefew minor hiccups at the beginning due to external contractors leaving jobs halfway done, the internal management team has always been there to fix things. I completely understand that maintenance takes time because we are a large community, but the team always resolves our issues, and that's what truly matters. More than anything, I feel incredibly safe here. I can walk my dog at any time of the day or night without any worries, which means the world to me. I'm also thrilled with the gym remodeling and the fact that management is implementing clearer rules. Sadly, structure and discipline are exactly what a community needs to keep things organized and respectful. The prices are totally fair for the excellent service we receive. For instance, having a clean, snow-free parking lot before even waking up in the winter is priceless. Having a washer and dryer inside the unit and secure parking are huge plusses too. Lastly, I want to highlight the current manager. She is fantastic. She gets things done with a firm hand, which is exactly what it takes to maintain order. We are truly grateful for her leadership and the hard work of the entire team!

If you have to live in close quarters , I want management to be firm, professional and upfront so that it minimizes neighbor conflicts and/or irritations.

Very easy walk to the commuter rail station so getting to Boston is really easy. Lots of things going on here. Very good place to live.

We hav been living here for 4+ years and absolutely love the place…read more Lets see the pros first.. * good office staff * well maintained property *spacious * quick response to maintenance calls * location- wendys,7 eleven,library,walgreens,burlington coat factory,kmart,market basket etc within close proximity *affordable rent *really good snow ploughing in the winter Now the cons... *there is a weird noise (like metal pipes clanging)when the heat is turned on.But we dont mind it.Its only once in a while. *The real con is the floor.The floors are carpeted except the kitchen.But they are really creaky and thin and you can hear your neighbours upstairs.We live on the 2nd floor and have people living upstairs.We have had all kinds of people living above us..teenagers,couples,family with kids.Yes it can get noisy .You can hear footfalls,kids running,people talking loudly and ehemm ...things happening the bedroom. But we did not have any problem with all the noise...its a part of apartment life...we would just switch on the TV or play music and we could easily mask all the noise. The real issue is when you have you have intolerant neighbours below you.Our life at Parlmont park was awesome from 2011 till 2015 june...thats when our luck ran out and new people moved in below us(We had a lovely elderly couple below us until then).A young couple who just got out of college and started job.they were the worst...intolerant neighbours we ever came across.They are sooo sensitive to sound.Its like they are waiting to hear the slightest creak from us to start banging from below.And its with so much force that the whole apartment shakes when they hit their ceiling .And they make every day of ours hell with their loud banging...There is nothing much the apartment management can do with such tenants.It's about how lucky you are in getting good neighbours. So good luck to anybody who's looking for an apartment here!
