I'm happy I chose The Kendrick as my new home in Needham. I appreciated having several layouts to…read morechoose from within my price point, and the modern finishes in the apartment are a nice touch. The building has great amenities--gym, beautiful lobby, art collection, package room, and an on-staff concierge who's always helpful with packages and information. There are more amenities than I'll personally use, but it's great to have them on site. Terry in management was professional, responsive, and made the rental process smooth. My apartment shows some expected wear from a previous tenant, but overall I'm very happy to be here.

I've been living at the Kendrick now for a little over 18 months and I just renewed again. All i…read morecan say is WOW. This place is by far the best complex I've lived at! Every part of the building is always clean, the communial areas are spacious and add an extra level of comfort when I'm looking to unwind after a long work day. The pool, rooftop deck, and main courtyard all have multiple grills. My family and friends are obsessed and have all shared positive thoughts about the building. But by far, the leasing team go above and beyond in their service. Andres and the team are always professional and are understanding of any questions or concerns. If I could give this place 100 stars I would!

I really want to give a minus point if it's possible. The only trick their managers could do is…read moreignore former renter's reasonable request, so I have nothing to hide anymore. One more thing I need to remind you guys is that the 5 stars reviews are published by the pressure of managers by 50 bucks so be careful. Actually my move-in date should be August 15th last year and the real move-in date is September 23rd. That was a miserable time,we take our luggages from place to place searching for short rents because of the 5 times of delay.That really sucks. After I moved in,things are getting a little bit better.The apartments are new and the facilities are okay.But we didn't get our compensation after several hard meetings with the manager which should be all set already but ignored by the managers. The price is going higher and higher and it's totally not worthy to live there. There are tons of apartments which are better than this. This apartment just trick new coming international students and trust me, I've lived there. What's more, good services cannot be the reason to ignore people after they moved out. They didn't return my security deposit after I moved out, even don't return my emails so be careful of the irresponsible managers. After been here for this long, choosing Residence@MaldenCenter is the worst decision I've made because I not only met awful managers but also suffered from serious arrogant and naive&disgusting roommates. I'll never made that mistake ever again. If I can't get my security deposit back, I think it's my obligation to let everyone around here to know, be careful about this apartment. Some things are not what they seem to be.

The apartment and services are great so far. Since it was a new bulding, the parking space wasn't…read more100% satisfactory. When I moved in early July 2018, I was told that the garage I've already paid for was still under construction. I waited for two months parking in the public garage across the street. In September, the garage was finished and I was assigned a parking space which can barely park my car in. I talked to the leasing office and they said they would let me switch when another spot becomes available.

I rarely write negative reviews, but my experience with Charles River Landing deserves one…read more After providing documentation and going through the leasing process, I was under the impression that my move-in process was proceeding normally. I appeared at the property for a scheduled move-in orientation at 10:00 AM and was told, only after I arrived, that my application had not been approved and that the orientation had been canceled. No one notified me before the appointment. The issue is not that additional review was required. The issue is that the property allowed me to show up for an orientation that could not take place and failed to communicate that fact in advance. As a professional and business owner, I value clear communication and respect for people's time. Unfortunately, I experienced neither. Based on my experience, prospective residents should make sure they have written confirmation of final approval before rearranging their schedules or making plans based on information provided by the leasing office.

Charles River Landing has been my home for the past 5 years. The property itself…read moreis beautiful and well maintained. The hallways are immaculate with the look and feel of a luxury hotel. All interactions that I have had with the buildings management staff has been pleasant, professional and accommodating. On the rare occasion I need a service call, it is answered promptly by experienced personal who resolve the matter quickly and efficiently. As a mom I know how difficult it can be finding lead free and dog friendly apartments in this area. CRL is the answer for families with pets as well as many working professionals because of its prime location. There is a trail a few steps from here perfect for dog walking or just to relax. Hope to see many new friends at the pool next summer.

We moved in from out of state as we needed to live out of boxes on a temporary lease while we were…read morehouse hunting. We got here less than a week before before the COVID shut downs so we didn't get to use the amenities like the pool, gym, BBQ area but it all looked nice. While the apartments are nice, I would say the construction of the cabinetry or the appliances aren't quite the best quality, it all looks nice and it all works which is the most important thing. I've lived in apartment complexes before and some of them bank on hitting you for fees especially at move-in and move-out. This is not the case. The staff from the maintenance people to the management are attentive and actually care. A case in point: we had a cat which is $50/month pet me. He was an old man and got sick. We had to put him to rest. We had already paid our rent and they had no problem crediting back the monthly pet fee and adjusting the rate. There is a package locker here but most of the time the Amazon workers don't care and dump the packages in the lobby of the building you're in. No amount of correspondence from the management here could ever possibly rectify that because the people delivering the packages don't get paid enough to care. As a result, some packages end up in weird places. On a couple occasions someone from the staff had actually brought over some things outside our door, which was much appreciated especially during the height of the COVID outbreak when we were limiting our entrance and exit through common areas. The one time I had to file a noise complaint it was handled immediately. This is the place where you're walking around and the maintenance staff will ask you how you're doing. Stop and ask to see if everything is all good and make sure nothing doesn't need to be fixed. We moved out because we found our perfect home. We didn't hold our breath thinking they could re-lease the unit but we were able to get off the last month and one week of rent owed because someone leased the unit we vacated. We had no issue getting the deposit back - minus the replacement cost for the blinds our toddler broke. We really liked the short distance to the ALDI and Stop And Shop and other places. Would've loved to have been able to frequent the bar up the road, it was just opening up its outdoor space by the time we moved. A+ no regrets. Thanks Todd, Craig, and everyone else.

Long and thorough review alert!…read more About Me (what type of renter am I): With my job I relocate every 3 months and for the past ~2 years I've had no desire to stay at the same place for longer than 3 months. The key things I look for in an apt is safe, clean, affordable (can you even say this in MA lol), free parking, and my own bathroom (typically live with roommates). Wellington Place: I moved here Mar 2020, to take over someone's lease that lost their job. It fit the bill of what I was looking for, in addition to being in walking distance (within 10 minute walk) of my top grocery stores: Aldi, Trader Joes, and Stop & Shop. Its approx 15 min walk to Assembly Row, 5 min drive to Target and Costco, and 5 min drive to Wegmans. Its by far the most convenient location I've lived in within the US. Its a quick drive to Boston about 15-20 min drive and about 20 min drive to Burlington where I frequent for work. Lastly, its about 5 min walk to Orange line Wellington T stop. If you have a car, parking is plentiful here, no long treks to the car :). Aside from location I loved that they have trash and recycling drop off on each floor; hence, you don't have to worry about stepping foot outside to throw away trash. I'm an avid recycler so I loved that they had this option available (my previous apt in Burlington didn't). The rooms are huge. I have my office inside of my bedroom and a queen size bed and I still have more space. I also have a good size walk-in closet. However, my roommate's room and walk-in closet is much bigger than mine (I'm sure she can fit in addition to a desk a small couch in her room). When it comes to cost, they are very affordable for the location. I try to keep a hard cap on living expenses (no more than 1,500 a mo. including utilities). Lastly the staff from the maintenance team to the leasing office are customer-centric. I had initially told them that I would be moving after 3 months once I moved in but I fell in love with the place. They provided concessions to ensure that I was a happy a customer. Maintenance staff are very responsive and do a good job of following up after they fix items to ensure it works. I honestly wish that these were condos instead of apt because I would definitely look into buying here. If you're looking for an A1 experience I highly suggest Wellington Place :).

Initially, that's what really stuck out most to us because other apartments in the area were hard to get ahold of an actual human. Once we got here, the leasing office was so accommodating on our move in day and we instantly fell in love with the entire complex. You can't beat the amenities here and how beautiful the apartments are. On top of that, maintenance is very quick too and they have incredible resident events!

There are thousands of very specific rules and the building managers act like dictators. You cannot decorate for holidays and can't have certain things on your porch. You're only allowed to have white curtains and can't put anything on your door (like a wreath or something). We put a deposit down on an apartment and the leasing office woman gave it away. They do not care about their residents and just want people to come in and out as fast as possible.

I absolutely love this apartment! We had the best 3 years in here. 1. No location is better than…read morethis: mystic river, medford dog park, wegmans, petco, Starbucks (in station landing), and further assembly row. I had everything I need in walking distance. 2. A free parking in the garage for each apartment. I don't see this deal anywhere around here. For a period of time we had two cars, and the extra parking is only $100. (other places are ~$200). 3. Maintenance is on spot! Any issue I had, the maintenance guys were there the same day or the next day the latest. They are also on call on the weekends. 4. In 3 years (end of 2019-end of 2022), our rent stayed the same! When inflation is a thing, you heard people complaining about rent goes up, not here! Every time I renew my lease, it's always the same amount! 5. They are extremely dog friendly! It was rare for an apartment to accept German Shepherd, they absolutely don't discriminate what breed your pet is. There are dog treats in the lobby, poop bags and trash cans all around the building. 6. Amenities are fantastic, pool, gym, grill, etc., There was a Christmas they had a gift wrapping station for the tenant for free, with all the supplies! 7. The move-out process was a breeze! Dropped the key and got my deposit back within a week. The list goes on, these are just the ones on top of my head. I was so sad to leave this apartment, but homeownership calls. Until today, whenever I drive by here, I still feel like home and miss this place. I genuinely wish all the staff well and recommend this place to anyone. - A super grateful previous tenant.
