Oh my gosh, where to start? I lived here for about 2 years and it was miserable. If I had an option…read moreat the time to go somewhere else, I would have. You can hear EVERYTHING happening in your neighbor's apartments. I was subject to hearing a woman cry and beg her male companion to leave her alone weekly. I contacted property management, concerned, and was threatened that I, too, have noise complaints about my loft because of my service dog, (who is trained not to bark). When I asked for the time/date of these complaints, I received no response. I was made to feel as if any complaints on my behalf would result in action against me for my service dog. Any further communication with property management was met with return complaints about my dog peeing on the grass, where we walked her in the neighborhood, etc. At one point I was repeatedly approached by security every time I took my dog out to use the restroom, her asking me for "papers" to prove she is a service dog, asking me what services she provides, and for what disability, and if I have "any proof" on me that she's allowed to be in the apartment complex, (and yes, we had gone through all the appropriate channels). I was also required to register my dog's saliva for feces testing, which is not legal. The absolute attitude from management was despicable. At one point, after speaking with other residents with service animals, I requested a trash can be located near an entrance to the building to dispose of dog waste - and was told that having an employee "walk to empty the trashcan would be an undue burden." The heating and cooling costs a fortune because there is no insulation between floors. This matter is so bad, that if my upstairs neighbor spilled anything, even a bottle of juice, it would immediately leak through the ceiling, oftentimes onto our bed. It is so costly and hard to keep these apartments heated, that one time we turned on the hot water in the bathroom and the sink itself shattered. It took much back and forth with management to get them to fix it, over 4 months, and then they tried to charge us for it because "there's no way you didn't drop something heavy in it." The bugs are ridiculous - I would have swarms of ants and ticks coming up through the floorboards from the parking garage below every spring and was told "every apartment building has some ants." I genuinely feel bad for people renting in New Bedford, as this is one of the main companies that own the apartments here.

The quality of your experience will completely depend on who lives above or below you. I have been very lucky, until now. A few new tenants moved in around me and all smoke. My apartment smells like an ashtray, every day. Though management has repeatedly tried to find out who is violating the leasing agreement of a no tolerance smoking policy, they have failed. If you smoke, this is the building for you! Sadly, I do not.

After living here for just over 3 years and being a good tenant, you would think that Acorn…read moremanagement would have more tact. Unfortunately, acorn can't even keep their own lies and switch tracking straight. Don't move here unless you want to be kicked out for wanting changes on your lease. My rent was supposed to be raised $60 and of course I respectfully asked if they would keep my rent the same. As expected, Acorn (the management company) said no. Next, I asked if they would allow me to have one of their storage units at no additional cost with the rent increase and I asked them to fix several major issues within the first 30 days or I would begin putting my rent into escrow. After a few days, The regional manager and one other rental agent refused to let me renew my lease because of that. Now, a month later, the new tenant in that unit is dealing with a flooded first floor apartment I used to live in. Why? Because the terrible maintenance staff didn't fix ANY of the issues I told them was wrong with the space. An hour after my incredibly one sided conversation with these two, where they did all the talking, they had the constable on their payroll deliver a termination of tenancy letter. Yet, the cop said it was an eviction notice. What the heck? You know why I was actually asked to leave? Because I somehow upset One of the staff members and instead of coming to me like an adult to talk to me, they had me kicked out to live on the streets. If I didn't have friends and family, I would be on the streets. Do not rent from here! It's not worth it! It's over priced and the staff doesn't do their job. Plus, the maintenance staff is constantly smoking in the common areas of the building, then the staff blames it on the tenants. The only people that actually do their jobs are the cleaning ladies. Among other issues, there's mold and mildew through the whole building, all the construction work by acorn is half assed and not up to code, countless tenants were promised a storage space included in their rent before they ever installed a storage area yet charge $60 a month, we were promised a pool that still doesn't exist and they are still promising a pool! Staff smokes in the building, all of the "new" dishwashers, fridges and microwaves they install are actually used (there has been food and dirty dishes in one dishwasher they gave me and they claimed they just bought it a few days prior). When I lived in one of the accessible units on the north side, it was 9 months before the leak in the bedroom was fixed. Then when I lived on the fifth floor and first floor, there was problem after problem. Plumbing, electrical, A/C, mold, mildew, everything! Plus, we had several drug addict neighbors that I had to call the cops on at least twice a week. Oh! And let's not forget that the accessible units aren't actually up to ADA regulations. Staff tried to argue that they are but both of my parents helped write the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. It was pounded into my head growing up. Especially with 2 parents with physical disabilities, so I'm confident in my knowledge on the laws. Oh and maintenance is ALWAYS smoking inside the building and then blaming tenants. Smoking is allowed in the apartments, just not in the common areas. If you want to live in a luxury apartment, this isn't is.

Chris and I will miss…read moreyou!!! ------------------- It's going on 90 days since we moved into Cornell Mill Lofts, so I just wanted to give my impressions thus far. First, I'll say that finding an apartment during the Summer is, well, no vacation! We only had a short window from the time we had to vacate our previous address, to the time we had to find a new one. Thankfully, when I contacted Cornell Mil Lofts-- while driving and searching for apartment vacancies-- Joyce answered the phone, and she said to come down "now" and she would find us something. She did, and went above and beyond to get us into our apartment within days; not weeks or months. It's been a very pleasant experience to date. We really love the apartment and for our lifestyles, it's perfect. We have enough space for entertainment, dining, each with our own work/office areas... and that's just in the main room. Really liking the large windows that soar to the high ceilings, which bring in all the natural light we can handle! Old wood floors add much character, mixed with the more modern appliances and fixtures. The grounds/parking lot are well lit, and I feel very secure in and around the building, day or night. Unlike our last residence, trash/recycling is a breeze with separate dumpsters nicely situated at the far end of the parking lot. Also, a dedicated mail room means I won't have to worry about packages being left unattended outside. In 90 days, we did have one light bulb go out, which usually is not a problem at all-- except the ceilings are *really* high, so without any way to climb 15 feet, I had to put in a maintenance ticket. Within a day the bulb was replaced, good as new. That process was super-easy, just creating a ticket on the tenant portal. I will say I had one other problem, but that was with FedEx. FedEx delivered a few packages to another mill building nearby, but I couldn't find out from FedEx where that was. So I printed out the photos from the FedEx tracking page, and I asked Joyce if she could help me investigate. She was a great help, and I was ultimately able to retrieve my new rug! Thanks Joyce! Looking forward to the next 90!
