I can only say there is no comparison between the two. Marina Bay is of course a prime location. The scenery, the amenities, the restaurants are all a huge plus. There is a real "community" feel to Metro Marina Bay. The staff is very friendly and efficient in their responses to your needs and questions. Always looking to make residents happy. If you are looking for a community where you feel like "home" then Metro Marina Bay is it. Miss it and highly recommend it.

Apartment is maintained well. Once I had water flowing into…read moremy bedroom because apparently upstairs neighbor left the bathroom sink overflowing. All our bedroom furniture had to be removed and they put a really noisy dehumidifier for three days in the bedroom. I couldn't sleep with that dehumidifier on (I'm assuming most people can't), so I had to sleep elsewhere for a few days. No apology from the management on the incident. Some neighbors were very obnoxious. I would hold the main entrance door for the person behind me to come in, and she wouldn't even acknowledge me as if I was a doorman. This happens a few times - I'm pretty sure it was the same person. There would also be some neighbors who are drunk late at night and be loud at the parking lot.

Definitely a 5 start review is well deserved!

Fantastic value for the money - the units are huge (we are in a 2b2b that is almost 1400 sq ft) and…read morerelatively new. Not as modern as some of the other apartment buildings we saw, but the size of our unit more than makes up for it. Management is relatively quick to respond to issues. I moved in July 10. Since then, we have had issues getting maintenance orders responded to in a timely manner (took about a week to repair the broken washer), though management communicated it was due to the head of maintenance being out so they were understaffed. Another issue I've noticed is with recycling - there is a large compactor at the entrance of the community that is absolutely chock full. So full that people had no choice but to place their recycling outside resulting in a huge pile of cardboard. The biggest issue is the package room. Every single building in the community has their own package room - but packages are extremely commonly delivered to the incorrect building, so it becomes a game of checking each building for your package. Overall I still have enjoyed living here so far, but it definitely has its quirks.

Apartments and very spacious and grounds seem well maintained, but based on the application…read moreprocess alone, I would recommend people looking elsewhere due to incompetence. I was extremely disappointed with my application process, it was unnecessarily dragged out. Elevation staff are slow to respond to emails, I'm only able to reach someone on the phone about 50% of the time, and staff overall seems to be incompetent. Elevation originally miscalculated my income and tried to say I didn't qualify which was impossible. I calculated my income on my own, sent them my results and requested for them recalculate because an error was clearly made. I did not receive a response from them after multiple emails and had to call to see what was going on. After they confirmed that an error was made no apology was made. Makes me wonder how many people this has happened to. None of my questions have been clearly answered about the application process. I shouldn't have to jump through hoops for efficient communication. Customer service is subpar for a "luxury" community.

So I'm going against the grain here and giving this place a good review despite its faults. I'll go…read morethrough the faults first and then tell you while we like it here regardless. So please read it, even though it's long! 1) Pet messes. This is a continual problem. I feel like there's so many potential solutions that are ignored. Like putting some sort of cleaning dispensing thing in the elevators (with paper towels and some sort of spray and a trash bin to go with it). There's nothing worse than that elevator door opening and seeing pee/poop everywhere. it's so bad that now despite how the floor looks, our son ALWAYS says "YUCK!" when the doors open :-P I think there should also be cleaning stuff on EVERY floor and in the lobby. When I talked to management about it, they suggested to have the stuff near the mailboxes, but if a dog goes to the bathroom in the elevator, by the time people get to the mailboxes, the elevator is gone and fellow residents get the awful surprise. It needs to be right where the mess is being made! 2) The black ice on the parking lot during winter. My husband fell while he was holding our son! Our little baby had a nice goose egg on his forehead despite my husband's best efforts to fall mostly on his arm. 3) No cell phone reception. It's gotten better since we moved here in 2013, but the excuse we get is that we are "above the cell towers". I was hoping they would buy network extenders. We had to get a land line and pay $$ though we hardly use it-- we just want to make sure we can talk to people on the phone when we are home! Rent is HIGH, but this is the reality in this area. The grass isn't always greener in places with cheaper rent. A lot of people complain of noise, but maybe it's because I've lived in worse places,but I don't really hear anything. But noise comes with any apartment community living. BUT! There are always going to be pros and cons to a place. It's normal to be extremely disappointed and I get it, but I've also lived in a lot of different places, and despite its flaws, we really like it here. This is why: 1) CENTRAL AIR. THANK GOD FOR THIS. 2) The Community. Aside from the time we lived in Oak Square, I never knew my neighbors. Here, though it sort of feels college campusy, I at least have gotten to know people! It's been better since our son was born and we've started to bond with other parents, so it's nice. The complex also puts on events like a movie night or a game night...community barbecues...hosting paint night parties...there's a halloween party for kids and adults... a winter holiday party (they get the fire department to bring Santa by- it's so cute!). The person who dresses as Santa works for Berkshire and lets kids sit on his lap for pics. The people in the office are really trying. The people who live here are nice. 3) The shuttle. Thank goodness for this shuttle! It only runs during rush hour times, but at least it's there! There's been a high turnover in drivers but at this time, we are really happy with our AM and PM drivers. The PM driver (Tom) is our favorite. He absolutely loves our son and lets us just come in for the ride (our son is obsessed with the bus). 4) It's SO SPACIOUS. Unless you've lived in a bigger place or have owned your own house, this place is big! I know there are different floor plans (we have the biggest one of the 2 bed two bath), but from how we lived before, even the one beds here are really spacious. Lots of good closet space....there is plenty of counter and cabinet space (something we've never had before!). 5) It's SO pretty here! It's nice to have trees and flowers and green space around! 6) The amenities. We have a gym (I don't use it, but I know it's been remodeled recently), a pool, a game room, a club house (expensive to rent but nice when parties are held there), a courtyard with grills and outdoor seating, a tennis court, ON SITE MAINTENANCE... 7) Lease renewal perks: with every lease renewal you get either a carpet cleaning voucher or a paint voucher to paint one wall of the apartment. If you are picky, don't move here. If you just want a nice place to live for the time being, this is it. This is not your forever home but it's home! It's not perfect, but what place is?? I have to say that my opinions may be swayed by the fact we moved here after living in a place with only 2 prong outlets, TINY closets, truly paper thin walls (like we heard our neighbors use the toilet) and a clawfoot tub that drained slowly. Therefore, the reviews I see make me think they lived in mansions before.... There are a ton of horrible reviews out there, but I am sure my friends would agree with my comments. It's easier to write bad reviews than good reviews I guess. Again, it's not the perfect place to live, and as you see above, there are valid complaints, but there's no perfect place. I don't regret moving here. And we are still here. This is officially year 3. I hope this helps in your apartment search!

Nice grounds, severe safety concerns and more…read more.. Our stay at highpoint had highs and lows. We stayed from March 2025-June 2026. Pros include fast maintenance calls during regular hours (for damaged or broken items, normal maintenance etc). The grounds are always kept very nice, the building is always clean. I never had a package stolen or items missing. Unfortunately the list of cons outweighs the pros. During our 15 month stay we had several issues come up that were either ignored, pushed down the line, or told they did all they could. Within the first few months the luggage cart in the lobby of the building was damaged. I submitted a ticket and was told that they had ordered a new one. Upon leaving this June there still had not been a new one. On December 30th a party took place across the hall from my apartment. We asked them to quiet down and I submitted a ticket to let the office know they were not being respectful. December 31st they had another party. Well after midnight we asked them to quiet down. They were very disrespectful and threatened to beat up my girlfriend if she called the cops (they were all underage). Come to find these teens had broken into the building and into this apartment to have a party. Police eventually came and removed the kids. I brought this up to the leasing office and they had no idea. I asked for a follow up after I reported it and was concerned with the safety of the apartment and received no response. SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. Another party like this happened on Valentine's Day and again, no response or message shared with the community. This was the first year of severe snowstorms in a while. We paid for covered parking. The first snow storm, technically blizzard. I arrived home from work to find a car parked in my spot. I called maintenance and was told someone would be on it. A few hours went by and no movement and my car was covered with more snow. I submitted another ticket. The next day I went to the office with my frustration and was told "they probably just weren't towing last night". How practical is that? The next storm, the same exact thing. On another occasion, a car was parked in my spot, I went to the office to tow the car. They insisted that they call the resident first. I said I understand and waited in the office for them to call the resident. They would not call, stating "we like to give the resident some time before we start asking". I replied that I would be in the office until the car was moved as I pay for the spot and should not have to wait. They reluctantly called and the driver eventually moved the car. We had also been told back in January that work was being done on the gate to the parking lot. As of June the gate is still inoperable. Beginning in May we noticed a truck parked outside of the building with a driver every single day. All day all night. Eventually, curiosity got the best of us and we asked the driver what they were doing. They were a member of the Quincy Fire Department and they were on a detail because the fire sprinkler system in the building was not up to standard. This was never once communicated to any of the residents. This is a concerning aspect that was never communicated. We were told in the weeks leading up to Memorial Day that the pool was in disrepair and would not open on time. A few weeks later we were told that the pool was not going to be opened on their adjusted date as they could not get the permitting from the city. One would think that having lost the major amenity in the complex would result in a waived amenity fee. Not at Highpoint. Communication is truly the biggest issue in this complex. The leasing office does not seem approachable. They do not like taking responsibility or acting when residents ask. It takes over a week to get an email response, if you get one at all. Calling over the phone is impossible as their AI assistant ends all phone calls and asks that you leave a message that the office will never get back to you on. The downfall of this complex is the staffing. When we signed our lease the manager of the complex, Caitlin, was excellent. She was kind, responsive, helpful. When she moved locations everything went down hill. Communication was unheard of, the people in the office were rude, work orders stalled. Eric, Shamila, and the two others have a lot of work to do. It takes nothing to respond to an email or communicate effectively with your tenants.

Not Portside, not that new Clipper Ship development, not the border street project, not anything. The rooftop deck on the 17th floor with stunning views of the Seaport, Downtown, Zakim bridge, airport and Charlestown is something you can't get anywhere else. The 2nd floor pool deck, I literally spend every sunny day up there and it's not crowded Monday through Friday and has amazing views of the harbor and friendly neighbors to chat with. Great indoor amenities too if you want to host a dinner party, they have a gas stove and a pool table with a ginormous TV and sofas. Our Super Bowl party was a blast. There is a puppy washing room too if you are into dogs, and lots of green space outside for walking said dogs. We've met so many dogs since moving here. It's like a dog paradise. We moved here from Charlestown in November 2016 and they offer a 15 month lease which is awesome. Our first floor apartment has it's own door to the outside which would be even more useful if we had a dog. Everyday I can sit on my sofa and watch giant ships cruise by within yards of my window. It's breathtaking. The management and leasing staff are friendly, accommodating and always asking how they can make the Eddy better. They often organize great events for residents and provide free donuts, candy and ice cream throughout the year in the lobby. If something breaks, Jose the maintenance guy is right there to fix it and is friendly! 24/7 concierges are very nice and will notify you when packages arrive and Brandon will always open the door for you if he's not on the phone. We love Brandon. Brandon, please don't ever leave. Update: The restaurant here has improved, plus we moved 15 stories up so we can't hear the restaurant noise anymore. Five stars for the Eddy! We love it here, won't you be my neighbor??

READ THIS BEFORE MOVING HERE…read more I lived at The Eddy for almost a year, and while the location is convenient and the views are beautiful, my overall experience was extremely disappointing. For a building marketed as luxury, both the apartment quality and level of service fall well below expectations. The apartments have cheap finishes, and several recurring issues made everyday living frustrating. The washer and dryer frequently left clothes with an unpleasant smell, while the windows did not close or seal properly. This was particularly noticeable on higher floors, where cold air would enter the apartment and wind would create a constant, irritating whistling noise. Another concerning incident involved maintenance opening my apartment door despite my explicitly stating in my maintenance request that I did not authorize entry without my permission. Respecting residents' privacy should be a basic expectation, not something residents have to worry about. The concierge service was particularly disappointing. A younger male concierge who typically works mornings repeatedly provided inaccurate information and even had the audacity to ask me for a gift. A reminder: **your job is to assist residents, not expect personal favors for performing responsibilities you're already paid to fulfill. Working in a luxury building does not automatically mean you provide luxury service.** Professionalism is demonstrated through conduct, and unfortunately, his left much to be desired. Management's communication was equally frustrating. I sent multiple emails regarding my concerns and have records of that correspondence. Although the leasing office eventually addressed the concierge matter, I was never properly updated or informed of the outcome. Residents should not have to repeatedly follow up for basic communication and accountability. To be fair, The Eddy offers a convenient location and beautiful views. Unfortunately, those are about the only aspects I can genuinely compliment. A nice view cannot compensate for poor apartment quality, recurring maintenance problems, questionable professionalism, and inadequate communication. **I would not recommend The Eddy.** At this price point, residents deserve more than an attractive building with subpar apartments and service that fails to meet basic expectations.
