These condos have more of a house feel rather than a condo. Lots of light and they are spaceous too! They plow and collect the trash and they are always trying to upgrade without raising fees. This is a family and pet friendly neighborhood with great walking areas and playing areas for the kid. Close enough to shopping, mass pike and rte 9. Also close to good schools! I cant recommend these enough! The economy has forced prices down so now would be a great time to buy!

I have questions about living and about buying here. I came to veiw a condo for sale in this…read moredevelopement on a recent beautiful day, and stopped to talk to someone who I thought was a caretaker, raking a yard. They were actually the residents of the condo, who do their own yard work, to bring it to an acceptable curb-appeal standard. They pay nearly $300.00 monthly fee which is what I learned at the viewing, but they are doing their own work. Looking at the streets it's clear: broken street signs lying on sidewalks, large chunks of curb scattered, which appear to have been destroyed by winter plowing, and trash, shingles and roof materials here and there...I was told that the roof was done a couple of years ago but what I saw does not indicate "new roof." The owner said some of the units had severe leaks this winter. Makes one wonder about how their monthly fee dollars are being spent. That seems like a lot of money from each owner, for the place to look like it did, and for an apparent new roof to breach. Other develpments I've looked at were a lot more "clean." The condo I looked at was nice... I'd be interested if anyone is willing to give their personal experiences about living here...thanks.

I have a 2 bedroom and 1 bath and it's really spacious and when I moved in it was very clean, tidy, and had everything I needed except for my clothes of course! The beds are really comfortable, as is the couch and love seat. I only have glowing things to say about this apartment complex. I do my laundry at my boyfriend's, so I don't have to pay for that here, but the fact that EVERYTHING is included otherwise (ALL utilities including internet, furniture, appliances, bed linens, towels, etc etc) makes having to pay a tiny bit for laundry not a big deal at all. I think some of the more negative reviews were posted a while back. The grounds are absolutely beautiful - they keep the area very well maintained.

Travel nurse here for 3 months (for now). The other reviews left prior to mine are outdated and quite frankly, are ridiculous. This place is great. Grateful to have parking and laundry facilities.

Dont move here!! Theres so much to say about this complex. Its old, start there. 15 years and its…read morebeen neglected for a while. Its sad cause it was once a beautiful place with lovely tenants , many who have been there for years under old ownership. A few years ago a private equity company purchased this and Winn manages it. Now its only $$ signs that interest them. The whole place is dated and worn out. Thin carpet , small original cheap appliances which All need to be replaced but wont be. The maintenance staff will attempt to repair them with parts from other appliances . If you do manage to snag a new appliance it will mean you went weeks without a say washing machine before they replaced it. I saw at least 6 apartments go without air conditioning this past summer while they ordered parts or begged for new ones. It has a little kitchen with chippy granite that gets painted when it chips. My kitchen floor literally had holes in it that were painted to match. That laminate was old and cheap and might cost them a hundred bucks to replace. Its just tired all over. The pool never opened until July cause they hired maintenance men who didnt know how to open or maintain pools. Its took the towns building department to straighten it out. The dog park is gross and never cleaned. The grilling area is a mess and overflowing with trash. Many units have mice. Overall its just not good. They started renting to a new clientele who literally abused all the facilities and nothings ever done about it. One thing you can count on is a rent increase every year.One huge difference is when I moved there , it had an onsite manager and onsite maintenance man. They have neither now and the manager only goes from his car to his office and back and never tours the property or sees what you see as tenants. One bright light is Catherine in the office. So nice but literally her hands are tied. I found another apartment thats newer, nicer and cheaper. No wonder they have so many available apartments. Think twice.

Pros: Neighborhood, Holden, school system, safe area, nice landscaping and Catherine, the leasing…read morespecialist. Cons: Weak management, dated apartments, trash compactor breaks often, animal waste everywhere. Halstead has potential to be "great " however, the apartments are dated. Cabinets in kitchen and bathrooms faded, scratches, never touched up or aligned since when it first opened up as the Reserve. Porches have lots of storage/trash even though it's prohibited. Most apartments still have the original rugs! The rugs are sparse and dirty. The replacement rugs are cheap and show wear within a year. There is paint splashes everywhere the counter, cabinets, floor and rug from when the painters come in after a tenant leaves. If you happen to bump into the wall, your clothes will also be covered in paint from the numerous coats on them over the years. You can't have your own ceiling fan they make you rent one from them for $15 a month which is totally insane. These are these fans are antiquated. In terms of management, The manager, Malik, is weak. He doesn't seem to enforce policies mentioned in the lease. He appears "unphased" by anything so you feel as though he doesn't care. For instance, during a snowstorm an email goes out when you need to move your car by and the time they're going to plow. What happens is many don't move their car and the plowing is difficult for the company. This leaves piles of snow in spaces that should be used for parking. If you're going to put out a memo that your car will be towed then tow the car after the first instance, people will move their cars then!! Catherine the leasing specialist, however, is friendly and so pleasant to work with. Unfortunately, tenants and anyone who walks through the property does not pick up pet waste. There was poop everywhere even right next to the place where you deposit the waste. The poop situation is concerning there. The hall rugs need replacing, the doors need repainting where you come in and go out of the building. Halstead lacks upkeep inside and within the building itself. The screens are thread bare. I heard that if a dishwasher, washing machine needs replacing that they pull one form storage. The management company refuses to buy any new appliances!! Don't be fooled by the "outside". If they took some money and fixed up the inside of the apartments to look as nice as the outside it might be worth the price of the rent. They do the bare minimum, actually not even the bare minimum when new tenants are coming in. The management team didn't even do a walkthrough before I moved in. I would suggest that the management team go and walk the grounds regularly. Take note at who's got junk and trash on their porches. Walk through empty units and have a maintenance department or an outside company come in and redo the cabinets the floors, the rugs, make it look nice for what they're charging. They raise the rent each year by at least $100 yet, nothing has changed in the unit. The price should actually be less for the lack of any maintenance other than what the tenant does. Lots of pot smoking going on in the parking lot and on the grounds for a non-smoking complex. There are lots of brand new complexes going up in the area to compete. For a one bedroom starting around $2400 and nothing included, unless you're set on living in Holden, you should keep shopping.

This apartment complex is for you if you are fine with: - poisons being sprayed all over the common green space areas where children play and people and dogs walk; - "landscapers" mercilessly mutilating what could be beautiful trees and flowering shrubs into small lumps; - the super loud sound of leaf blowers; - alarms going off for months without maintenance doing anything about it and them acting like you are the problem for asking them to fix the alarm and make the horrendous noise stop; - maintenance not communicating about the work they did, nor seeking clarification with you about the work that needs to be done, nor when they will be in your apartment doing the work, and then maintenance accusing you of being disrespectful for requesting clear communication; - automatic toxic room "fresheners" in the fitness rooms (I had so been looking forward to using them but did not want to breathe the toxins); - crazy loud HVAC units constantly blasting noise making you feel like you are in a non-stop giant engine room in your own home; - ridiculously bright light pollution that is hard to block out at night and visually assaults you when you look out your windows or open your door; there is no reason for such a multitude of super bright, white lights and it is a waste of electricity. When I moved in, there were several things broken in my apartment and things that still needed to be cleaned. Over the first month, maintenance was responsive and did the repairs and cleaning (like the ceiling fan that I could not reach to clean was caked in thick dirt and dust and grease, and the bathroom fan did not work because the painters sprayed the bumpy ceiling paint spray all over it), but they left all the dirt and debris for me to clean up. I never had that experience before where maintenance workers expected me to clean up their mess. It would be useful for them to have a checklist to go through before a tenant moves in to make sure that everything is working and clean. Other than that, the location is good. Visually the aesthetics of the buildings are okay. There is plenty of parking. I like that there are many trees around and I can go for long walks in the neighborhood. I like that they plant flowers at different locations there. The price is expensive but bearable.
