I just learned from Spectrum that Northland Properties is forcing Spectrum's massive 'Community…read moreWiFi network' and expense on all of its tenants in all of their properties in the Austin area at lease renewal - with no option for opt-out. What's worse is the massive increase in microwave radiation (2GHz and 5GHz frequency bands) that will be irradiating tenants 24/7 - far above levels that have already proven to be unsafe (according to tens of thousands of peer-reviewed scientific studies worldwide). Equipment boxes and routers will blanket these properties with super high frequency ambient and directional radiation waves - in addition to the Radio Frequency exposures that are already choking the airwaves. Do your homework, Northland, before assaulting the brains and health of children, pets, and people with this reckless and dangerous technology - not to mention stripping tenants of their right to make decisions regarding their own health, safety, and peace of mind. The reports and links on the Environmental Health Trust website (ehtrust.org) provide enough validation on the dangers of 5G to halt this insane enforcement.

We recently moved out of our apartments at Madison at the Arboretum and this was our experience. I…read moreshared this on the Madison at the Arboretum page as well: DO NOT RENT HERE! DO NOT RENT HERE! DO NOT RENT HERE! DO NOT RENT HERE! Finally moved out of what hubby and I are calling "The money pit" on the 1st of feb. Things were fine, hubby did a great job of cleaning the place, and we put in a 2 months notice. Did that matter? NOOOOOO! Let's see, we get popped with a $475 fee to replace the entire carpet because less than a square inch of it was damaged by our cat. We were told by the grounds people (upon pre inspection) that it wouldn't cost much to repair. THAT was BS! Oh, speaking of pets, it doesn't matter if the cat/dog was clean and didn't leave any stains/sheds on the carpet, you will STILL get charged a pet fee "for people allergic to pets". It's a PET FRIENDLY APARTMENT COMPLEX! People with allergies would know to avoid this place if they were concerned about dander!! Did I mention a "Deep cleaning fee" too, even though my husband scrubbed our place top to bottom?! To say I am angry is an understatement. After all that we have paid in rent and how we DID abide by the rules of our 2 month notice/cleaning the place, we are stuck paying nearly $2,000 just to leave. DO NOT RENT HERE! DO NOT RENT HERE! DO NOT RENT HERE! DO NOT RENT HERE! Look, if you want to pay nearly a $1,000 a month for a one bedroom with NONE of the utilities covered, you are better off renting somewhere that at least gives you a few perks and well, LETS YOU KNOW OF HOW MUCH YOU RISK PAYING IF YOU DECIDE TO LEAVE EVEN IF YOU GIVE OVER A 2 MONTHS NOTICE! AGAIN, WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT RENT HERE!!!!!!!!!

I could describe Ted Rist in generalities but I figured I'll describe him and his right-hand man…read morenamed Rubin and their behavior towards us on the day we moved into their property. Two days prior to moving in, I called Ted and asked him what the earliest time we could come collect our keys was. He said that he didn't force his previous tenants to be completely moved out at the end of the lease so we might run into the previous tenants, he then went on a long tangent about how "they're good guys, you know, and also the heat works really well." I asked my question again, he said "Sometime between 9 and 10." I said, "So 9?" He said, "How about 10?" So there it was - we arrived at the building on the day at 9:55am. Ted was nowhere to be found - turns out that's typical of his "management" style. We called the number his answering machine gives as the "maintenance" number. That's where Rubin came in, he told us he'd arrive in 20 minutes, he arrived over an hour later. After we got let in, we found the toilet wasn't flushing, so I called Rubin. He said, "Give me five minutes." Two hours later - no Rubin. I went downstairs to Ted's office, he was there and said "Oh, sorry Rubin is taking so long, he ran out to get me some coffee." No mention of Ted's not showing up when he agreed to. Keep in mind, Ted is perfectly capable of getting his own coffee, especially when his maintenance guy has to go fix a new tenant's toilet. From that day forward through the end of our lease, Rubin especially repeatedly made demeaning and derogatory comments towards us whenever he had to come complete maintenance work (which was not that often). If that sounds like an experience you're interested in, this is the place for you. The location is indisputably great, minus the endless construction, but that's about it.

Ted Rist is / was the owner of Amber Property Management…read more When I lived in Boston, Amber managed the building and they were God awful. All the bad things you heard about bad property management companies, Amber embossed all of them. All calls when unanswered. When you did call, often he would say "What do you want me to do about it, I am up in New Hampsha" Any job, small or large, was always done half assed backwards and looked like it was done by a 9 year old. Everything they touched they screwed up. I usually had to finish or redo the repair so it was properly done. One day, the landlord had them install laundry facilities in the basement. Well they did, and hooked up the dryer wrong so it was free and we did not have to pay. Great for the tenants. It was about a month before the landlord discovered this and Ted and his crew ended their tenure on our building.

Not as wide spread as Centre Realty Group, but the Realtor we worked with, Michelle was much more…read moreprofessional (no political tirades). So why the mediocre rating? Well it was a series of events that got my hopes up only to lead to disappointment soured my experience. Also they don't really have much inventory. I will say that this company has the lowest "fee" for the place we were looking out of any of the other agencies. It was just a straight forward credit report from Experian that you could keep and use for future applications $15/person. (However, we all know all the other agencies won't trust you. They want you to fritter your money to pay a fee for their arbitrary credit report.) Then the usual stuff like pay stubs, W2 and references from previous landlord. I found a listing (too late) on Zillow for an ideal location with reasonable price, and she still agreed to show it to us which was nice since the property owners were still vetting candidates. She also tried to push this other undesirable (and overpriced) apartment that had been on the market for months in lieu of the current one. I can't help but feel like she just wanted to show more qualified candidates for consideration to boost her and the agency's reputation - when all along they were going to pick the first applicant anyway (to avoid potential accusations of discrimination). She even set up a meeting with the Property Managers for a small interview at their office location after hours. Regrettably she informed us that they chose the other applicant since they were equally qualified. I thought that the "dream place" slipped through our fingers. We asked her to keep us in mind for other rental units with similar stats, but we never heard from her again. Thankfully we got in touch with another realty group and found something else around the same price point. The absolute best part was that not even a month after we moved in we received an e-mail from Michelle and she said the same property was now available again for rental at the start of the following month! We let her know we found something else, but we were curious what happened. Of course I understand that she doesn't want to reveal what happened, but it's truly funny how things work out sometimes. Think RES is a professional company overall and I didn't get the scummy vibe from them (like CRG) so they could very well work for you. I recommend continuing to look as well on your own if you're a renter as I mentioned earlier there's not a huge inventory of places.

I am posting this review regarding Barkan Management Company's corporate handling of a serious…read morehealth and habitability complaint at their property Naubuc Green Apartments in Glastonbury, CT. This is not a minor complaint. This is a documented, ongoing failure to protect the health and safety of an elderly disabled tenant in federally assisted housing. My mother is a 69-year-old Section 8 tenant at Naubuc Green who has been unable to safely and comfortably occupy her apartment for over a month. The air quality in her unit has been dangerously elevated -- sustained high VOC levels and elevated particulate matter recorded by continuous monitoring over several weeks, coinciding with a persistent chemical odor particularly in the evenings. My mother experiences cough, throat and nose irritation, headaches, dizziness, and difficulty breathing every time she is inside the unit. Her symptoms consistently improve when she leaves. She has hypothyroidism, which makes her significantly more vulnerable to chemical exposure. She is 69 years old and on a fixed income. Here is exactly how Barkan Management handled this at every level: On March 25, 2026, property manager McKenzie Corcoran committed in writing: 'I'm in contact with BluSky just waiting for a date and time when they can come out, I'll keep you posted.' No new information emerged after that email. Nothing changed. That commitment was silently retracted with no explanation given. When pressed on why BlueSky was cancelled, management claimed BlueSky does not perform this type of air quality testing. I called BlueSky directly. They confirmed they absolutely do perform this type of inspection -- they assess the situation on site and coordinate third party laboratory testing as needed. Management's claim was factually false. On April 6, 2026, Laura J. Waldrop -- Senior Vice President of Barkan Management Company -- personally put the following in writing: 'We will not have your apartment tested for VOCs, by BluSky or any other similar company... Until you can produce this information, we will not do our own testing or transfer you to another unit.' The Senior Vice President of this company personally decided, in writing, that a 69-year-old disabled tenant in federally assisted housing would not have her air tested and would not receive a unit transfer -- regardless of the documented evidence or ongoing symptoms. She then recommended that my 69-year-old mother on a fixed income hire and pay for her own certified air quality engineer out of pocket. My mother pays rent every month to Barkan Management to live in their property. It is management's legal obligation to provide habitable conditions -- not the tenant's financial responsibility to prove her own home is unsafe. That a Senior Vice President would make this recommendation to an elderly Section 8 tenant is unconscionable. The full pattern of failures by Barkan Management: -- Refused to conduct any professional air quality testing despite weeks of documented evidence and ongoing physical symptoms -- Committed in writing to a BlueSky inspection then retracted it without explanation -- Made a false claim that BlueSky cannot perform this type of testing -- Conducted only visual walkthroughs and declared everything fine -- despite VOCs being odorless and completely undetectable without equipment -- Denied every request for a unit transfer despite over a month of displacement -- Offered no temporary accommodation and no reimbursement -- Ignored formal written requests for weeks at a time -- Used procedural technicalities to avoid engaging with documented concerns -- Told an elderly tenant on a fixed income to pay for testing themselves Property manager McKenzie Corcoran became confrontational with my mother during an in-person meeting -- raising her voice and dismissively asking 'What smell, Jolanta?' before repeatedly telling her 'I don't know what you're going to do, Jolanta.' The first statement dismisses the problem entirely. The second implicitly acknowledges it. My 69-year-old mother left that meeting feeling intimidated and afraid. This is how Barkan Management treats elderly tenants raising legitimate health and safety concerns. This property receives federal HUD funding and is designated specifically for elderly and disabled residents -- among the most vulnerable people in our community. Barkan Management's corporate leadership, up to and including the Senior Vice President, made a deliberate decision to leave a sick elderly woman without safe housing rather than fulfill their most basic obligations as a landlord. I have a complete paper trail -- emails with dates and names, VOC and particulate matter data, medical records, and management's own written responses. Every claim in this review is documented. I will be pursuing all available remedies including regulatory complaints, HUD complaints, and legal action.

To whom it may concern, I am appalled at the renewal notice…read moreI received yesterday. Greed must be the mission a statement for this company. Whoever the individual is that came up with this form of lease renewal is not qualified to even have a drivers license. This truly is a sad sad idea.

Monthly payments going up from $2080.00 to $2303.00 which now I have to basically pay rent for my beagle and the pest service that doesn't really work. Pardon me but that is completely ridiculous.

The apartments are clean and the management team was always willing to help solve any concerns that arose.

We joked when we first moved in that the bathrooms were so large that you could DANCE in them. Maintenance issues were resolved promptly and the community of people living here was interesting and congenial. Anyone looking for a lease from 2-12 months (or longer) should definitely take a look at Endicott Green. It's proximity to major highways, shopping, restaurants, etc. is amazing and your dog can live here, too! The grounds are beautifully landscaped with mature trees and lots of birds flying and bunnies hopping. Disposable bags are provided at stations throughout the property to make it easy to clean up your dog's "business". The property is located on Route 1 just south of the Rte. 62 intersection and one minute North of the Rte. 95 intersection... a commuter's dream! I am in the process of purchasing a new home and my daughters and I are actually sad to be leaving this place. Thank you, Northland and everyone at Endicott Green.
