This is truly luxury living…read more Ambiance: The complex welcomes you with a grand entrance of a waterfall, gazebo, lush greenery and exquisite landscape. The entire complex feels like a relaxing resort and everyone loves walking around to take it all in. I thoroughly enjoyed walks with my kid, and going for runs myself since it connects to the Hockanum trail. Staff: Amazing staff who have been managing the grounds for many years. The manager I interacted with primarily, Sabrina, was receptive to feedback and had the maintenance staff address any issues with your unit with a quick turnaround time. When I first moved in, I wanted to make some modifications to my unit and they did it right away and without charging me a penny. Cost: You truly get your bang for your buck here. Every unit has its own privately connected garage and tons of storage space. You even have your own private front entrance. It felt more like a condo than an apartment. My unit had 2 balconies as well and a HUGE walk in closet which I miss so much!! Thank you to the Mansions community for making my stay there truly memorable. I will continue referring folks to the complex. Please keep up the great work of making the residential experience as luxurious as its name :)

Renting a two bedroom in the back of the complex, I find The Mansions to be an exceptionally well run living space. There is a 24-hour gym, heated indoor pool, garages in many of the units and easy access to I-84. The entrance to the complex is right next to Vernon's fabulous Cumberland Farms, which gives us a nice easily accessed convenience store, just in case. Management is responsive and considerate. They have a round the clock number for maintenance emergencies. Management also schedules social events for residents as mixers. All in all, The Mansions is an excellent complex and a nice place to live. I'm very satisfied.

The staff also throws few parties a year with food and alcohol and we have been so impressed by the amount of care they put into taking care of this place.

I lived at Santini Villa Apartments July 2014-June 2016 in one of the 1BR 1.5 Bath Woodbrook…read moreTownhomes. In 2014 my rent was $1230/mo, in 2015 it increased to $1245/mo in 2015, with heat and hot water included. I paid $35-$65/mo for electricity (Eversource), and $35-55 for internet (Comcast). The living room had a wall-unit A/C which kept the living room cool, and with fans to help air-flow kept the upstairs cool. The basement kept naturally cool in the summer. (My basement sliding doors were in the shade from 10am on.) In the winter, the basement was a bit cool near the outside wall (socks were necessary), but otherwise the apartment kept very toasty. The staff were very helpful. I locked myself out 3 times (during office hours) and each time they very promptly drove over with me or lent me a key. After that I did make a copy of my key, which is allowed. If you lock yourself out when the office is closed, it's a $50 call to the locksmith. The online bill payment system is great - responsive on computer and mobile, and very easy to use. I lived in the apartment above the row's furnace, etc. and one night it started making weird clunking noises. I called the emergency maintenance phone number and they got someone over to repair it within 90 minutes. My neighboring residents were a stable presence. There was a college-aged couple, several older couples, and at least 2-3 families with young kids in our row. I saw only one of them move out in my 2 years there. There were maybe 1-2 moving trucks a month in the larger vicinity that I saw, but in general, turnover didn't seem particularly high for a large community of rental properties. Also, the soundproofing between apartments is excellent. I never heard my neighbors unless they were vacuuming and we both had our windows open. The gym at the clubhouse is available to all Santini residents. It was always kept neat and clean, and it's 24 hours. I went at random times, and in general there would be 0-5 other people there. Enough to be friendly, but not crowded and no fighting over the machines. Snow-plowing was always very prompt, especially salting of the steps. They clear out the visitor spaces and then everyone moves their cars there so they can plow the main parking spaces. It would happen at 8 or 9am, so not compatible with sleeping in, but worth it to have a nice clear lot. Trick-or-treating is also nice. You grab a sign from the office during October, and on Halloween if you want trick-or-treaters, you put it on your door, otherwise you're left alone. Kids from the complex and other nearby complexes come around, so it's not an overwhelming amount of kids, but enough to make it satisfying to give out candy. I did sometimes find some house centipedes in the basement as the weather turned cooler, but they are harmless. Also, while some areas of grass are nicely maintained, my back area was a smaller strip that got less attention, and did become a bit dry and weedy during the high months of summer. The kitchen was a bit small in terms of counterspace, but it was manageable so long as I didn't let the dishes pile up. The shower drain also had a weird design that made it a bit difficult to pull out hair that accumulated. In general, pretty minor complaints. Since at least March 2014, there is a specific Model Home apartment for the Woodbrook apartments that Santini takes prospective tenants to tour. That means you don't have strangers tramping through your home after you decline to renew your lease. Overall, I loved my apartment here. The staff was friendly and helpful, the apartment was spacious (that basement!!!!!), had big windows, lots of parking space, and the gym and pool were always well maintained. I'm sad to move, but a new job in a new state awaits! 3 weeks after my lease end-date, I have received my full security deposit back with no problems.

My time at Arbor Commons (Red Tail Residential) was not the best experience. It really started on…read morethe move in day when after paying my deposit and prorated rent the manager demanded I pay an additional $363.83 that morning. He claimed the final amount due could not be calculated until the unit was entered in the system that morning, I did not have much choice, so I ended up paying it. Over my 16 months at Arbor Commons I lost hot water, my AC stopped working, I found two mice, had mold in the bathroom, my fridge broke, and my front doorknob fell off. That is quite a list, but it was this final issue that put me over the edge. On 11/23/23 my tub upstairs would not shut all the way off and water dripped continuously. The water started leaking through my kitchen ceiling. All Zabdiel (Property Manager) did was send maintenance over and remove the wet moldy sheetrock above the sink in the kitchen. The gross tub water continued to leak and drip on my sink and counters constantly for over two months. I could not use my kitchen. Just one drop on my food or plate was enough to make me toss out whatever I was preparing to eat. Even though I sent Zabdiel multiple emails and calls he did not respond. The issue was not fixed as of 1/31/24 my move out date. When I gave my 2 months' notice for moving out on 2/4/24 Zabdiel told me that I would have to pay for a full month's rent in February even though I was leaving on the 4th. Pretty dirty as they prorated my start date but wanted to get an extra month of rent out of me. Luckily, my new landlord was kind enough to let me change my move to 1/31/24 so I did not have to pay a full month to my old landlord. Since I was planning to move out after my 15-month lease I had to go month to month my last month at Arbor Commons. They charged me an additional $300 per month which is about a 20% increase.

Kids are restricted to grass only and are expected to be quiet all day long. They are not allowed to ride bikes in the parking lot. They run a tight ship which is nice in some regards but a lot of the things that are "issues" are normal living activities. All the paint is flat so you can't clean your walls except in the bathrooms. They are supposed to fix things and upgrade them but a lot of things go unattended. Wiring issues, leaking pipes, constant dripping faucets. Air conditioners are all old and completely inefficient. Forget about energy saving features. Every window and door just vents air. Winters and any sort of windy day and it is all over. I don't know what kind of tenants they expect but clearly normal families are not welcome. If you are single or have no children this could be your ideal home. Otherwise don't waste your money.

These people embody the cold New Englander stereotype. If you're at the mailbox and say hi to a neighbor, there's a good chance they will glare at you and walk away. One woman told me not to walk my cat so close to "her" bushes. They bill themselves as a pet friendly community, but put down ungodly amounts of pesticides for "beautification."
