In the past 2 years they've added a beautiful new patio and a gas fire pit with Adirondack chairs around it, and two new gas grills, and this year they resurfaced and re-tiled the pool which looks awesome. The grounds of the property is always beautiful, they take great care of this place. Whenever I've had a maintenance issue the maintenance team has always responded quickly with a sense or urgency. The property manager Patti is also super friendly and knows you by name. She is also willing to work with you if there is a problem, and does so with a smile on her face which goes a long way as a customer. It's unfortunate that people will leave a review only if they've had a bad experience. There are always going to be issues, nothing is perfect, it's what you do about these issues that will drive change for the better. The staff doesn't know what they don't know, so if you aren't providing them feedback nothing will change for the better. All in all I will miss living here as it truly has been a great experience for me, one that I will never forget.

Do not live here! This place is awful I have lived here for 2 years and has gotten really bad. When…read moreyou first move in it seems ok but after a while you notice it is not all that nice. One of the major problems we had was with the air conditioner. When it got warm out we started using the air conditioner. Immediately after we turned it on my boyfriend and I started getting extremely sick. We told the office and said they would send someone up to change he filter. Yes, someone came up and changed the filter but it did not help. We were still getting very sick we told them again, still not very concerned but after complaining a few times someone came and replaced our entire unit. That is the one good thing they did fix it. However, fast forward a few months and I started noticing obscene amounts of mold in the corners of the windows, in the bathroom and on the sides of the air/heat unit. I clean often and even after trying to get rid of the mold it continued to return. Yet again we went to the office and told them about the issue and said we thought maybe it was because the filter in the bathroom has never been changed. They sent someone up and when we told him the issue he said, "that fan doesn't go anywhere, of course you are going to have mold". Are you kidding me!? He did not change the filter on the fan that says, "change every 6 months", and told us that we are going to have mold, basically tough luck. This is absolutely ridiculous. My boyfriend and I have had several bronchial problems and my parents are convinced it is because of the mold in the apartment. I know that our apartment is not the only one with this problem. I have heard several people talking about how disgusting it is that there is mold in all the apartments. So as you can see it is no use to risk your health to live somewhere. They continue to spend loads of money on painting the walls and renovating the laundry rooms, maybe they should worry about the mold and the residents health first. I am so happy to leave when my lease is up and hopefully feel much better.

You are also REQUIRED to give them the keys and let them in or its cause for eviction. Not to mention, the rebuilt apartments are not good quality, the workers cut corners everywhere. You are also REQUIRED to tell them 2 months before the lease is up that youre not resigning or they charge you 20% increases PLUS 250 a month. Giving 2 months notice in this economy is virtually impossible. Especially since the lease says absolutely nothing about them being required to let me know if rent is raising or lowering at that 60 day remaining mark. My biggest frustration is them requiring you to run hot water ALL NIGHT so THEIR pipes dont freeze and then they will not reimburse you. Using my money to save their as*ess from having to repair something. Not to mention i had to reach out 3 times before receiving my lease paperwork. Management never picks up the phone, i will call and no answer. Then 5 seconds later when i walk in the door theyre all just sitting on their computers. Dont let the new shiny counters and "amenities" fool you. Youll pay 2000$ for an apartment slapped together in a month. Also its been two years since that others persons review and the dumpster is still a disgusting mess. The residents dont care, dog poop and pee everywhere too. Literally trash left everywhere next to the dumpster. When going on a tour, they'll tell you that they plow bright and early so there's no need to worry about that, but all they do is the one strip in the road and block your cars in. They never clear out the car spaces so there are mounds of ice in between each car. If none of this matters to you, its a good place to live and its in a good spot. If these things do bother you, look elsewhere

- I DO NOT LIVE HERE -…read more This review is based off the tour I had the other day and will hopefully answer some questions for future residents. Within a week of my tour request, I had 3 different voicemails from 3 different leasing agents trying to schedule with me. Our appointment was at 3pm, and our leasing agent was 10 minutes late. I don't think she ever introduced herself, because I don't remember her name. She also failed to acknowledge my partner and only addressed me. Turns out she's only been with the company for two months. She never asked me for any ID, even though the desk sign said it was required. OK. I gave her my price range and she took us on a golf cart to tour ground level, basic one bedroom. It did look outdated and had carpeted flooring. Then we drove over to see a two bedroom. Neither of the apartments looked like any of the images online. I asked to see the renovated one bedroom that was online. Looked much better, but the price was over $2000/month. False advertising using the basic apartment prices for the updated ones. The application fee is $50 per person. Utilities are NOT included. You have to pay an annual fee for the amenities. There are monthly garbage disposal fees, as well as a monthly $5 admin fee. The leasing agent only told me this because I asked... There are also annual and monthly pet fees PER pet. We were never shown the club house or gym, so I can't speak to that. What I can say is the club house had a boarded up window due to it being broken the day before by kids residing in the complex. The pool looked clean to me. All units have a washer and dryer. Maintenance is based off a work order system, with emergency requests taking priority. Pest control is onsite weekly to maintain the property. There are car ports you can rent for $50/month that have surveillance cameras. We saw some pretty expensive cars on the lot. The leasing agent told us to keep our doors locked. I asked the agent about safety in the area due to the mixed reviews about the complex. She said she knew nothing about the reviews and asked me what I meant. Huge red flag in my opinion. How can you sell a product you haven't researched? Anyways, I told her what I read (that residents mentioned roaches and shootouts) and her only explanation was that a new Jewish management company out of New Jersey (I think) took over a year and a half ago and have been working on changing things. However, old residents from prior management who "let anyone live here" (her words not mine) still reside in the complex. She says they deny many applicants weekly now in order to improve the complex standards. I asked her what the minimum credit score was for acceptance, and she couldn't even answer the question. I can't speak on the minimum requirements for having an application accepted. Overall, this place seemed very, very overpriced. I understand that is the market now, but nothing is included in this complex. It's base rent + everything, even if you don't want to use their amenities. AND you can't guarantee safety? Good luck.

NOTE: The new management company, called Eagle Rock, is way worse than Westgate! Just don't, you…read morewill regret it.... I don't recommend this place at all, here's a just a few reasons why... There is an inch wide crack all the way around the doors to the hallway and the wind whistles through the door all night in addition to letting in the hallway light and all the hallway smells. The hallway always smells terrible, both from people living in the building with incontinence issues and the laundry room vents into the hall. Bugs enter the apartment through the hallway door, spiders, stink bugs, earwigs... The windows do not shut tight we and the wind whistles through the windows. The windows leak water into the apartment during a rain storms. Birds live in air conditioner and wake you at 4 AM. Outdoor lights in the courtyard never go off so they shine in all night. KITCHEN: The kitchen sink was installed with very cheap fixtures that lacked gaskets so water leaked down under the sink. The dishwasher leaves debris on the dishes so every load needs to be rinsed off. The garbage disposals are ancient and don't grind. If your unit has a washer/dryer... the washer tears your clothes and the dryer vents INSIDE causing massive dust in the apartment. The stove also vents inside, putting grease everywhere. Other people have said this -- they raise the rent - a LOT, every lease renewal!

Westgate was the first apartment I lived in when I moved to the area, or should really say, first…read moreplace I lived on my own. I lived in a studio from 2007-2011, which had a hallway, huge closets, and a humongous bathroom. The grounds were kept immaculately and the location was sheer perfection. Maintenance were very friendly gentlemen. When my fridge stopped working, they were quick to replace it with a newer one. When the ceiling fell out in the kitchen, they fixed it too. I used to walk to Stop and Shop, CVS, Dunkin' Donuts, and Boston Market all the time. The Chinese restaurant, Tasty, was a delicious convenience for me. They would throw two parties a year; a holiday and a summer cookout! The leasing office for the most part was very nice to me, except when I tried to negotiate the price. A bus stop is in front of the complex in case you don't have a car. The one-star deduction was for the price. These are very, very expensive apartments. The starting price for the studio is about two hundred dollars more per month than my last year rent. For the price, they should include a hot tub in the pool area and built a gym in the basement. Though I felt like I had no disposable income when I lived there, I felt it was worth living in a safe, convenient and beautiful place. I moved out solely because I could not afford (and I had decidedly to move in with my boyfriend). I do recommend Westgate if you make lots of $$$$$, but don't want the commitment of home ownership. Westgate was a wonderful experience for me.
