Jason M. and I lived in Pebblebrook when we first started to live together. It was a wonderful…read morecouple of years. I agree with my now fiance that Pebblebrook is not perfect, but considering how expensive safe housing is in the Hartford area, you are not going to get any better of a value. I recommend that if you are visiting Pebblebrook, go to Rent.com and/or Apartmentratings.com and submit an inquire because if you sign a lease, then you get a $100 Visa gift card. My recommendation with Pebblebrook is to try to get a unit in the H complex because the sunlight hits the area perfectly whereas for the other units, it can get dark easily. Also, it is a lot quieter because you are not near the pool. I loved having a balcony because we often had dinners there during the summer. The apartment was very spacious and we were able to have a couple of Seders. I loved having a walk-in closet in the master bedroom. Right now, the foyer is getting a facelift with new paint, lighting, and glass doors. Maintenance was always there when we needed some repairs. Even though it was in New Britain, I never felt that I was living there. People assumed that I lived in Farmington or West Hartford because it was so close to the West Farms area. At the same time, I loved walking up the Brittany Farms loop because it was so quiet.

Like all apartments, this place has its pros and cons. I've lived here for 3 years. This is…read moreprobably more of a 3.5 star place, but they were honest with my security deposit so I rounded up. Pros: The maintenance guys I've interacted with have been friendly; I haven't needed many requests filled but when I was having car problems one of them (Chris?) went above and beyond Never lived in an apartment complex with such excellent snow removal - the contractors they use for the job are excellent Safe neighborhood - kind of isolated up in the hills, haven't heard of any major crime issues during my stay here. Spacious apartments - the largest 2 bdr I've lived in by far They've really worked to get people to clean up after their pets, stop leaving trash out, and in my time here the complex has been fairly neat The carports are clutch in the winter. Large storage space below each apartment too. Included heat is absolutely huge in the winter Cons: The rent increases: the old team tried to hike the price by $100 a month, which is absurd. They'll negotiate with you, but considering these apartments are pricey as it is, this seems like a poor way to promote continuity. Management is extremely hard to get hold of. They rarely pick up the phone, and I've sent multiple emails with no response over the years. This applied to the old and the new management. If you need to talk to them about something, you have to go in person. Could probably benefit from an extra dumpster, this one tends to get full towards the end of the week Some maintenance requests can take a while - a washer kept repeatedly breaking down and it usually took weeks to get a fix. It broke down 4-5 times and they continued to try to fix it instead of getting a replacement. Poor ratio of laundry:tenants. Makes it hard to get a washer/dryer on the weekends. It seems like most winters the hot water goes out at least once (and the heat with it). This is usually fixed within 3-5 hours, but can be a minor inconvenience. They're usually on top of it though. Neutral: The apartments aren't new, but with that said, I haven't had many issues/breakdowns as other reviews have mentioned. Maybe I just got lucky. OVERALL: I've been happy for 3 years. A solid average apartment complex in a decent neighborhood that's probably a bit overpriced but gets the job done and has its perks (included heat, carport). You can probably find cheaper places in the area with similar quality, but I have no major complaints after 3 years. UPDATE: After having completed my move out, I was pleasantly surprised to find they returned all of my security deposit. I've had shady landlords in the past try to take all their cleaning costs out of my deposit, but Summit & Birch was honest and professional in that regard.

DO NOT MOVE HERE…read more Management regularly gives short notice for entry (often less than 24 hours) and then doesn't show up as scheduled, sometimes appearing days later without warning. They are nearly impossible to reach by phone; calls are usually routed to third-party customer service that can't resolve issues and promises follow-ups that never happen. Rent increases with every renewal, yet ongoing maintenance issues are rarely addressed. There is widespread mold throughout common areas and units. Essential systems frequently break, including elevators, heat, AC, and laundry machines. The building infrastructure is extremely outdated, and failures are often blamed on the age of the property rather than properly fixed. The carport has severe structural damage, is now condemned, and has caused falling debris and pipe damage--yet residents are still charged $75 per parking spot. Snow removal is inconsistent, sometimes making it impossible to leave for work. Mail and packages are frequently stolen due to poor security. Trash chutes regularly overflow. Laundry costs have increased multiple times (now ~$3.90 per load), but machines are inefficient and often require multiple cycles. Elevators have been out of service for weeks at a time and continue to break down. Most recently, large portions of the property have been without water for over a week. Residents were given conflicting information, encouraged to stay instead of using hotels, and then left without updates or reliable communication. Overall, the property appears too old and poorly managed to be properly maintained, and residents consistently bear the consequences. There are many more issues, but this should be enough to strongly encourage anyone considering this property to take existing reviews seriously. I wish we had.

I had an infestation of carpenter ants, appliances constantly, breaking and never working, terrible maintenance, women in the office are rude and don't care, never slept because of the noise. other tenants are scary, and I would not recommend living here if you are a young woman, or honestly a woman at all. I was stalked by one of the tenants in a nearby building. One time had paint thrown on my car and multiple other cars as well in the parking lot and because they only have a couple working cameras nothing was done. I also heard a car getting stolen from the parking lot before. There's rats on my patio ( I lived on the first floor) that lived in my outdoor closet. Not to mention this is the noisiest apartment you will ever be in. Plan on never sleeping, you hear every sound from your upstairs neighbors. If you can somehow get a third floor apartment with all brand new appliances, that's the only way I would say this place would be halfway tolerable. One time had my bathroom fill with murky black water and they had to cut a hole in my wall to fix it, but never repaired the hole. Dishwasher flooded all over the carpet and it took two weeks for someone to come "fix" it, but it never worked after that. To be fair it never really worked before then. Appliances are from the 90s if you're lucky and the 80s if you're not. The unit also stunk of cigarettes when U moved in. Terrible and disgusting apartments that also may or may not have lead paint on the walls.
