We have recently moved into One Canal and love this building. The staff is very friendly and the…read moreapartment itself is awesome. Brand new, floor to ceiling windows, and a great kitchen with modern features. I also really appreciate the three closets and the subway tile in the shower. Our dog Walter, loves the balcony in our apartment and the dog park for quick trips outside. Overall, we are excited to call One Canal our new home. Being new to Boston, it's been nice to be near the train to explore the rest of the city. And we love that Little Italy restaurants are so close!

The photos on the website are deceiving - the "dog park" is not the one pictured at all. In fact…read moreit's half the size as the one in the photo. They use AstroTurf and the feces and urine from tons of dogs just sinks in - It smells horrible and is too small for the size of the building. Plus a lot of the dog owners don't pick up after their dogs. The rent is high enough but they charged me an additional $565 per month for a parking space, $75/ month for my dog, $50/month for the mailroom and $10/day for any day that I didn't pick up a FedEx envelop when I was traveling. Plus water, utilities, etc. The dishwasher was low end and didn't clean my dishes. The washer and dryer in the 2 bedroom was so small I could only do half loads of laundry at a time. The spaces in the parking garage are too small for anything but a compact car and driving up and down the ramps and around corners is a disaster. So many people have hit the barriers and bars, they are colored with paint from the various cars that live there. The sides of my car my mirrors were damaged multiple times and I'm having it fixed once I move out. The pool is only 3.5 feet deep and is always so crowded you can't move around. Also, tenants reserve chairs by putting towels down and then take off for hours leaving the chairs unoccupied but "taken". If you were hoping to do laps here, forget it. It's like Spring Break in Florida, people on top of each other. The location is great but...there are a lot of homeless people and drugs there. Not unusual to see human feces on the sidewalk, people drugged out of their minds yelling, passing out, and overdosing. Also, when there are games and concerts at the Garden, it gets very loud when the crowds get out. And last by not least, there is constant construction in the area, which starts off early morning and is very loud. The concierge staff is great but even they can't make up for all the stuff that is wrong with this place.

I have bought my primary residence and subsequently multiple rental properties through Gilmore…read moreMurphy Realty, who is now also managing my rentals. They say a returning client is the highest compliment you can get, which in my case is absolutely true. The owner, Leigh Gilmore, simply outclassed, outsmarted and just outworked the other buyers' realtors to make sure my offers got accepted, not once but four times. She's done so often to her own detriment and truly lives up to the mantra of putting her clients first. I've recommended her to close friends and they have had similar experiences. Having witnessed her character, I know she would cultivate a culture at Gilmore Murphy Realty, so it wouldn't matter with which realtor of her agency you deal with, you'll have the same stellar experience that I had. I can only wish the competition luck ;).

My year living at The Groves in Milford was, in my experience, the worst year I've ever spent…read moreliving in an apartment complex. You pay luxury prices to be treated terribly. We spent the whole year complaining about the unlivable heat in the apartment (due to living on top of the boiler room), spending huge electric bills to counteract the heat, having to use AC units year round, and dealing with disruptive neighbors around the clock. I could go on forever about all of the awful experiences I had living here, from children running loose in the parking lot asking me for money to buy bikes, to management being impossible to contact unless you're lucky enough to go to the office when they're actually in person. However, I only have so much precious time left on earth. If you're moving to Milford, go ANYWHERE ELSE!! This place is not worth it for the treatment and experience you will receive.

I truthfully have a hard time finding a single positive experience I had living in this apartment…read morecomplex. This review reflects my honest personal experience living in this apartment, and all statements are based on what I personally observed and experienced. I have never been this dissatisfied by an apartment. I have never felt so unheard by management when experiencing a major issue with my apartment. We paid luxury prices for one of the worst apartment experiences I've had in over a decade. Within a week of moving here, we knew we had made the wrong decision renting at the Groves. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. I found the leasing office extremely difficult to work with, and we felt our concerns were not addressed in a timely or effective way. It has been a maddening experience trying to resolve any issues with them, and the back and forth has been incredibly frustrating. You can only talk to them directly IN PERSON because their phone system reroutes you to a call center. It has been a nightmare for us trying to get our deposit back. Here's a short list of things we dealt with during the one year we rented here: * Our apartment frequently felt overheated, especially due to the boiler room below us. * We noticed thin walls that sound traveled through very well. We heard frequent dog barking and children screaming. * We frequently noticed strong odors in the hallways, including what smelled like marijuana. * We heard kids screaming outside nearly all day long from the school nearby. * We saw roaming groups of children and teens riding their bikes and playing in the active parking lots at all hours of the day and night, including throwing balls near the cars. * We often observed outside access doors being propped open, which made us feel the building was less secure and led to a solicitor coming to our door. I feel I could talk endlessly about the cons of living at this complex. We were not able to rent the apartment we initially chose that appeared as available on their website at the time. We ended up having to choose a different apartment because no other units were available within our move-in timeframe. This apartment happened to be the one above a boiler room. We had to run our AC units in January because the colder it was outside, the hotter the boiler room got to heat the other apartments and made our apartment an oven. We had to run multiple fans throughout the apartment in the summer, and it was still a miserable temperature in there. We paid nearly $400 two months in a row on our energy bill just to keep our apartment livable this past year. Mind you, this apartment was less than 1,000 sq ft. When we first moved in, we communicated the overheating issue to the office. We did not receive any meaningful follow-up for about six months. They had an outside contractor put insulation around the pipes that ran right below our floor, but it did not correct the problem. When we were offered to move into another unit, I called my fiancé to make sure we were both okay with that. I tried to call back not even five minutes later and was unable to get a hold of anyone. My fiancé and I tried multiple times to call back that day without success. We also emailed them immediately but were told they had already leased it to someone else in that time. We frequently heard a lot of noise from above us and from the hallways. We often heard dogs barking and babies crying from the other side of the building. Our upstairs neighbors frequently played loud music, and the smell of marijuana made its way into our apartment through shared vents in the bathroom on many occasions. My life has improved in so many ways now that I no longer have to live there. I cannot wait to finally have our deposit back so I can put this entire chapter behind me and never have to talk to these people again. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

We arranged a appointment with Michael Roy assistant property Mgr and he was waiting for us in his rental office on site. Michael was very pofessional, courteous and well dressed. He gave us a tour of the building,and Spa and answered all our questions. Even told us about Ronald McDonald House also on site, which we would love to volunteer our help. Being we own and operate a Real Estate Brokage in Miami we should be qualified judges of what great service should be about and Michael is a wonderful example of that type of person. Thanks again, can't wait to move in to Harborview at the Navy Yard and join their family.

I am genuinely grateful to Mike for sticking with us through such a long and complicated process. His knowledge, patience, kindness, and dedication meant more than he probably realizes.

Martha Convners, Lamacchia Realty…read more I've known Martha for years, even before we were ready to buy our first home. Whenever I had questions about the housing market, she was always the one I'd consult. Martha gave us honest, realistic advice and helped us understand where we needed to be with our credit and down payment goals. She always had a trusted lender or resource ready to connect us with, which made the process so much less overwhelming. When it finally came time to officially start our home search, Martha went above and beyond. She worked long hours and toured multiple properties with us in just one week. Her knowledge of the market was clear, and it was obvious she had earned the respect of other realtors--many of them already knew her well. I truly enjoyed working with Martha. Her responsiveness, professionalism, and strong work ethic made this experience not only manageable but exciting. We're so grateful to have had her by our side during this important step in our lives.
