It's $90 per night in the parking garage for guests! The material is so cheap! Every day the oven toilet seats and pipes break! No special amenities for the price they charge! The WORST problem is they have a sewage collector truck that comes to the parking weekly, and sucks the sewage out! This will leave the entire parking and hallways smell like *****SHIT***** for two days! And the dogs!! Pee right in front of the entrance of the building! You pay $7000 for a 2 bedroom but smell a very strong urine in the summer outside your building entrance and on the elevator in the winter! They never power wash the front of the building! Because the dogs pee there again! They just cover it up with spraying chemicals! The dryers don't have a vent! So your clothes will never fully dry! I regret choosing this building big time! All other seaport buildings power wash the front for the dog pee except this one! Low budget!

Do not live here. Management gave two strangers my apartment key and let them walk into my room…read morewhile I was studying. I saw them enter with a key, and my boyfriend chased them down where they even showed us a text from the building telling them to tour my apartment while I was still living there. Management tried to blame me, saying I had not locked my door, and Jennifer never once took responsibility. Every time I called, she claimed they were "investigating" and said their records showed no one took the key, even though I witnessed it. Ken at the front desk was the one who gave them the key, and after we reported it, he was rude and dismissive with no apology. On top of that, the air conditioning broke constantly, maintenance was a nightmare to get, the package system is a disaster, the walls are paper thin, and the "smoke free" building reeks of weed. Complaints go ignored. Save yourself the stress and money. This place is unsafe, unprofessional, and not worth it. As you see below, no accountability still, add the records. I had no air for a day in 86 degree weather, but thanks for trying. And changing keys doesn't change the fact that someone was allowed inside the apartment!

I have lived here since spring of last year, and I just want to say I have never encountered staff…read morethat is as timely, efficient, accommodating, and friendly. The building manager Chris, treats you like a friendly neighbor. He goes above and beyond to make sure loose ends are tied up and is constantly on top of everything if there is ever any problems. The maintenance staff is quick to respond and usually comes sooner than 24 business hours to fix any problem we encounter. When we wanted to mount our TV to the wall and we asked for their assistance/recommendation to prevent damage, they exceeded our expectations in taking the time to work with us and even let us borrow some of their tools. The common areas of the buildings are well maintained. The free coffee in the main common room lounge is a godsend when you run out of coffee at home. When we first moved in here they gave us a housewarming box of goodies and they also have seasonal parties make living here more like a community. The sidewalks of the camelot property are groomed almost on a daily basis to remove debris. The gardens are updated every season and we get updated indoor entry way planters each season. Desk service with camera security make living less stressful knowing that my likelihood of having packages stolen or having a break in is rare. In addition, the free guest parking allows us to have family and friends over without the stress of finding parking for them. I have never had a pest problem once living here and all the common areas including the hallways are cleaned on a daily basis. In terms of negative things, there are few and far between to mention that we hadn't encountered or would encounter at another complex. Its fairly easy to hear people in the hallway or in other rooms in your own apartment unit but I have never encountered the noise of late night partiers. The gym is small but it is free to residents. The laundry occasionally will provide minor inconveniences like lost socks and clogs in the washers from people using pods. You can't control the heat in your apartment which kind of stinks but we have never had a problem where we were cold and if it does get too hot we usually just crack a window with no problem. All things considered, with all the small things this complex does for its residents, it far outweighs and makes up for the minor drawbacks it has and puts Camelot at a competitive price to nearby luxury complexes.

I had a beautiful view (didn't come cheap) but it was worth it very penny. The pool is beautiful - a great social scene and the best in seaport. the tenants are young professionals which is great for networking. They do have some great first time move incentive rent packages which are also generous. I'd live here again And def recommend it. Only thing I'd improve on (which didn't require a drop in the ratings) would be having more electric vehicle charging stations - as I had to wait a while to get one. I do believe this is in the works.

Everything must be done on the website, where the rent price can literally change by the minute. The agents in the office basically can't do anything so the process is so impersonal, and forget asking questions. Agents take days off (which is obv fine) but emails aren't monitored by the group, and phone calls aren't promptly returned. It feels like it's being run by a group of high school students. Overall, the apartment is nice but fyi the laundry machines are apartment size and the dryer cycle takes a minimum of 2 hrs which maintenance says is normal. The parking garage is convenient but not monitored. The walls are also thinner than our last apartment. We moved from The Alyx to save a little bit but now realize why The Alyx is more expensive. You get what you pay for! Better agents, nicer finishes, full size machines, and great concierge and parking attendants. Hope to move back there soon.

They also give you roughly 65 days notice when increasing your rent before your lease is up, and ask for 60 days notice on a renewal. Makes sense!

Isabella and team is ultra professional and very responsive to resident"s needs and concerns. Location is superb, there is a nice gym , plenty of common open spaces to walk and hang out. Building is pretty and windows are huge- they do have a garage next door and some construction nearby in the seaport area. I never had an issue with noise and I am a light sleeper. Front desk staff is extremely helpful and friendly. They went out of the way to send my mails when I moved out few months ago ( due to revolution in a different city). Very much appreciated. They even found a tenant as I had to leave earlier than my lease expired, and saved $$ for me. Maintenance is awesome and quick. You don't have to worry about anything 24:7 pretty much. Very clean and well designed. I can appreciate them even more now that I have moved to another apartment and the management is not even close. When I was looking to rent in seaport area last year, I saw a number of places. This place gives you maximum for your buck! Highly recommended any day. They can be a bit pricey than some newer places but they are worth it.

The management staff - from office to maintenance - is exceptional and caters to the residents with an environment that is safe, clean, efficient, and neighborly. I love the architectural details of my apartment and my view. It continues to be the place I choose to live! The location is ideal for anywhere you need to be - there is quick access to highways, as well as back roads. So many great restaurants in the area, and being a stone's throw from Boston (via car, the T, or boat) affords the best of what the city has to offer. Quincy Center brings history back to life - it is the city of Presidents and proudly celebrates it. Quincy offers the ocean, marshes, captain's houses, ethnic neighborhoods, incredible festivities for so many American and ethnic holidays. It is genuinely a welcoming city for all.

Living in this apartment building was an extremely frustrating experience due to ongoing…read moremismanagement and persistent building failures. Despite being marketed as a well‑managed community, the reality fell far short of those claims. Management was incompetent and appeared incapable of operating the property at even a basic level. Issues were allowed to linger indefinitely, with little evidence of proactive oversight, organization, or accountability. Maintenance problems were constant throughout my time here. Elevators were frequently out of service for extended periods, garage entrances repeatedly broke and remained unfixed, and HVAC systems were unreliable. These were not isolated issues but recurring failures that directly interfered with daily life and convenience. Noise was another significant problem. The building has virtually no sound insulation, making it impossible to escape your neighbors. Hearing screaming children and excessive noise through the walls at all hours was common. To make matters worse, these same residents routinely filed noise complaints against others, despite the volume coming from their own unit--an issue management failed to address fairly or effectively. Amenities were underwhelming given the rent being charged. The fitness center was minimal, and management would suddenly impose restricted hours, further reducing the already limited value of the amenities. Overall, this building failed to deliver a reasonable living experience for the price. Between constant maintenance failures, incompetent management, excessive noise, and unreliable amenities, I would not recommend living here and would never rent from this management again.

The leasing office (Lindsay in particular) is kind, knowledgeable, prompt, and accommodating. Facilities: Modern, energy efficient, and well maintained equipment fills the building be it in the gym or your kitchen appliances. Parking garage is spacious as is the lobby and common living area. The gym can be a bit tight during peak times but that is infrequent. The rooftop deck is always in good order and was my favorite part of living at Chroma. The package concierge is also incredible! Location: Unlike the other reviews, I was reliant on my vehicle rather than the T. Being close to the pike was very helpful and the community was vibrant but also quiet (except the rooster nearby which we occasionally heard - still wondering how that pans out). I liked it overall. Overall, I moved out due to extenuating circumstances but once my current lease expires Chroma will be right at the top of my list. Everything went well from a warm welcome to a fond farewell and hopefully you'll find the same pleasure and comfort which I did.

Renters beware. Lease at your own risk…read more Once you have signed your lease, the rental office is your adversary. Your rent will increase significantly each year. Ending your lease early is next to impossible. I was told, in writing, that (a) my lease may not be assigned under any circumstances, (b) my apartment may not be sublet under any circumstances, (c) in order to break my lease I owe 4 months' rent (2 months' notice plus a lump sum payment equal to 2 months' rent) and (d) these terms may not be amended or modified in good faith under any circumstances. My current rent is approximately $500 lower than what similar apartments in the same building are listed for and the rental office still will not work with me even though InkBlock stands to gain from ending my lease early and re-leasing my apartment. I have lived in Boston area for over 10 years and in that time I have rented in multiple apartment buildings, including apartments in other luxury buildings. I have never been treated worse by a landlord/leasing office than I have been by the leasing office at InkBlock. I would not recommend leasing an apartment here under any circumstances.
