This is a review for the princeton property apartments in Lowell (imperial gardens)…read morePros: 1.Move in rent is low. 2.Heat, hot water and gas for cooking is included. 3.They have an online portal to request maintenance. You can also call, and they enter it for you right away. The maintenance crew usually very prompt. For almost all my maintenance requests, the turn around was with 48 hours. 4.There is a nice swimming pool that's open in summer. Cons: 1. Severe roach and mice problem. Roaches are there all the time, no matter how clean you keep your apartment. On top of roaches, in winter you have mice coming in thru heating ducts and holes in the wall behind the stove in the kitchen. I have had mice problems in both this winter and last winter. If you call maintenance about mice, they seem to get a little hostile over the phone. Last time when I complained about mice, they told me that their pest control guy comes only once a week and I have to wait for him. He came once, didn't find anything and he left without doing anything. Again while cooking, I see a little mouse that comes out from behind the control panel of the oven and then run back in. I call back again and they tell me to wait for another one more week before he comes again. And they also told me that all he can do is set traps. If he doesn't catch it, there is nothing they can do. Long story short: Be prepared to share your apartment with mice and roaches. 2. When I moved in my rent was around $950/month. In 2 years they raised it to about $1250/month. I was signing leases shorter than a year and they increase rent with every lease. So right now I am paying about $1250 for a one bedroom mice/roach infested apartment in Lowell! 3. Its happened at least 2 times (probably more) in my last 2 years of stay where they suddenly switched off hot water in the morning. When I call them they tell me that the guys who fix hot water come without notice and there is nothing they can do. Also one time they shut water off altogether (again in winter). I had to get out for work, so I go to local CVS and get a few gallons of water so that I could take a quick shower before leaving for work.

The property manager for one. This is the property up in New Hampshire Boulder Park. They take your…read moremoney before you get a chance to see your apartment. They'll show you an apartment, but trust me it's not the one you're going to get. The one you're going to get is basically pretty shabby looking. If you want one that's been refurbished you're going to be paying probably about 200 bucks more a month. This frequent breakdowns. They're very slow in fixing them until you threaten to call the city and have them come out then they fix them. The other thing they do is that there's a condominium complex above them. They encourage the apartment residents to walk up into the condo association with their dogs. They don't clean up after their dogs and it's disgusting. And the simple thing they could do is they've not done is they could put a notice on all of the buildings they have that's saying do not go up into the condominiums that's private property. They don't do that. They actually subtly encourage you to go up there which is just ridiculous. And the fact is there's an awful lot of section 8 housing in there so you can imagine the type of quality people that are walking up into the condos.

DO NOT HIRE THEM. Joseph, the guy in charge of the movers, is extremely opportunistic and will take…read moreadvantage to charge you more whenever possible. The movers were supposed to arrive between 10 am and 12 pm, and they ended up arriving at 1:54 pm. The worst of it all: they didn't have any equipment whatsoever with them. I had to go to UHaul to buy them a dolly. The work was supposed to last 2 hours for a 1 bedroom apartment. In reality it took 3 hours and 30 min mainly because the movers didn't have the equipment necessary to do their job. At the end, Joseph ended up charging for 2 extra hours because they like to "round up" their service. When confronted in the phone for their lack of preparation and dollies, Joseph didn't take any accountability and hang up the phone.

If you are a non-smoker, you DO NOT want to move here. I notified management over three months ago…read morethat the chain smoker downstairs was filling my apartment and patio with smoke, and they have done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to fix the situation, except tell me how they can't stop her from smoking. I work from home, and I literally have to keep all my windows and patio door closed, because she smokes alllll day long. The management company's solution? I should move to another unit, at my own expense, with zero guarantees there isn't another smoker below. If you expect to breathe clean air in your home, without secondhand smoke, this is not the place for you.

Hancock Building Associates and their team did an outstanding job on our home remodel and addition…read more From the very beginning, Darrell, Kevin, and the entire crew were professional, responsive, and incredibly detail-oriented. The project was exceptionally well planned, and they completed it ahead of schedule with exceptional quality and craftsmanship. We especially appreciated how thoughtfully they worked around our family while we continued living in half of the house -- that flexibility made the project affordable and manageable for us. Throughout the process, Hancock seamlessly coordinated with our architect and structural engineer, showing great flexibility and a true commitment to quality. The results have been amazing -- we're already making full use of the new space, and neighbors have been stopping by with compliments, with several saying they're planning to hire Hancock themselves after seeing the impressive work and speed of completion. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and would not hesitate to recommend Darrell and the Hancock Building Associates team to anyone considering a project in the area. We'd definitely work with them again!
