It is an old mill that has been transformed into multiple different stores, restaurants and services. When we last came in we went to a flea market event, stopped at their arts and crafts store, and then also went into their antique store. We have also stopped here when we needed to go the RMV since it is also housed in the complex. Overall the list of stores, restaurants, and services located in this restored mill are too long to list. It is definitely worth dropping by or checking their website to see all they have to offer. The next time we are in the area we will make it a point to stop in again. Final note, they also rent apartments in this mill which looked incredible.

I had the chance to live at the brand new Kendrick Place as a founding resident from Sep-May…read more Pros: This is the best place to live in Amherst for students/professionals who want upscale apartments that are not owned by UMass. You can read about the amenities online. The staff is incredibly helpful and I got to know them on a first name basis (Bryon, Pamela, Tanya). The location is damned convenient for off campus. I'd almost consider them on campus. Is it pricey? Not if compared to similar housing. A lot of students struggle with comparing the north apartments price to the 1000/month lease price. It should work out to be cheaper, not to mention nicer. Comparing it to puffton is not a valid comparison. If you want the cheapest place, look elsewhere. Cons: To address the zero star review: the apartment was 99% ready when we moved in. The staff had to rush to get it ready for the school year. There were some minor issues with paint and the washer starting out. Despite the heavily advertised fast internet, I had wifi issues thoughtout the year. WIFI has been fixed in May, as I understand. I didn't deduct a star for this because the staff were so helpful and accommodating if any issues came up. Often gave us a gift card if a building issue occurred (these were minor). They seriously aim to please. Summary: Don't just take my word for it, check out the place or their sister building Olympia Pl. If you are looking for competitively priced upscale housing, this is the place.

We brought our son home rather than let him shelter in place since we knew the building would not care about cleaning door handles, elevator buttons, etc. Their definition of luxury - a kitchen exhaust fan that directs cooking fumes straight back into the kitchen. The cabinets above the fan become coated in grease in the first month. Their definition of service; drapes were left partially installed for days, boxes left on the floor when we moved our son in - it took multiple emails to get this resolved. WiFi - intermittent and poor - our son exploded his data plan because the building WiFi was too slow and weak for him to download class projects. Their rents are extortion - we expected a lot more for what we paid.

If you're a dog owner, things get even worse with him around. He's accused me of something my dog didn't do, told me he has personal issues with me & has told me I was being a crappy dog owner. I highly recommend moving into somewhere else unless you want a horrible experience until your lease ends. This place is not worth living for free when putting up with Bryan.

I'm only glad the neighbors in the next unit agreed. With no warning they one day showed up and started building around our porch, apparently with the intent of leaving a single side of the wall open facing the trash. The agent in charge of the property denied knowing this. I am told the town was called to place the stop order that was next to our door for months, and that stories like this are not uncommon. The customer service was not willing to discuss this with us, only started shouting the minute we mentioned why we'd called saying they wouldn't hear this anymore. I don't know if someone else had called them already but this was not the reaction I expected, and they were not polite or reasonable in their conduct.

They will tell you that if you sign your lease early you'll get better preferences (unit style, floor, roommates etc) - not true.

No lie - and THEY DONT CARE. When we complained to mgt, AND the girls parents complained, they just cut and paste responses into emails about 'protected class' and fair housing act. They would not allow her to move! We felt really bad for her. The law states individuals have every right to choose gender when selecting roommates.
