We lived here when my husband was stationed at the SUBASE nearby and we had a wonderful experience!…read moreUsually I don't prefer to live in an apartment but Groton Towers is not your usual apartment complex! First of all there are only two buildings so you're not overwhelmingly surrounded by tons of people, it's a small close not community who all looks out for each other. I made 3 life long friends who I met in the halls of Groton Towers. These neighbors were so kind as we even ended up sharing thanksgiving with one of them who also happened to be a military family who moved here from Ga and didn't know anyone in the area (we are from FL). The doors are all locked so in order for anyone to get in they have to be a resident and have a key. They snow plow everything for free, heating is usually included in rent and the best heating system ever! The sidewalks are always salted and the maintenance staff is super responsive and helpful! When we moved in our walk unit had something small on it broke, but when the maintenance saw it instead of fixing the older unit, they put a brand new remote controlled one in! Karen is a kind and thoughtful landlord, the best of which I've ever had the pleasure of meeting! She always had treats in her office for everyone and was constantly planning activities for the kids for the holidays! My daughter would always bug me every time we came through the front doors to grab snacks and say hi to Karen! We still miss her even after moving a year and a half ago.

So I've been living here for 10 months. Here's my list of pros and cons for people thinking about…read moremoving in: Pro: location is great really. there are two plazas about a half mile away. So within walking distance you have shoprite, petsmart, marshalls, staples, homegoods, bank of america, dime bank, liquor store, dennys, texas roadhouse, chilies, outback, a Chinese buffet, etc. its a short drive to ocean state job lot, ALDI, stop and shop, home depot, lowes, walmart, BJs and crystal mall. You shouldn't have to drive far for anything. Its also a reasonable commute to all those places and Millstone power station, the groton sub base, UCONN avery point, electric boat, etc. there is a beach nearby, Ocean beach park which is nice. Its not Cocoa beach or Myrtle beach or whatever but its nice for what it is and youre close to the beach! There also are several state parks within a short drive, like Harkness state park. There also is a gas station at the entrance to the complex. So yeah they have location figured out. Pro: there seems to always be parking. They have parking lots in front of the buildings and they are plowed. The walkways are shoveled and salted. You know last year i fell a couple times on sheets of ice. This year they've done a good job at keeping the walkways clear. Con: my car was hit in the parking lot. They don't have cameras so there really isn't much they can do when this happens. Its a shared parking lot so there is only so much you can do. Bad luck happens i guess. You wish they had the parking lots covered with cameras tho. It was $892 in damage. Oh and people park on the street right by the parking lot entrance/exit so it is very hard to see when you get out. Con: electric heating here so your utility bill will be more expensive than it was if you've had gas heat before. Pro: but the insulation is great. Last apartment was cheaper due to gas heat but the bedroom was always freezing because of shitty insulation around the windows in there and lack of a bedroom thermostat. I do not have that problem here. They do have separate thermostats in the bedroom and living room which helps. Also the heater broke during the winter and was fixed within 24 hours. The living room and bedroom are separate so we were only without one of two for less than a day. Maintenance is definetly a pro. They respond in a reasonable amount of time and if you only want them to enter when you are home they will respect that. Mixed: they have some amenities. They have a tiny gym but its something. They have a nice pool but its only open when staff is there. So come September when not every day is nice but a lot of them are, they'll be closing that pool at 3pm on a Sunday when its warm and sunny out. Its a nice pool tho. They even have showers/bathrooms by the pool so you can dry off and change before going back to your room. They have a little area with some planters outside the pool in the corner which is nice although you could buy something and put it on your porch. They have a little park area near there with like 2-3 benches and 2 grills and a playground. The area is kinda small but it gives you a place you can grill since you aren't allowed to do that in the porch. They also have a little dog park. Tiny but nice for people with pets. Of course they pay a pet rent. Amenities here are definitely a mixed bag. You also pay a convenience fee. Idk what that is for another than snow removal for 4 months of the year but it has been good this year. There is also a trash removal fee. They have a large dumpster on site which is convenient. Laundry is another mixed bag. It uses a card instead of quarters and the price is reasonable tho the machines are small and the dryers only do 60 minute loads so if you need another 10-15 minutes too bad. You're paying for an hour. Ive never seen that at a laundromat ever. Con: speaking of the pet policy, um it kind of sucks. You pay a non-refundable pet deposit and then extra rent ontop of that. This is for a cat or dog. I think they have breed restrictions too (pitbulls?). On the bright side fish and reptiles are cool since they live in tanks there is no pet rent for them. If you have a bearded dragon they're cool with your heat lamps. Some places consider that a fire hazard. I zip tie mine so they cant be knocked over. Nutmeg woods is cool with anything other than a cat or dog, then they charge you. Pro: Cleanliness is good here. No issues with mice or anything like that thankfully. No issues with mold in weird places. There is a spot on the wall with water damage but I've told them about this and it seems like it can't be easily fixed. Water is somehow getting back there when it rains. They basically took a look and told me to let them know if i see any signs of mold which i have not. Pro: neighbors are good for the most part, except for my car being hit. I haven't had any issues with anyone at all. People are quiet at least in my area. No issues with theft so far. .

Since you only get a small mail box at the apartment, was afraid about having packages left out. But you can have them delivered to the main office and they let you know when they come. For the price, its nice.

Groton Estates was my home-away-from-home for close to seven (7) months…read more I recognize some online comments are pretty rough. I chalk it up as normal for New England people that are known for their frank, in-your-face, unvarnished opinions. In fairness, Groton Estates is an established complex that is a dominant part of a coastal apartment community, consisting of brick colonial style apartment homes, providing an affordable home for people living and working in the area. I appreciated the staff the most. Here are some highlights: PEOPLE: The ladies who manage the property face with many people of all walks of life. In my opinion, they are the heroes that maintain a professional composure and fortitude even with upset clientele. Yet they march on, being courteous and gracious to the newcomer whatever their background. During the walk through, the management lady explained this unit had a new carpet, a new kitchen sink fixture, and a welcome home package complete with a "Welcome Home" note. When you're scrambling to move, that won't hit you until later on. When it hit me, I thought wow, that was a nice touch! OPERATIONS: As for me, I was able to make contact the first time (860-445-8519). Visited on a Saturday, saw the model, and agreed the contract terms, application fee ($30), deposit ($800), and a prorated rent for a portion of the first month that remained. Yes, I had to wait three or four days, but moved in right away. Discovered later that time was required to paint, clean, and install a couple things that needed replacement. Apartment maintenance - First class. I either emailed, phoned, or visited the office and got immediate service the next business day. Mail - delivered directly to apartment unit, and packages can be safely held by the office. Parking - no problem if you have one vehicle. Be courteous if your unit has a handicap spot. The tow truck can be very expensive, and can ruin your day. Snow removal - Excellent in the parking areas and the walkways. TECHNOLOGY: (1) Rent is due on the 10th. However, paying by check on the first of the month will reflect well on your credit rating. They also offer electronic transfer arrangements too. (2) Free internet. Yes, the internet is free! But if you wish to protect your personal identification, you should configure a VPN for all your connections, or you should pay for your own internet service provider (the monthly charge for Xfinity was $40/month). The latter, requires a MODEM / WIFI router that has been locked-down (white listed connections, etc). (3) LaundryConnect is the wifi service for the washer and dryer machines. A well-kept laundry facility, centralized within on Groton Estates. Bottom line: Groton Estates is a decent place to live with great staff. Positive relationships are possible with time! A word about online comments. As mentioned above, the typical New Englander doesn't mince words. No doubt, the "old salt" - sailors from the whaling industry or those from the Navy ("Arg, Matie"), continue to have a strong influence today. At Groton Estates, you'll definitely experience today's multicultural social fabric of the 21st century laced with old "old salt" sailors that lived long ago in an unforgiving day and age. This is Groton. Groton grew out of an old seaport village that is now a city and a modern-day maritime community that still includes large shipyard and boating amenities combined. 150 or 200 years ago Groton and New London were considered the second largest whaling port in the world. During the revolution, it was also home to the Battle of Groton Heights (also known as the Battle of Fort Griswold, or the Fort Griswold Massacre). Namesakes of those patriots that died defending the land still live on. Appreciating New England is to muse on the past and to consider the similarities of the social fabric generations ago. I recommend reading The Groton Times, a free newspaper delivered to Groton Estates, that publishes historical articles from time to time. It's a precious resource; teachers, historians, and other volunteer writers contribute some fascinating articles. Here is such an article that was broken up across three weekly editions: https://www.theday.com/local-news/20220209/history-revisited-whodunnit-from-grotons-past

I've encountered a handful of issues while staying at Gull Harbor but Lissette was skillful enough to handle them professionally and thoroughly. There are still a few kinks they need to sort out, which is why I've left a 3-star review. Shout-out to maintenance for being awesome 24/7. This place used to be a mess (still kind of is: smoke smell lingering in hallway, random poop/chocolate ice-cream incident, noisy plumbing, deteriorating internals), but it is MUCH better today considering the renovations happening everyday. Most of the folks that I've interacted with are reserved at first but social after multiple occurrences.

If your looking for some peace and quiet, this is definitely not the place, also I've been waiting for god knows how long for my balcony to be fixed and painted, not too mention work needed inside the apartment as well. HOPEFULLY THIS REVIEW GETS TO THE RIGHT PERSON AND SOME MUCH NEEDED CHANGES CAN BE ATTENDED TOO. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!

I lived here for almost three years, I can honestly say that the biggest issue with this complex…read moreisn't the apartments, it's the management. There have been numerous reports of theft in my building, yet management's response has consistently been to tell residents to "file a police report" while refusing to install cameras in areas where theft continues to occur. My vehicle was even hit on the property, and because there were no cameras, there was no way to identify who did it. It's frustrating to see ongoing security concerns ignored while tenants are left to deal with the consequences. The rent increases are another major issue. Every lease renewal seemed to come with an increase of $100-$300 despite no noticeable improvements to the property. On top of that, management seemed to find new ways to add charges and fees over time. At one point, they decided to change the locks throughout the complex and then passed that cost on to residents. Additional amenity fees and other charges were added despite tenants never requesting these changes. It felt like every renewal came with another excuse to charge more while providing the same level of service. Cheryl and the management team were by far the most frustrating part of living here. Cheryl seemed to prefer in-person meetings whenever concerns were raised, but the moment you disagreed or had a different opinion, those conversations often became argumentative. It also felt like important discussions were intentionally kept off email, leaving little to no paper trail when issues later came into question. Conversations would be forgotten, information would get lost, and tenants were often left repeating themselves because management couldn't stay organized. Professional communication and record-keeping should not be this difficult. As a military member, I was asked for my LES and income verification multiple times because the office couldn't keep track of documents that had already been provided. The lack of organization was honestly shocking. Having to repeatedly submit the same paperwork because management lost track of it was both frustrating and unprofessional. The final straw was when we requested a one-day extension after our apartment was completely moved out because we could not checkout of our command on a Sunday. The apartment was empty, cleaned, and ready to be turned over. We weren't asking for a week or even a few extra days, just one day. Despite that, management refused to work with us or show any flexibility. After nearly three years as residents, the complete lack of understanding for military obligations was disappointing. After we moved out, management attempted to charge us for a full carpet replacement, claiming there was "pet odor" throughout the apartment. When I requested proof or documentation supporting that claim, none was provided. We had lived there for nearly three years, cleaned the apartment before leaving, and yet were still presented with a significant charge based on an allegation that could not be substantiated. After I disputed the charge and requested supporting evidence, management ultimately returned our full security deposit. That experience only reinforced my concerns about how quickly tenants can be charged without clear documentation or proof. The only reason this review isn't even worse is because of the maintenance staff. They were always professional, responsive, and hardworking. They consistently kept the property maintained and were often more helpful than the management office itself. They deserve recognition because they are the one bright spot in an otherwise frustrating experience. Overall, after nearly three years of living here, I found this complex to be overpriced, poorly managed, disorganized, and unwilling to address ongoing security concerns. Between the repeated rent increases, added fees, lack of security, poor communication, questionable move-out charges, and unwillingness to work with military residents, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere. The maintenance team deserves five stars, but management earns one.

We loved living here. When we moved in February of 2023, we were finally at peace after a few crazy…read moreyears. When we moved in, I was attacked by the moving company we hired, and was very stressed. I also got sick and had to have emergency surgery. I was smoking weed, as I have a medical card, and it's a legal substance in this state. The property manager Cheryl and I got off to a terrible start, with her telling me we would be kicked out if I smoked weed, and I could sit down with them and tell them why I smoke weed and maybe she would make an exception, so for 3 weeks I went without my medical weed that I smoked for anxiety. She told me "we have great lawyers, we don't want all that weed stuff here" I was admittedly very excitable during this time, and probably down right rude. We got a letter saying we would be kicked out if I did not stop, and a few weeks later "sorry, you can smoke weed. We weren't aware of the laws" (that had been in place for YEARS at this point) We went two years with no issues. We paid our rent on time every month. We don't even stay here a lot as we travel often. We got a letter on our door on Christmas Eve letting us know we have to move in February. If this isn't retaliation and discrimination, I'm not sure what is. I would be very weary of living here. We are on the first floor and the front door to the building shakes so hard, pictures fall off our walls. And for 2 years, they did nothing. The post office has told me they are not up to code with the way packages get delivered, and things get stolen regularly. Oh and don't complain about office staff in front of the dudes that fly around the properly pretty fast on those golf carts, aren't very polite and take forever to fix things. They're all related and friends. So you also can't complain to the office about work done in your home either. Nepotism at its finest for sure. I guess we're being kicked out because we complained about simple problems and smoke weed, and spoke up about the issues we had about it. Yikes Can't find another reason. Like I said, discrimination and retaliation. I'm sure we will be getting a whopping $0 of our security deposit
