l lived in an apartment at Beacon Square, for nearly a year and a half. And I say, STAY AWAY FROM…read moreTHIS Place!! They are absolute crooks. The property has sort of a tacky, 1970s ambiance. The small studios are carpeted, and come with A/C, a tiny kitchen, and a bathroom. I only moved here, because I was in a pinch, and needed to find a place fast, that was in my price range. The rents they charge, are too much for what you get. An unfurnished studio, starts at $675. Their furnished studios, start at $745. So rent prices, are ridiculous, for studio apts.! They say that they pay for heat, water, and Cable. Keep in mind, that Cable with the local carrier, which is Charter, is only about $6.00 a month. And they have a clever scam, when it comes to their heating practices. First of all, they place a locked barrier over their thermostats in the apts. That way, the tenants can't adjust them. Then they have their thermostats rigged, so that they always show that they're set at 78 degrees, even when you have the A/C on full-blast in the summer. That way, if the tenant should complain to the housing authority, then the landlord can just say 'well, we keep the thermostat set at 78 degrees'. So, because of their heating scam, the tenants end-up having to use space-heaters all winter to keep warm. And this will drive your electricity bills up sky-high! And Beacon Square apts., do NOT pay for the electricity bills for their tenants. Then, they'll tell the tenants that someone will enter their units for repairs, inspections, etc., and then no one shows up. Or if they do, they won't during the legally required business hours. Once, their doofus maintenance guy came banging on my door, before 8AM, to let in some window installers. Also, many times they'll give a tenant notice that someone will enter their units, but then they don't specify a day or time. Once, we had to hang around our apts for 5 straight days, to wait for window installers, since they didn't specify a day or time that they'd enter our units! Then, there's the middle-of-nowhere location of Beacon Square apts. Bus service is practically non-existent in this area, and Chicopee has no cab companies. So if you have no car, DON'T LIVE HERE! I was waiting 2, 3 or even 4 hours for cabs on a regular basis, just to go shopping. That's because I had to resort to calling a cab company located in Springfield, just to get around. And Beacon Square had to regularly bribe tenants to move-in, and/or sign a year's lease. This gives you some idea, as to how desperate they are, for long-term tenants. Don't let them do this to you. Just to emphasis how crooked this complex is, they trumped-up over $500 in bogus,, unsubstantiated 'charges", after I moved out. So when I say that they're sleazy crooks, I know what I'm talking about!

I have lived in the Amherst area for years while working in Springfield and decided to cut down on…read moremy commute. I didn't particularly want to live in Springfield so I decided to check out the surrounding areas and I landed in Chicopee at Beacon Square. The apartment is beautiful and pet friendly so I was able to bring my dog Finn with me. They have a little dog park in the back which is convenient in bad weather but they also aren't far from Buttery Brooke so we frequently take trips over there! While I have definitely had larger apartments I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a spot in the area. If you're familiar with the Chicopee area its right on Memorial drive just past South Hadley so it feels a little safer. Suffice it to say, I am very happy living here and will be staying for the foreseeable future.

Common Fitness room/meeting room was a bonus, as was the convenience of a heated garage I lived at Canyon Ridge beginning in March 2011 and all of 2012 at about $1,300/mo......so roughly, $29,000.00. I honored the management rules......or at least......was not ever notified of any offenses. Encountered only minor inconveniences while living there. Would have rated Canyon Ridge much higher had I not experienced managements excessive over-reach of levying a charge against my damage/security payment, covering a reported (possibly fraudulently so) The charge wasn't enough to file small claims, but more importantly I don't recall inflicting such damage. I do recall, however, and probably will never forget, the $400 hosing I got from Canyon Ridge for the repair of a single bent venetian blind blade. Be careful out there.

Over a year after, I've been stuck in this hell hole. I was lied to about the location of the trash and the laundry location before moving in. The hallway is always dirty and smells like smoke, crack smoke, cigarette smoke, weed smoke, 24/7, and you can bet that you'll be woken up at the ass crack of dawn by the "construction" in the backyard, but Don't worry, it's only every day from 7 AM-4 PM ;) oh! And Dont bother trying to open up your window to save yourself from the smell of smoke; the backyard smells like feet and more cigarette smoke now that there's no grass to absorb the scent of the People who live here... And Don't fool yourself into thinking the landlord or the health department will do anything to stop any of this; they won't. Lots of people are paid off, so this place can continue to be a hell hole. Definitely stay the fuck away if you know what is good for you!
