Chronic garbage stench in the 1 & 2nd floor hallways (and sometimes inside our apartment) since…read morespring 2024, and still happening today. They clean but they don't replace the broken compactor system. Residents have reported to the dept of health, then Avalon makes promises, but it never seems to be resolved. It was really hell. SO - don't live on floors 1 or 2. Plus... mice. They get extermination in regularly, but I don't think they can stop the mice. We also had a window frame that leaked with every heavy rain. Ruined a table, puddles on the floor, mold on the window blinds. Took a couple years for them to finally fix it. (Huge block of black colored mold was inside the wall when they opened it.) We also had 2 floods, totaling 3.5 months without a home. Lost half of our belongings, and had to clean up ourselves after the walls and ceilings were replaced. Lots of mold. The second flood (and perhaps the first) was a result of pipes not being up to code. They immediately fired the head of maintenance. Also, Avalon is a big corporation that unsurprisingly has no heart. My small business failed, and I had a period unable to pay. When I was able to catch up, Avalon did not want to let us stay. (After all they put us through!!) So we voluntarily left in June 2025. Overall Avalon in the Hingham Shipyard is a nice place to live, the residents are really nice, and the staff is nice. I miss all of that. But absolutely avoid the first two floors, and tour several times to be sure there is no garbage stench in the hallways. And demand everything be fixed immediately. Enjoy the Shipyard, but know what you're dealing with.

The Estates is a beautiful property located in Hull MA. During my time living here, property…read moremanagement has changed three times but the management has remained the same. Unfortunately, management is totally unresponsive to residents While the rent is raised annually to meet market pricing, units are not updated and barely maintained. The units are older and it shows. The maintenance team consists of two who are required to address all issues. Management requires an appointment to speak with them and take days to respond to emails or voicemails. The telephone is never answered. The turnover is high. Moving trucks are coming and going. Management had no desire to retain residents but seem to prefer new resident at a higher rent. The Estates could be a great place to live with more attentive management and making retaining residents a priority rather than being more concerned with raising rents.

I went into the office today on the property to ask about their handicap accessible policies on the…read moreproperty since they're doing so much landscaping my sister was having a hard time getting around due to the landscaping being done for months now without any information being shared to the tenants about it, so my sister couldn't plan properly to get around all the construction and as soon as I said anything, they told me to leave their lobby because I didn't live there and that I was being loud and they didn't have to speak to me about anything. This was Elizabeth Joseph, the property manager who is the rudest most unprofessional women/child I have ever dealt with and a guy named Chris , who literally got up and walked out of the room, so he didn't have to continue having a conversation with me. Neither one of these people have one ounce of professionalism or customer service in their bones and have no business working in the public!!!!! Both didn't have a business card to give me or any information at all other than I could leave. I am absolutely shocked with how I was treated by a so-called property manager and her assistant when I only was asking a question on the schedule of this never-ending construction around the property and how it's affecting handicap individuals that live there . Now I believe what my sister and her friends in the complex are saying about how they're being treated by these two joke employees and now I'm going to the VERY TOP!!! Disgusting!!!

I lived here for a year. The building was nice but somewhat sterile, but the management and staff…read morewere atrocious. Let's start with the property manager. When moving in, she pressured me to put in an application immediately saying the apartment was going to rent. It didn't, so I ended up getting it. Even though she talked with a squeaky babydoll voice, it was like talking to a brick wall. The fact that random maintenance people entered my apartment without authorization or even a real purpose and to not get even an acknowledgement was awful and illegal. Then there was the time when a cleaning person tried to kick me out of an elevator I was using so they could clean. The cleaners could generally be found hanging out doing nothing on the 5th floor giving dirty looks to the residents. Then when renewal time came they tried to raise my rent by $600/mo. Ridiculous. So when I put in my notice, I opted to have them clean the place for a small fee, like all Avalon properties, but they charged me for it 2 months before moving and again when I moved. I raised this with them, where Nadia tried to gaslight me saying it was standard (it wasn't) and I had to threaten them with the real estate board if the second fee wasn't refunded. Although the Shipyard is nice and the building is new, the way it is run is more than enough to run away from. I rented 2 places in other Avalons and had good experiences. I stopped renting from them because of this property.

She responded quickly and helpfully to any text or phone call or email I sent her throughout the search/inspection/closing process, consistently followed up with the other realtor for any questions I had, and quickly got me copies of all documents over the course of the purchase.

Leslie clearly knows the market and the area and was able to give me good advice on the properties we saw (always masked). It was a pleasure working with her and I am so grateful to have had her on my team throughout the whole process. Would definitely recommend!

I knew where everything was in the mess , but I did not have a system I could easily maintain. I rotate through a ton of skincare, body care, hair care, dental, fragrance, and other personal care products depending on my needs. Before, they were mostly sectioned-off piles. Wal (pronounced Val) sorted everything by category, placed less-used products and back stock in the back, and kept the things I reach for most in the front. The team also bought clear bins that fit the space, including sliding bins I can easily pull out and taller bins for shampoos, conditioners, and other bottles. This was especially helpful with the wire shelving in my rental. Now everything is grouped together, visible, and easy to access. I can also refine the system over time as I use it and getting ready flows now. Wal and I collaborated on what I wanted to keep and how I needed the space to function. The team also organized under my sink, where I prefer to keep only cleaning products, foot care, and toilet paper. That preference was respected. Rose's team worked with my budget, and Wal has become my ace for projects like this . I already have more spaces I'm excited to hire the team for. Thank you Rose! for giving me a practical system I can actually maintain. I absolutely recommend them for cleaning and organizing support.

I spoke to Jim on the phone to book the service, and he was really friendly and helpful. He said his wife Rose would be in touch with a quote after I texted some pictures of the room. I don't know who I was texting with in the end. They quoted me $100. The two workers arrived right on time, were very polite, and did a beautiful job! However, they spoke no English and used a phone app to communicate. (You speak into the phone, they read the Portuguese that's generated, then they speak into the phone and it spits out English. Who knows how accurate it is.) I lived in a foreign country for 6 years and while I wasn't fluent, I had basic proficiency in the language... admittedly I worked in an industry where people spoke English, but for day-to-day things I was glad I could read and handle basic conversations. (This was pre-smart phone.) I'd love to hire Rose's Cleaning for their organizing service, but can't imagine how you'd do that with someone you couldn't talk to. They get good reviews for that, so maybe I'll try it. I'm skeptical but interested. If all you need is cleaning it probably doesn't matter that you can't communicate without a phone translator. Their work was beautiful and they were punctual and polite. All of that is great. I'm glad they could fit us in!
