I cannot say enough fabulous things about Courtney Wood! Working with her has been an absolute…read moredream. I reached out to Courtney on a whim after reading many great reviews about other's experience with her. Shedidnotdisappoint! She was extremely responsive, honest and I felt she always had my best interest at heart. She clearly knows the Boston rental market. She managed my expectations and also advocated for me time and time again. I had a very small window to secure an apartment post 9/1 and Courtney helped me find a place in my top location with all the amenities I was hoping for. If you're looking for an apartment in Boston, Courtney is your girl!

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.

There's 0.10 inches of snow on the ground yet this place needs an excavator here all night long to "clear the snow". I can see the guy collecting his time and a half while texting at 1am while my whole family is up for the 5th time this month. This is nothing like the Cohasset that we have lived in for years.

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.

Never were we told that they wouldn't clean the carpet nor were we told they would replace it-at our expense. We never got the opportunity to clean the small spots. Our dispute was a joke. It wasn't worth our effort since we knew the outcome would be "tough luck". Of course, we're not surprised at the low star rating after reading some other comments. Stay away from Avalon properties. Just not worth the high cost of rent coupled with their inaccurate information.
