The buildings consist of 8 apartments that are spacious and very modern. Our particular building has been a pleasure as we are like family and look out for each other. We have 2 parking spots each as well as visitor parking. The storage units are very large and the laundry room is conveniently located in each basement. The community is quiet and safe. The Management does a wonderful job! Calls regarding any maintenance issues are returned quickly and resolved even quicker. The parking lots are plowed superbly! They will assist the elderly and disabled. There are many fun events, parties, organized field trips, potluck dinners, etc, just a wonderful sense of community. The grounds are well maintained and tenants decorate their balconies with flowers, etc The pool is clean and relaxing. We are now retired and are moving to Florida otherwise I would never move from here.

Very nice little 2 bedroom Townhouse complex off Village Street in Millis. Heating here is…read morebaseboard and it doesn't have central air. There is no pool and is one of the further Millis condos to the commuter rail station in Norfolk.It doesn't have a great curb appeal or landscaping and is largely built on a hill which is likely not the best in the winter. Though it is a short ride to downtown Millis there is nothing around this complex and is not within easy walking distance of shops.

I'm happy I chose The Kendrick as my new home in Needham.

The building has great amenities--gym, beautiful lobby, art collection, package room, and an on-staff concierge who's always helpful with packages and information. There are more amenities than I'll personally use, but it's great to have them on site. Terry in management was professional, responsive, and made the rental process smooth. My apartment shows some expected wear from a previous tenant, but overall I'm very happy to be here.

I've been living at the Kendrick now for a little over 18 months and I just renewed again. All i…read morecan say is WOW. This place is by far the best complex I've lived at! Every part of the building is always clean, the communial areas are spacious and add an extra level of comfort when I'm looking to unwind after a long work day. The pool, rooftop deck, and main courtyard all have multiple grills. My family and friends are obsessed and have all shared positive thoughts about the building. But by far, the leasing team go above and beyond in their service. Andres and the team are always professional and are understanding of any questions or concerns. If I could give this place 100 stars I would!

"Trust me, the pictures provided by one reviewer were taken while units were being renovated, and…read moreis not a common occurrence." and then...... "It's simply my opinion, and apparently the experience was different for another reviewer." So is it fact?.....or opinion? MY PHOTOS WERE.NOT.TAKEN. during renovation. How dare other reviewers presume to know anything about when my photos were taken. I have nothing to gain by showing photos or lying about them. I'm not an irate ex-tenant, I wasn't forced out and I left on very good terms. I believe that people deserve to know what they're investing in and I would want someone to do the same for me, if the situation were reversed. This is my experience and other reviewers have no business disputing that or tearing my experiences apart. I never said the building wasn't lovely and unique because of it's age. I never said neighbors, during my tenure, were arrogant or unkind. What I did say that is that building owners/management did a sloppy job with construction and took the cheap route with sub-flooring and walls/wall thickness and HVAC, especially, and that if you're considering investing a half million dollars in a unit, you shouldn't be able to hear your neighbors through the walls while you sleep, shouldn't have a film of rock and subflooring dust on/in everything (including your lungs) and shouldn't have to suffer through the hottest/coldest days of the year without a/c and heat. This WAS my experience and other people deserve to know that. Continue to live pridefully and harmoniously with your neighbors in your beautifully appointed surroundings and let people decide what inevitable "issues" they're willing to deal with, after they've invested 100's of thousands of dollars.

We have lived at the Lofts at Lower Mills since Fall of 2011. We had sold our condo in a…read morethree-unit triple decker and were curious to see if we would like living in a larger building so we decided to rent. Well, we loved it so much we bought our unit. With regard to the previous review, I am somewhat surprised that this individual would stay for 5 years if they had such an awful experience. Certainly you could find units with lower rent in other developments. However, we have found the Lofts at Lower Mills worth the price. The grounds are well maintained, as are the common spaces of the building. We have found the maintenance and cleaning staff to be top-notch and incredibly helpful. As renters, maintenance work orders were quickly completed. You would be hard-pressed to find better on-site staff. Heck, they were helping us re-direct our ceiling lights on Christmas Eve and they couldn't have been more pleasant about it!! We have had a very different experience from the previous reviewer. We have never had issue with mold on the brick and we live on the river-side of the building. The most we have had to do is cut away the ivy that sometimes grows over a corner of our window. The brick is gorgeous and it is what most people are drawn to when they enter our unit. As this was a factory before there are some nicks and dings but we feel that adds to the character of the unit. Also, we had a housing inspector go over the building (including the roof and the basement/crawl space) and he remarked that he was incredibly impressed with the structure and its integrity, especially given its location next to and over a running body of water. We have not been bothered by sound from other units. We never hear the neighbors on our floor. We used to have a couple with three young children above us and we would hear them occasionally but it did not bother us. It was far from loud and we only heard them when one of the kids would take a digger and cry. Having lived in a triple-decker I know what it's like to hear your neighbors and this is significantly better. We did have an issue when we first moved in where we would find wood dust/dirt in one spot. We called Winn and they fixed it immediately. The contractor explained to me it was from the original wood beams that are designed to expand and contract in their metal frame. Again, it was fixed in 15 minutes and never an issue again. We have not had the same dust and cement issues the previous reviewer had while she lived here. I will agree the HVAC has been problematic. I think the condo association, to whom Winn (now Barkan) paid dues to when the building was not owner-occupied, nickel-and-dimed the HVAC repairs for our building as we were "renters" in the Lofts at Lower Mills. Now that the building is converted and is owner-occupied, with owners who will now serve on the condo association board, I am confident better representation will result in a better job addressing this issue. I should also add when we were without AC for a few hot days we would ask Winn to credit our rent and they did so quite willingly. Overall we have found that with good communication we have been able to address any concerns we have had. We are realists and expect there to be issues that arise in any large building whether it is apartments or condos. Our issues have been minimal and when we shared our concerns with management, and now with our condo representatives, they have been addressed. We have loved our living experience here which is why we chose to buy. Yes, the units are not inexpensive but we felt they were well worth the cost. We should note we are not the only renters who chose to buy. Lower Mills is such a wonderful community with so much to offer. You can walk to shops, the grocery store and restaurants. You are right on public transportation and adjacent to a fabulous bike path. The building is wonderful if you have pets as there is a DCR park right next to the Water Mill Building. Overall, the people who have moved in are polite and engaging but respectful of each others privacy. We are thrilled that we were able to purchase our unit at the Lofts at Lower Mills and we have thoroughly enjoyed living in the building and in this neighborhood.

Was a beautiful place when I first came here at least 18 years ago. Still has a nice front entrance…read moreappearance. But carpet in the hallways definitely need attention. Especially since they opened the doors to pets. Individual unit repairs are usually done quickly. But public areas like the garage doors, heat in the garage (which was operating for many years when we first arrived. Seems to be a problem in the last at least 3 years), outside entrance doors have been broken for weeks and months at a time. Also the garage entrance near the trash area has a disgusting odor on some days especially in the summer. Great amenities: community room, gym, game room and computer office area. Although now it is not as accessible as previously because it is locked at 5. It used to be accessible 24-7 but I think that was spoiled by some adults letting kids play on the computers. Also the community room used to be assessable 24-7 but no longer. There's a nice bbq area which was added last year. I have been in this unit for about 3 years now. It is starting to show wear and tear. The front desk personnel are always good and they try to be helpful, especially Joelis our resident manager. They try to have events to celebrate holidays and special occasions which gives the building a sense of community if you participate. All in all I am happy to be here.

Despite the great location, poor management, unreliable central air, and overall building conditions make living here frustrating. Avoid.

This apartment was great during COVID when everything was quieter and the rent was lower, but not anymore. This is an old building with a lot of old world issues like insects coming up the drain pipes, no central airconditioning. Most repairs are taken care of within 2-3 days which is good. Construction noises throughout the year and intrusive people in the office and downstairs are not so good. No amenities, but there are plans to create some on the top floor. But, that means more construction sounds and more intrusive notices for people to enter the apartment. No plans to improve apartment soundproofing or temperature control. All in all, it's nice to be close to work and restaurants but not the best place to live.
