I am glad they are not allowing them anymore. I have had a nice time here, a couple of hiccups when the fire alarm would go off but nothing major. No huge parties or anything like that. And who cares what the building was built for, it is now my home and I do not want it disrupted by a bunch of kids whose parents just cut them loose and are footing the bill. Let's be honest, as Mr. T says, most parents have not prepared their children to live among others who do not owe them anything. And why would you want your child living where they are not wanted? Stop trying to tell people what to do and who they have to accept.

Broken promises left and right. I understand wanting to try to upsell your complex while giving a…read moretour however straight up lying isn't ok! Was told this was a complex full of mostly "young professionals" in which was not true. The main demographic I've seen is full families with children, which is fine however it wasn't what we were told...Packages are labeled and put away in a mail room we were told, they actually just sit on the floor in the lobby. Your told that this is the most quiet apartment complex, it is not the walls are paper thin, you can hear each and every conversation from any apartment. Broken elevators, no parking in gated parking lot, stench of weed everyday, bugs and roaches in apartments, I could continue however I believe I made my point...think long and hard before signing any lease for this place.

Leasing office told me turn on the fan and open the window and sleep. 7) If you leave in the second day of month after your lease, you must pay for entire month, NOT prorated, NOT mentioned in lease! 8) VERY very loud music from neighboring buildings!!!!

Westgate was the first apartment I lived in when I moved to the area, or should really say, first…read moreplace I lived on my own. I lived in a studio from 2007-2011, which had a hallway, huge closets, and a humongous bathroom. The grounds were kept immaculately and the location was sheer perfection. Maintenance were very friendly gentlemen. When my fridge stopped working, they were quick to replace it with a newer one. When the ceiling fell out in the kitchen, they fixed it too. I used to walk to Stop and Shop, CVS, Dunkin' Donuts, and Boston Market all the time. The Chinese restaurant, Tasty, was a delicious convenience for me. They would throw two parties a year; a holiday and a summer cookout! The leasing office for the most part was very nice to me, except when I tried to negotiate the price. A bus stop is in front of the complex in case you don't have a car. The one-star deduction was for the price. These are very, very expensive apartments. The starting price for the studio is about two hundred dollars more per month than my last year rent. For the price, they should include a hot tub in the pool area and built a gym in the basement. Though I felt like I had no disposable income when I lived there, I felt it was worth living in a safe, convenient and beautiful place. I moved out solely because I could not afford (and I had decidedly to move in with my boyfriend). I do recommend Westgate if you make lots of $$$$$, but don't want the commitment of home ownership. Westgate was a wonderful experience for me.

NOTE: The new management company, called Eagle Rock, is way worse than Westgate! Just don't, you…read morewill regret it.... I don't recommend this place at all, here's a just a few reasons why... There is an inch wide crack all the way around the doors to the hallway and the wind whistles through the door all night in addition to letting in the hallway light and all the hallway smells. The hallway always smells terrible, both from people living in the building with incontinence issues and the laundry room vents into the hall. Bugs enter the apartment through the hallway door, spiders, stink bugs, earwigs... The windows do not shut tight we and the wind whistles through the windows. The windows leak water into the apartment during a rain storms. Birds live in air conditioner and wake you at 4 AM. Outdoor lights in the courtyard never go off so they shine in all night. KITCHEN: The kitchen sink was installed with very cheap fixtures that lacked gaskets so water leaked down under the sink. The dishwasher leaves debris on the dishes so every load needs to be rinsed off. The garbage disposals are ancient and don't grind. If your unit has a washer/dryer... the washer tears your clothes and the dryer vents INSIDE causing massive dust in the apartment. The stove also vents inside, putting grease everywhere. Other people have said this -- they raise the rent - a LOT, every lease renewal!

I've lived at the Vintage at the Grove for the past 4 years and absolutely loved living there…read more From the friendly staff, to the yearly updates that occur at the property, my time spent here has been great. In the past 2 years they've added a beautiful new patio and a gas fire pit with Adirondack chairs around it, and two new gas grills, and this year they resurfaced and re-tiled the pool which looks awesome. The grounds of the property is always beautiful, they take great care of this place. Whenever I've had a maintenance issue the maintenance team has always responded quickly with a sense or urgency. The property manager Patti is also super friendly and knows you by name. She is also willing to work with you if there is a problem, and does so with a smile on her face which goes a long way as a customer. It's unfortunate that people will leave a review only if they've had a bad experience. There are always going to be issues, nothing is perfect, it's what you do about these issues that will drive change for the better. The staff doesn't know what they don't know, so if you aren't providing them feedback nothing will change for the better. All in all I will miss living here as it truly has been a great experience for me, one that I will never forget.

The massive windows were fantastic for letting in natural light. The property manager Patti was very nice and helpful. I had no issues with my neighbors, although the walls were a bit thin so I could hear them from time to time. Appliances and bathrooms are a bit dated, but work fine. The indoor pool is nice, but the exercise room is outdated/small. I had a bit of trouble with my final rent payment where PSN charged me extra. Getting a refund was problematic since their accounting department made a few mistakes. However, it all worked out after a few emails and 3 (yes 3) refund checks being mailed to me. Overall I would stay here again. Good for couples, student roommates, and single people. Age range of residents is varied. Don't forget to take advantage of main street a half mile away.

It turned out that one neighbor fmy neighbors was a front office employee of the property manager. The staff is extremely rude and incompetent. Most of the maintenance staff has to do numerous jobs at the same time: the guy flipping apartments is also the guy Fixing light fixtures and plumbing issues. The large windows and high ceilings look amazing but it's impossible to keep the place warm. If all you want is for a cool looking apartment that has amazing interiors but not much functionality as there is almost no storage. Give it a look. I t looks cool but is essentially a studio apartment with very high ceilings. All of that may have changed since I moved out of the whole mills district in 2006.

You are also REQUIRED to give them the keys and let them in or its cause for eviction. Not to mention, the rebuilt apartments are not good quality, the workers cut corners everywhere. You are also REQUIRED to tell them 2 months before the lease is up that youre not resigning or they charge you 20% increases PLUS 250 a month. Giving 2 months notice in this economy is virtually impossible. Especially since the lease says absolutely nothing about them being required to let me know if rent is raising or lowering at that 60 day remaining mark. My biggest frustration is them requiring you to run hot water ALL NIGHT so THEIR pipes dont freeze and then they will not reimburse you. Using my money to save their as*ess from having to repair something. Not to mention i had to reach out 3 times before receiving my lease paperwork. Management never picks up the phone, i will call and no answer. Then 5 seconds later when i walk in the door theyre all just sitting on their computers. Dont let the new shiny counters and "amenities" fool you. Youll pay 2000$ for an apartment slapped together in a month. Also its been two years since that others persons review and the dumpster is still a disgusting mess. The residents dont care, dog poop and pee everywhere too. Literally trash left everywhere next to the dumpster. When going on a tour, they'll tell you that they plow bright and early so there's no need to worry about that, but all they do is the one strip in the road and block your cars in. They never clear out the car spaces so there are mounds of ice in between each car. If none of this matters to you, its a good place to live and its in a good spot. If these things do bother you, look elsewhere

- I DO NOT LIVE HERE -…read more This review is based off the tour I had the other day and will hopefully answer some questions for future residents. Within a week of my tour request, I had 3 different voicemails from 3 different leasing agents trying to schedule with me. Our appointment was at 3pm, and our leasing agent was 10 minutes late. I don't think she ever introduced herself, because I don't remember her name. She also failed to acknowledge my partner and only addressed me. Turns out she's only been with the company for two months. She never asked me for any ID, even though the desk sign said it was required. OK. I gave her my price range and she took us on a golf cart to tour ground level, basic one bedroom. It did look outdated and had carpeted flooring. Then we drove over to see a two bedroom. Neither of the apartments looked like any of the images online. I asked to see the renovated one bedroom that was online. Looked much better, but the price was over $2000/month. False advertising using the basic apartment prices for the updated ones. The application fee is $50 per person. Utilities are NOT included. You have to pay an annual fee for the amenities. There are monthly garbage disposal fees, as well as a monthly $5 admin fee. The leasing agent only told me this because I asked... There are also annual and monthly pet fees PER pet. We were never shown the club house or gym, so I can't speak to that. What I can say is the club house had a boarded up window due to it being broken the day before by kids residing in the complex. The pool looked clean to me. All units have a washer and dryer. Maintenance is based off a work order system, with emergency requests taking priority. Pest control is onsite weekly to maintain the property. There are car ports you can rent for $50/month that have surveillance cameras. We saw some pretty expensive cars on the lot. The leasing agent told us to keep our doors locked. I asked the agent about safety in the area due to the mixed reviews about the complex. She said she knew nothing about the reviews and asked me what I meant. Huge red flag in my opinion. How can you sell a product you haven't researched? Anyways, I told her what I read (that residents mentioned roaches and shootouts) and her only explanation was that a new Jewish management company out of New Jersey (I think) took over a year and a half ago and have been working on changing things. However, old residents from prior management who "let anyone live here" (her words not mine) still reside in the complex. She says they deny many applicants weekly now in order to improve the complex standards. I asked her what the minimum credit score was for acceptance, and she couldn't even answer the question. I can't speak on the minimum requirements for having an application accepted. Overall, this place seemed very, very overpriced. I understand that is the market now, but nothing is included in this complex. It's base rent + everything, even if you don't want to use their amenities. AND you can't guarantee safety? Good luck.
