1015 Whalley Ave

This was a good starter place for me when I first moved to CT. There are some wonderful people living there who are friendly and kind. At time the time, it was the best pricing for a safe place in Westville. After living there for several years, some aspects wore on me; it wasn't a good long-term living situation. If something breaks and the supers can't fix it, you'll likely waiting months, even if it's something major. There's not a live number to call for management, so sometimes it can take… several calls to get a response. They didn't warn me until I moved in that they don't replace the AC units. Mine was old and not in great shape; I suspect some asthma/allergy issues might have been connected to that unit giving I'm doing much better in my new place. Another major issues was cars parallel park right alongside the building, up against some units (including mine). If cars idled at all, I'd get the smell of car exhaust in my apartment, even if I had the windows closed (I'm not sure if this was also connected to the old AC unit). The hot water wasn't at all dependable. I didn't have any issues getting warm water for dishes, but regularly had to to take cold showers, or had the water go cold after just two minutes. Too often, I emerged shivering from showers with blue lips. I asked about the water a few times over the years I was there because it seemed worse in my unit, but I guess that's just how the building is. If you need to live there, I recommend waiting for a unit with a newer AC unit and one that isn't directly alongside parked cars. I was grateful to be able to save money while I was there to move into a better place. I was grateful for the community too. Read More
