Fennwoode Property LP Apartments

New management is a nightmare. Incomplete or late communication on changes or emergencies like water shutoff. "Renovations" to the property are mostly valueless to tenants, including new balcony light fixtures, new building signage, branded hallway floor mats, as well as touchscreen building access that hinders package deliveries. Lease renewals have been skyrocketed 20%+ since last year and there is no value added to the tenant to justify it. They've gone so far as to raise washer/dryer... prices by 29% with no warning, yet the laundry rooms aren't being maintained or cleaned since the change in management end of 2024. The communal halls and stairwells aren't even vacuumed on a regular basis and are dirty. Steer clear of this place, these facilities are not good enough to demand these prices. Oh and the posted images are completely doctored with modern design, falsely advertising the accommodations. There is no recessed lighting in ceilings, floors are mostly carpet, laundry is in the basement of each building, no microwave included in kitchen etc... Read More

Used to be a solid place to live, mostly due to reasonable rent and excellent management. However the buildings are old and rent hikes make it far more attractive to rent nearby Blue Back Square or further away where prices are similar to previous
Fennwoode rates. It cannot be overstated the incompetency of the new management company. Problems which used to be taken care of quickly are never truly resolved, horrible communication with tenants, water shut off without giving 24 hours notice,... unresponsive, dismissive and willing to charge tenants for pointless unwanted "upgrades" and not take care of basic repairs.

Living at Fennwoode is like staying at a cottage resort, except this is one holiday I never have to leave! The staff are incredibly friendly, proactive and so very kind - all my maintenance needs are addressed immediately and even before they become issues! The home itself is immaculately clean, very well maintained and safe. I feel supported and protected at every step. This is not my first renting experience, but is by FAR the best!

I was tempted to mark this as a 4 star instead of 5 to not seem biased. I'm always hesitant when I see only 5 star reviews on anything. That said Fenn-Woode deserved the 5. I lived there in a 2 bedroom apartment for 2.5 years, and had zero issues the whole way through.

The property is landscaped routinely, the pool is always clean, and it's an all around serene sight to see. Lots of trees, a fountain at the center, picnic tables, and grills with propane hooked up and ready.

The look of the... apartment interior was solid, with the only small negative being the kitchen. And even then it's just an aesthetic critique, not functionality (it's not the most modern cabinet/counter top combo).

Getting a hold of the maintenance folks is never a problem, and they're quick to fix any issues you may have. All of them are friendly, and most of them are conversational; one was nice enough to give me a ride up the hill to my car in his golf cart on my last day.

Occasionally the sauna will break down in the pool house (who can complain when you have one in the first place), and we were never able to get our intercom to buzz open the door, but we also never called them to fix it. Laundry was something like $1.60 per load, but it was all done through a re-loadable laundry card which is far better than fishing for quarters every week. I also never really ran into access problems despite there only being two washers and dryers for my building.

The estimates they will give you for average electricity bill are in my opinion generous. The units have central air (heat and AC) so keeping it temperate in summer or winter can get pricey on the electric bill.

The master bedroom is enormous, and the second bed was standard/fair. The living room was similarly large, and kitchen was moderately sized; a good amount of counter space, tons of cabinets, but not very wide so it gets cramped if two people are cooking.

Most important of all, the price just can't be beat. For a huge 2 bedroom 1.5 bath you're paying the same price as a tiny one bedroom in West Hartford. Plus you won't find anything cheaper that has a pool, sauna, and tennis court.

There is a Stop & Shop on the same road, a gym directly across the street, and Target/Best Buy/Trader Joes/Old Navy/Total Wine/West-farms Mall/anything else you'll need is a 3 minute drive away

Highly recommend the place; if I need an apartment in the area again I'd happily go back. Read More
