4000 Massachusetts Avenue Apartments

The building has a major pest issue. Besides mice and roaches, we recently started having bedbugs in the building. On top of the rat infested abandoned cars in the garage, the homeless people hanging out in the stairwell and in the hallways, the constant smell of weed filling the hallways and coming into the units, this is not a building I could recommend. It is a shame, because a few years ago I could not say anything bad about the building.

Don't move in if you like peace and quite, not having to walkthrough hallways that smell like weed 24/7, and if you have an aversion to bedbugs. I loved this building when I first moved in, but over the past two years it has become terrible. The office staff is never around, they don't respond to emails, they refuse to spend money to address the issues in the building, and are moving voucher holders in who have brought crime - and according to the pest control staff, bedbugs and roaches - to the... building.

They go above and beyond to provide the best possible service to Tenants.

The staff is super friendly, but unfortunately… This building has been infested with roaches for quite some time now. We have to have the exterminator treat our apartment every week. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. We can wait to leave this apartment building. The building is trying to combat the infestation (trash trucks comes now everyday) but it’s been almost 6 months and they are still here.

4000 Mass Ave has the largest apartments I have seen in this area at the most reasonable prices. We have a closet we call our "guest closet" because it doubles as a sizable guest room, along with many other large closets in our apartment. There are more than 100 children of all ages in the building, and there is a weekly playgroup for babies and toddlers hosted in rotating apartments. The sidewalks outside are great for scooters and chalk drawings. The neighborhood is very safe and the... schools are well regarded. There are a number of nearby playgrounds, we are right next door to woods with a trail, and residents on the first floor have doors that open up to their own backyard. There is also a nice pool. We are on some great bus lines that make it easy to get everywhere. There is both on street parking and a parking garage.

Downsides to living here with children include shared laundry facilities (but many, many washers!), paint that chips easily, and the general challenges of living in any apartment with children (worrying about noise, not having a backyard, occasional cranky residents who don't like kid noise, etc.). There are also long, dark hallways (a plus when you need to burn off rainy day energy, a minus when you're trying to get inside with a meltdowny toddler).

The management is very responsive. Residents are mainly young families and older retired folks, but there are certainly all ages in between as well. It is a large building! All in all, we are glad to live here, and we love the other families we know-- a nice community. Read More
