Alder at Allston Yards

The management team was efficient in addressing the reported issues, which I really appreciated. I also believe the office takes residents’ feedback seriously, as they have made adjustments based on previous suggestions. Overall, I’m quite satisfied with my experience living at Alder!

Overall, the residency experience has been satisfactory. However, since the new management team (a new crew, not a new company) took over, there have been some noticeable changes. It’s possible they’re still adjusting to existing policies.
For instance, the community activities calendar, which used to be posted monthly has not been shared. Also, the office has become less responsive to inquiries, as you have to visit in person to get a response.

As a newly built apartment last year, Alder undoubtedly has the latest and most well-designed facilities. I like the design of the courtyard on the third floor, which is both cozy and full of youthful vibe. The staff in the office are all very friendly and greet me with a smile every time we meet. The modern facilities, including the mobile app to control the apartment's door switch and the room air conditioner, are all very convenient. Apart from the sound insulation problem caused by the thin... floor slabs, I am very satisfied with the Alder. I also hope that the neighbors can understand each other amicably, as the noises in daily life cannot be completely isolated. I am willing to renew the lease later lso that I can continue to live here. Lee mas

I’ve really enjoyed living at Alder Yard! The building is always clean, the amenities are well-maintained, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Any maintenance requests I’ve submitted have been handled quickly. It’s a great place to live, and I appreciate how the team works to keep everything running smoothly.

I moved into Alder at Allston Yards about five months ago, and the experience has largely lived up to the hype: the location makes day-to-day errands and commuting almost effortless, the staff treats residents with genuine care, and the building design feels fresh and thoughtfully amenities. That said, a boutique-sized gym and a few parking quirks remind you that no luxury address is perfect.
Living on top of a full-size Stop & Shop means grocery runs now last five minutes even in a downpour, a... convenience built right into the mixed-use plan of the Allston Yards development. Just outside, Boston Landing commuter rail station sits a block away; one quick stop drops me in Back Bay and shaves serious time off rush-hour travel.
The Bozzuto management team is another strong point. Public reviews praise their responsiveness, and my own experience matches the chatter: work orders are always closed within 24 hours, and the staff members greet residents by name.
Inside the apartment, floor-to-ceiling windows, whisper-quiet HVAC, Latch keyless entry, and an in-unit washer/dryer give the space a truly new-construction feel. Shared spaces are equally polished: there is a coworking library, game lounge, landscaped courtyard with fire-pits and grills, EV-ready garage spots, and a fitness studio stocked with Peloton bikes and a smart workout mirror.
Trade-offs do exist. The gym footprint is modest; it still has only one weight bench, although management says a second was ordered months ago. Rents sit firmly at the top of the neighborhood range unless you snag a promotion, so be prepared to pay for the modern and convenience. The garage entrance is shared with Stop & Shop shoppers, and the windshield-tag sensor can be tricky sometimes, a minor frustration when you are running late.
Bottom line: if you value having a grocery store downstairs, a commuter-rail stop steps away, and a management team that actually follows through, Alder at Allston Yards is an easy property to love. Lee mas
