All good overall, except for the neighbor’s dog. It’s occasionally bothersome, but still tolerable.

Great place if you have pets. The buildings are a bit old but the maintenence is very responsive. The location is amazing for Umass, especially for those studying in Furcolo. Easy access to 116/shopping area.

The cleanliness, quietness, staff, and organization of the community are its highlights. For those looking to live in a family-friendly or pet-friendly place, this is the spot to go. The amenities could be improved a bit, although I am still grateful to have some of them at all (such as the 24/7 laundry room or the gym). Overall, it’s a great place to live with nearby access to one of the main bus routes.
