Lacking commitment for improvements, the Beacon has seen better days. The amenities are old and hardly used and the cost keeps going up. The location is great but there is a lack of support and little change.

Overall very good. Great location, decently quiet, nice premium (not luxury) apartments, secure/covered parking, and relatively safe considering the surrounding neighborhood at times.

Relatively pest free, decently responsive maintenance staff, and nice office staff. Complains include 'market' rent increases, pet rent/deposits required/limits, trash fee, cleanliness of neighbors, and overall price/fees.

Biggest pros are the location in terms of convenience and walkability (terrible traffic... and bad noise if you apt faces rt 1), ample parking, and minimal crime/pests. I've lived here over 5 years because of this. Oh, and some of the layouts actually feature better kitchens than in many single family homes/condos.

The experience here has been pretty good. The walls are a bit thin and navigating the building is a bit difficult. The staff has been very helpful and the neighbors are friendly

I had an outstanding experience working with Sabrina during my leasing process at The Beacon at Groveton. From the very beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly welcoming. She took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and went above and beyond to ensure all my questions were answered.

Sabrina made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Her attention to detail, quick follow-ups, and warm personality truly set her apart. She genuinely cares about the... residents and takes pride in her work, which reflects in the excellent service she provides.

Thanks to Sabrina, I felt confident in my decision and truly excited to move into my new home. She is a fantastic representative of The Beacon at Groveton, and I can’t recommend her enough.
