Maintenance resolves problems promptly, including a roach infestation that we had that was eliminated within a few months. The rent is affordable and includes electric and water.

Apartments come with electric, AC, cable access, and it's right on a main bus route. Distance to Umass is about 3 miles. The units are usually two story and no one lives above you. It i generally a quiet place and is family oriented. The service here is very good but don't bring your pets as they are prohibited by the animal police. Our unit was in the back and on the end. Parking was easy either in the back or front. We lived here for two years before we moved and never had any real problems.

It is an old mill that has been transformed into multiple different stores, restaurants and services. When we last came in we went to a flea market event, stopped at their arts and crafts store, and then also went into their antique store. We have also stopped here when we needed to go the RMV since it is also housed in the complex. Overall the list of stores, restaurants, and services located in this restored mill are too long to list. It is definitely worth dropping by or checking their website to see all they have to offer. The next time we are in the area we will make it a point to stop in again. Final note, they also rent apartments in this mill which looked incredible.

The cabinets above the fan become coated in grease in the first month. Their definition of service; drapes were left partially installed for days, boxes left on the floor when we moved our son in - it took multiple emails to get this resolved. WiFi - intermittent and poor - our son exploded his data plan because the building WiFi was too slow and weak for him to download class projects. Their rents are extortion - we expected a lot more for what we paid.

Other tenants have house parties that will also keep you up everyday. Overpriced rent for mediocre management who don't care about you. There is manager named Bryan who works there. After speaking with others in the community. He's made plenty of people move out of Olympia Place before because he enjoys making tenants lives miserable while laughing. If you're a dog owner, things get even worse with him around. He's accused me of something my dog didn't do, told me he has personal issues with me & has told me I was being a crappy dog owner. I highly recommend moving into somewhere else unless you want a horrible experience until your lease ends. This place is not worth living for free when putting up with Bryan.

But all of the black mold is not visible and covered up, which is what they tried to do to the black mold infected bathroom vanity in my unit until I contacted the health inspector to confirm that Northland Investment Corporation was indeed gaslighting me. Most of my neighbors were druggies. My apartment smelled like cigarettes mixed with weed mixed with different types of drugs most of the time. Northland Investment Corporation, the company that manages this place, are very friendly and relaxed towards the druggies in their apartment complexes and don't have a welcoming policy towards non-smokers and those who don't do drugs. If you don't smoke nor do drugs, don't live here as you will have smoke and various drug odors in your apartment all the time. They have the same problem at Cliffside. Also at both Cliffside and Boulders, they make you sign a disclosure saying that there might be asbestos in your unit. But there's holes in the drywall, the popcorn ceiling sometimes falls off a bit, and if you ask if there's asbestos in the drywall and the popcorn ceiling then they say they can't tell you for sure if you've been exposed to asbestos or not. If you're concerned about your health then avoid Northland Investment Corporation. The Regional Manager Peg called me about my Google review and was extremely rude and it. UPDATE: All the laundry machines here are either broken for half of the time or all broken. The laundry machines in my quad are all broken and my soggy clothes are just sitting there. Mellissa, the manager here, does not care about the well-being of residents at all. They just try to save money for everything, which brings the residents a lot of inconvenience. UPDATE: Despite numerous requests to fix/replace the washers, they remain broken. Also, there is NO HEAT in negative Fahrenheit degrees temperature. Obviously the heat breaks down and residents are left without any heat in the winter, while maintenance is slow to fix it and you're left in the dead of the night when it's -6 degrees outside with no heat. DO NOT LIVE HERE IF YOU WANT WORKING HEAT IN THE WINTER.

I'm only glad the neighbors in the next unit agreed. With no warning they one day showed up and started building around our porch, apparently with the intent of leaving a single side of the wall open facing the trash. The agent in charge of the property denied knowing this. I am told the town was called to place the stop order that was next to our door for months, and that stories like this are not uncommon. The customer service was not willing to discuss this with us, only started shouting the minute we mentioned why we'd called saying they wouldn't hear this anymore. I don't know if someone else had called them already but this was not the reaction I expected, and they were not polite or reasonable in their conduct.

They will tell you that if you sign your lease early you'll get better preferences (unit style, floor, roommates etc) - not true. We signed many months before school started - did not receive any of the units we chose, none of the floors we chose, AND they placed a girl unwillingly in my sons 4 bedroom apartment with 3 guys! No lie - and THEY DONT CARE. When we complained to mgt, AND the girls parents complained, they just cut and paste responses into emails about 'protected class' and fair housing act. They would not allow her to move! We felt really bad for her. The law states individuals have every right to choose gender when selecting roommates.

The complex sits just down a street from a bus stop and electric rideshare bikes, making it convenient to get around town. The gym is great for its size, and usually not too busy.
