This is a beautiful, clean, and safe place to make your home. I've enjoyed my 5 years here very…read moremuch. It's comfortable, friendly, and the staff is professional. Maintenance is VERY responsive, even to non-emergencies. Sandy in the office is very kind and personable, and she really cares about your needs. The location couldn't be better - Canton is very close to all the highways that will take you anywhere you want to go, and the town itself is a perfect suburban town: clean, safe, and friendly. The pool is well-maintained and always staffed with a lifeguard, and it's a great, quiet place to swim laps or just relax and get some sun. Snow removal is remarkably fast, and I've never had to go into work late because I couldn't get my car out. There are garages you can rent too, for your car or extra storage. The people in my building are always ready to lend a hand, be it bringing in your delivery package, or even brushing snow off your car. I've been very happy here, and you will be too!

First off you don't have to live in 72 degree heat. I thought that was a mistake when I moved in so…read morelike a normal person I simply reprogrammed my thermostat. Just type "simple comfort pro 5010". Nowhere in my lease or yours does it say "free heat up to 72 degrees". They pull that BS because alot of the tenants here are section 8, subsidized and let's just say a bunch of people who don't know their rights. So they pull what they want on who they can. I'm not her. There's nothing they can do about you reprogramming your thermostat. I'll wait for the constables!! Oops I pay my rent on or before the first and violate absolutely nothing. So good luck with that. SARCASM!! If you want to pay bills then don't include the benefits. My shits staying on 90. Do something! Kate you should have never called me. Especially after I did you a favor by staying here. Not once but twice. The second bedroom window completely comes out. They called themselves fixing it but as you can see it's still broke. Watch what a call to Canton's inspection board gets me! The shower in the master bedroom backed up with FECES on October 1st. I went to plunge a clog in the shower and it all just surfaced. Maintenance came and said "we're not gonna touch it we called the plumber". Then they sent the people that clean the hallways to clean my bathroom. Yeah all set. I don't sleep in that bedroom and I wouldn't dare open that bathroom door. NEVER AGAIN! My apartment has been reduced to a studio. Illegal tenants. Where do I begin? My upstairs neighbors had at least 6 people living in 900 square feet. You would think they would try to be discreet right? Nope, they park the closest to the building. They stay up all night. Parties til 4 on Thursdays and no one works. They got PPP loans though. Kate ended up giving them "no trespass" orders. But only after I took pictures of stickers on cars that weren't supposed to be there. I'm doing these idiots jobs yet they're complaing? There's also a couple whose entire family has stickers on their cars but they don't live here. When they go on vaca, they all leave their cars parked here. I mean at least 4 family members have stickers. I swear the projects policy is two per unit. That's what my lease says. I had been avoiding a certain someone for the past 7 years. One day we get an email from the office saying that the police presence from the day before was an isolated incident.... Yada yada yada right. Why was it the "avoided" person? He had been living here with his girlfriend on no ones lease, no background check since March 2020. In fact this is exactly what Sandy said to me "the wools not being pulled over my eyes". So you know people live here illegally and this is okay with you? Now they said they gave him a no trespass order as well but to no avail. He just waited for the office to close before he came home. The incident took place in September. He didn't leave until December 1st. I gave my 60 days notice when I found out he was living here. You SAB's asked me to stay. I'm doing you a favor. Me living here is doing you a favor. There was an anonymous call made by a "Lily" saying not to let him on the property. Lily next time you make an anonymous call, make sure you hit *67. Caller ID still works. Do you have any idea who he is and what he's capable of? Oh yeah it was supposed to be a secret but they told me who you were. Given the fact that both of you are liabilities, I'm trying to figure out how you're employed. You wasn't supposed to give me that info and piss me off. You really have issues in this complex. Yet you thought it would be wise to bother me over heat I pay for. FOH! I pay you, you work for me. PERIOD! STAY IN YOUR LANE! ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS LEAVE ME TF ALONE! Smoking cigarettes is allowed on your balcony. A lot of people smoke weed in their cars too. And my fridge freezes. Other than that it's pretty cool Retaliation? I DARE YOU! All while not GIVING AF! No, I won't give anyone but the board call.

My mother moved to Brightview in November 2017. I'm writing this at the end of March, 2018…read more Enough time to write a useful review. Someone wrote complaining that the Jewish residents were upset by the food. That may be, I don't know. My mother loves the food! I've eaten with her many times, and while I wouldn't suggest Brightview for date night, the food is good and the staff are saintly about putting up with the frequent complaints from some of the residents about EVERYTHING. It is so ridiculous at times that you can't help but wonder if these folks are used to having private chefs prepare their food. Everything from the shape of the mugs to the temperature of the soup! It's important to remember this is a care facility, not a resort. Don't move there for the food! I find it shocking the way some of the residents talk to the staff. And they just smile and keep working. Saints I tell you, saints! Every single staff member at Brightview knows who my mother is by name. Every single staff member at Brightview will stop what they are doing to answer a question, point you in the right direction--whatever. They are very service oriented. They are also polite, friendly, and energetic. My mother can't remember anyone's name and she refers to them as "my darling girls who take care of me." I can't even express how it makes me feel to know Mom feels that way. It is gut wrenching having to tell your mother she has to be moved into a memory care unit--Mom shed a few tears, and didn't understand why. But now that she is there, she is doing just great. They have lots of activities, and she is now getting the help she needs with dressing, bathing, and other person care things. Memory care residents get 20 hours of one-on-one help per week. It's fabulous! Mom's apartment is beautiful. No kitchenette in memory care which has proved to be a blessing. She isn't obsessed with saving her half eaten lunch anymore, and the staff know she won't actually EVER eat food she takes out of the dining room, so she is discouraged from doing that. Her laundry gets done, her sheets get changed, and her apartment is cleaned. The facility itself (common areas) is spotless. Yes, it's pricey, but it's less than the other memory care facility in Canton, which seems to be perpetually full anyway. Maybe people don't know that there is another beautiful facility a few miles away with space that costs a little bit less? I do wish that caregiver "children" like myself were able to get the daily schedule of activities via email, so that I could encourage Mom to participate in the things I know she'd like. I think they're working on that as they were collecting email addresses recently. All in all, I am very happy with Brightview.

Just because this apartment complex disabled their Google reviews for whatever reason (their Google…read morereviews are not available for me for whatever reason), I will post my review from there to here. I don't know if it is because of all the 1 star reviews or what, but potential renters need to know the truth about this horrendous apartment complex through and through! For the sake of anonymity, I am using a different email that does not show my name. Therefore, like you have said to other people in your responses, no, you will not find my name in your database. I have been here for a few months now and utterly hate this place. Rent is overpriced, buildings are worn down, Amanda is rude as hell (not entirely sure how she still has a job here), and this is just an overall shady place. 6 Months can't come fast enough. Though I might just spend the fee to break my lease to not have to give them 6 more months worth of rent - ridiculous!... Do yourselves a favor and look ELSEWHERE! Save yourselves the absolute headache that this place will cause you! Not to mention, your wallet will thank you too! Awful complex! Yes, I am ready to get the same awful generated response that you guys give everyone else who gives you anything under a completely undeserved 5 star review! Not even worth a star, but unfortunately, that's as low as I can go! I'd give ZERO if I could! I mean, look at their responses here and on Google if you have the availability to do so. People give 1 star and maybe 1 or 2 sentences worth of info, then the management decides to bash on them and talk about how they were evicted amongst other things? Not only is that disrespectful, but entirely unprofessional - how is this complex still allowed to operate through the way they act?!...

AVOID moving here. Worst.management.EVER. JDS remains an overpriced "community" of incompetent…read moreemployees who will gaslight you endlessly, never fixing any issues plaguing apartments. The worst part of JDS: we can hear every movement, every sound, EVERYTHING our neighbors say/do. Not just the dogs barking all day or crying babies, not usual apartment noise or the elevator- at JDS you hear every step, cabinet opening, washer, shower, toilet habits, sneezes, arguments, business of your neighbors. The flooring is so cheap especially in the bedrooms! You hear your neighbors entire day: alarm, TV shows, using their restroom, closing their doors, blowing nose, stomping feet, coughing, you get it...everything. Again, Revolving management hide, and if you catch them they gaslight you and MONTHS go by without your issues being validated or at all remedied. The elevator broke for 9 months! JDS didn't take one cent off of anyone's rent. Document and keep all video evidence! They will send you to collections when you move out. Maintenance allows work orders to remain open for months and just ignores emergencies. Talk to a few residents about how bad it is really like before you move past the smoke and mirrors of the lobby fireplace, because the reality is this place is an expensive nightmare you can't escape. Once the manager heard we reported JDS to the BBB and the Dedham Health inspector because the violations were out of control she retaliated against us, sending us to collections, so we too have retained a lawyer and will see them in housing court. Please spend your hard earned money elsewhere as you will never get your deposit back. Revolving Mgrs respond to the negative reviews here to "call their office directly" yet literally hide in their office in plain view when residents plead to discuss trumped up charges, ignored service requests to the portal, and exorbitant move out fees. Many former tenants are currently in court litigating for deposits and fake collections. We wish someone had told us how bad it is once you sign the lease. At JDS you become irrelevant, a rent check, someone to avoid if they see you coming because something is always broken. You will be charged for services you never receive. If you complain and attempt to contact corporate? They also ignore you. When life gets so bad you plead to be let out of your lease so you can experience some peace in your home? JDS bill you thousands in made up fees. If you don't have a functioning stove or washing machine, or need the elevator fixed as promised for 6 months?? They don't care nor do they discount your rent EVER. Not when your boiler needs replacing in winter + maintenance doesn't prioritize your orders (because according them they have hundreds of outstanding work orders and "can't get to you.") The gym membership you think you are saving on? Half of the equipment is broken/malfunctions. They don't care. The most disheartening part is how expensive it is to live in such a hellhole. Rent increases of 21% or more each yr with outstanding work orders and zero improvements. Inquire around: resident deliveries are stolen weekly. JDS doesn't permit deliveries on Sundays as the leasing office is closed. Our car was sideswiped and the parking spots were recently made even smaller: you cannot open your car door without hitting the car next to you and it costs extra to have covered parking. Residents who want amenities they pay for to be available? Business center is always occupied, and should you need the 1 printer for a label, etc? It never *ever* has ink. The pool is hardly open. The hot tub was closed for the entire season two years running. It takes months to finally open the pool, only for the hours to be reduced yet again. JDS doesn't even try to clean the grounds. Dog doo everywhere. Grills are filthy and in need of replacing. EDIT: exactly what we predicted: JDS responds on here to call MGR and when we called the third one in as many months, we were gaslit AGAIN by her, but for the very last time. It takes months to go through housing court in Dedham, so in the mean time Greystar's shady collections agency Sequin Assets Solutions LLC is already bombarding us with calls and marks on our credit while we wait to get in front of a judge. This is what they do to longtime residents who have never, ever paid rent late once and paid out of pocket to make this dump a quasi-home.

Scam Alert! Please do not apply at Jefferson at Dedham if you do not want to lose your money! They…read moresay that their application is free and take a deposit of $500 at the time of application which would be applied towards the first month's rent. They will delay their response to your application beyond 72hrs and keep your application on hold till you provide a guarantor through their third party (to who you have to pay a month's rent). If you decide to withdraw your application at this point they will confiscate the deposit under the pretext that the application was conditionally approved and that you did not withdraw it within 72hrs. They did not reply to me for 72hrs even though I called multiple times to ask the status of my application. Please stay away from this scam!!!
