I lived in a 1 bedroom here for about 8 months. The apartment was very nice looking with the…read moreexposed brick walls and high wood beam ceilings (which they do charge extra for), but the sound insulation was horrible! I could clearly hear a normal volume conversation that my next door neighbors or downstairs neighbors were having. Also, I lived one floor up and one apartment length over from the front door, but my bedroom floor/wall would still shake every time someone would come in or out and the door would slam behind them. It was as if the walls had no insulation in them! Also, the building is right next to a railroad crossing, so every time a train would go by, you would hear the dinging bell at the RR crossing, and the train would blow its horn while crossing. I guess I got somewhat used to it, but never completely. They appear to have some nice amenities, which they do in certain aspects. The gym was nice to have (although very small with only a few pieces of equipment), as was the pool. But in the 8 months that I lived there, the jacuzzi worked exactly twice for me (and I tried it at least once a week). I was bummed, because that was an amenity I was really excited about. They just never got around to completely fixing it. It was nice to have heat and hot water included in the rent, but it wasn't enough to make the rent for such a small apartment worth it. I ultimately decided to pay the fee to break my lease and move out. I now live in a 2 bedroom duplex with my own private yard for only $100 more than I was paying for my small one bedroom apartment here. I will say that the people who work in the front office are extremely nice and helpful, and they were very quick to send someone to fix something in your apartment for you. Also, Franklin is a very nice town, and there's lots to do around the area. But overall, I would not say it was worth all of the negatives and the high price.

We live in the front of the building and there is absolutely NO sound insulation. I could literally hear a conversation next door and upstairs. The people that run this place are not doing a good job. The one good employee that they had, our old maintenance man, recently quit, and I don't blame him with the new management. I would highly recommend looking elsewhere and finding more for your money.

The layout and appliances were perfectly conceived for achieving efficiency while making this a welcoming home. Sliding screen doors to the patio and windows on every side allow for the flow of fresh air throughout. The grounds are always kept up, and parking is never an issue. We have had very few reasons to request assistance from the main office, but when we have made any requests, they are typically resolved on the same day. Every member of the office and buildings and grounds staff whom we have encountered have been professional, responsive, and friendly. As residents living here, we can honestly say that the staff adheres to the expectations set forth in the lease. They work hard to ensure that tenants adhere to the lease agreement to ensure the safety and quality of life for everyone here. If you are a smoker, this is not for you, as there is no smoking, toking, or public drinking allowed at Glen Meadow. The cost of living here is competitive with the area, especially when you factor in the inclusion of heat and water with the rent. This location is one that suggests a community, with people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. It is fair to say that it is a place where you can feel welcome to have a pet. We have an indoor cat. Our neighbors have dogs. If you cannot tolerate the sound of a dog barking, perhaps a no-pet community is what you need. The animals we have seen here have never been a nuisance in any way. My personal opinion is that the atmosphere here is a neighborhood with plenty of life happening around us, and we wouldn't have it any other way. Glen Meadow's location is convenient to its center and convenient to both routes 1 and 495, though it is true it is only convenient to Boston by train. We are within walking distance to two different grocery stores as well as a CVS, Walgreens, and other venues. Franklin itself is a wonderful town in which to live. It is rich with history and provides old New England town charm. Glen Meadow in Franklin, MA is our cup of tea.

If you have children they have a great playground and even a dog area for those that have a dog.

"If I were you, I'd want to burn this place down."…read more That's what the secretary of this property told me. They advertise these as "luxury apartments," but I've been dealing with a leaking kitchen floor for EIGHT MONTHS. And that's only one of the many problems we've had. The property manager, Sunali, actually yelled at me and assured me the problem would be resolved. Guess what? It still hasn't been fixed. We have 14 open maintenance requests. Fourteen. Most of them were ignored or left unresolved. I've spoken other resident, and they share the same frustration. You pay luxury prices for amenities and promises, but when it comes to basic maintenance and living conditions, you're left on your own. The lack of professionalism, communication, and accountability is unbelievable. I have been patient, but waiting months for a leak that damages your floor and makes your home smell is completely unacceptable. Save yourself the stress, frustration, and disappointment. Do not rent here. Management will treat you like they're doing you a favor, while your problems continue to pile up with no real solution in sight.

Not too hard to see where an aggressive dog has chewed away a large part of the window blinds in one unit; food fights in the parking lot not uncommon; kids using the dog park to play; residents forgetting to turn off the grill leading to the fire department needing to respond t9 the fire; or the fire alarms frequently going off because of the smoking!!!

Unfortunately I wasn't aware of my tenant rights at that time and because of this, I thought I had to move last minute. I had to use that rent for that last month and apply it to my new place first months and deposit. I understood that there was going to be a balance for Oasis. Out of good faith I got situated with my finances and was ready to pay that balance off. When I went to do so, I noticed there were extra charges other than the rent owed. There were also charges for the usual wear and tear after being in a apartment for a few years. Cleaning and having to patch up the walls and repaint when a tenant has been living at a place for a while is pretty standard and tenants are not usually charged for this however , Oasis are charging me for every appliance in that apartment as "damaged". The electric stove has scratches from wear and tear from moving pans and pots from one burner to another it also has some burn stains. Now I'm disputing them against these "damaged appliance" claims. How does one live in an apartment where the stove is "damaged", the refrigerator is "broken", the dishwasher and dryer and washing machine are also "damaged"? Don't let a few good reviews fool you. This property is not managed well they raise rent yearly at an extremely high rate and then when you move out you're going to be charged for things other than normal wear and tear. Be cautious.

This is just a heads up to Low Income people applying to the Curtis. What they dont tell you up…read morefront (and only after touring, picking out an apartment and filling out an application) is that after jumping thru hoops with the application - downloading all this info and face recognition etc - they then run a credit check and lo and behold if there is one blemish on that report they deny you. This is their way of getting around leasing a Low Income apartment that they had to say they have in order to build the apartments. They should say up front (before all the time wasted) that they will be running a credit check and that it must look good to pass. That would immediately let people know that have any credit issues not to bother. Unless Curtis has to prove they are working with Low Income applicants. I am sure there are people that will pass the credit check and I am happy for them as it seems like a really nice place to live. I just think it should be discussed up front.
