Before moving into the 176 Presidents Lane apartments, I would seriously consider the below: 1. Excessive Construction Noise * Renovations begin immediately after units are vacated, which seems to happen frequently. * The ongoing construction creates constant noise disruptions, making it difficult to work from home or enjoy quiet time. Residents often receive no notice about renovations on their floor and only find out once loud drilling, hammering, or other work begins. Advance notice would greatly improve the resident experience. 2. Laundry Facilities * The washer and dryers are very outdated and still coin-operated. Considering the rent increases each year, it would make a big difference if management invested in upgrading to more modern, reliable machines. * Out of the ~7 machines available, only about 3 consistently work properly, which creates frustration and inconvenience for residents. 3. Water Service Interruptions * There are recurring issues with water outages. * At times, the water supply does not work at all, leaving residents without access to basic necessities. 4. Rent Increases * Rent rises by approximately $100 each year. * This increase does not seem to reflect improvements to amenities or living conditions, especially given the unresolved issues mentioned above. read more

This is a great place to live! Parking is at an extra fee, but it is reasonable. (Also, there is no-permit on street parking on the President's Lane side of the building, however, to discourage commuter parking, there is a 2 hour limit between the hours of 9-5 Mon - Fri) Laundry facilities are on the ground floor (and, yes, there is an elevator)... the dryer could stand to be updated and it would be nice if they either got out of the coin system (to a card system) or put in a change machine (quarters are a hassle to get and carry), but, so close to the city.. its nice just to have laundry in the building. Management is very friendly and maintenance does a fantastic job with any necessary repairs and general cleaning and upkeep (you always see someone washing windows or vacuuming or something)... building is old and not the most gorgeous... but apartments are a good size and top floors have a nice view.. also, it is literally across the street from the T. Neighbors are friendly too! Plus, heat, water, and electricity are included with the rent. Be advised... I lived here mostly in 2002 and 2003, so this review reflect that time period. However, I stand by my review. read more

I lived at the 176 Presidents Lane building for 5 years and could not have asked for a more responsive landlord. The location right in Quincy Center can't be beat and I felt the rent was very fair for the area. I dealt mainly with Paul for what few maintenance issues we had over the years and he always got things resolved ASAP without any of the runaround or BS that you hear about in a lot of Boston-area apartment buildings. For example: I distinctly remember one time having a plumbing issue on a Sunday; I called and left a message with the answering service around 7 am. I was not expecting to hear anything until the next day, but by 8 maintenance was knocking on my door and by 9 the problem was fixed. How often do you hear about stuff like that? All of the building/maintenance staff were lovely to deal with, particularly the cleaning lady, whose name unfortunately escapes me right now, but she is SO incredibly nice and friendly. Anyway, bottom line is, if you're a good, honest tenant who follows the rules of your lease and keeps the lines of communication with management open, you'll have a great experience with Heritage. read more

I rented from Heritage for a total of 6 years in two different apartments. My first apartment was a two bedroom in the Presidents Lane building. Mike was always friendly, on top of things, and available if we had questions or issues. Super close to the train station, big parking lot, even the electric was included in our rent. I lived there for two years with no complaint. When I decided to move I asked Mike if he had any other property in Quincy, preferably a 1 bedroom in my price range. Peter showed me a few places and I chose the Edwards Street building. I was able to negotiate a lower rent than they were asking because the apartment was pretty dated. Totally worth it though. This location was totally convenient to the 220/221/222 bus line to Quincy Center, bars and restaurants near the courthouse, has a huge parking lot, nice neighbors. Both buildings were well maintained. Anything broken or needing attention was looked at within the week. Laundry was ok in both buildings, wish there had been more machines. Parking was good in both places. Security could have been much better at Edwards Street, a few blocks down gets into a shady neighborhood. Rent is high but Quincy, as a whole, is getting pricer as people move out of the city. I don't fault them for charging what they do. All told, good experience and I appreciate my relationship with Heritage for the length of time I lived in Quincy. Probably am not moving back ever but good to know a good realtor if I ever did. read more

I lived in my Quincy apartment for 15 months from 2020 to 2021 and only moved out because I was relocating out of state. My renting experience was very positive. The property was well maintained and on the rare occasion any maintenance issues arose, the issue was resolved quickly without any issues. Paul and everyone at Heritage Associates Realty were always very helpful and responsive any time I phoned or emailed. read more

I really enjoyed my experience with Michael and his Sea Street property.

I've rented for about a year and it has been good only ever needed one repair done and it was on a holiday weekend I'd say it took no more than 3 hours to get someone here on a Sunday. Rent prices are fair. Not the most up to date buildings but for the price it's a quiet safe and clean place to live. Unless your gonna pay much more this is about as good as it gets in quincy read more

I rented a one bedroom at the complex across from the T from 2012-2013. Building management and maintenance crew were located in the building and, as a result, always reachable and prompt in dealing with issues. lf I could rate the staff alone, I would give it five stars. Unfortunately, the building itself is deserving of only 3 stars and much of that is due its fantastic location directly across the street from the Quincy Center T. Though the size of the apartment is adequate, the building can really use an update. The bathroom is old, complete with the 1950s colored bath. The kitchen lacks counter space and the appliances are on their way out though still functional. My biggest complaint is the horrible smell of the hallways - largely due to the diverse tenants that inhabited my floor. I did a 4.4 from the front door to my apartment, key in hand, and still managed to catch a waft of the stenchy air upon closing the door. You can't beat it for the price and location as long as you can put up with the funk! read more

Well, I have a friend who has lived there for quite some time. Pros. The maintenance supervisor is ok. The T (subway) is not far away. Shops, restaurant, etc. are all nearby. Cons. Home shelter, people with mental problems and other problems are right down the street. :( The apartments are old. When there is a hard rain, the elevator, the top floor, the South East side apartments, are all soak and wet. Been that way for years. The elevator shaft has an open area with chicken wire (not good for keeping out the rain.) Parking :( some goofy guy with a Corvette and a MercedesBenz thinks he owns the place. The owner will say the parking is "first come, first served". Not True!!! The goofy guy will double park so no one can take the spot. The goofy guy also smokes in his apartment. He smokes into his bathroom exhaust fan, which results the smoke going into the other apartments filling with smoke (the exhaust fans no longer exit through the exhaust pipe [and maybe never did] it exhaust exits through the walls and every crack, hole, etc. in the apartments. Every afternoon, if the goofy guy or anybody else that smokes is home and smoking, will return to the apartment that smells like smoke. The whole building is in bad condition. However, when people are shown the apartments. They are shown the newly redecorated apartments. You would never know there were any problems. Of course they don't show the apartments that soak and wet from the rain. The carpets are wet and the apartment begins to stink. Mildew in the wet walls and carpet. Paint begins grumbling and falls... etc. I could go on and on... read more

I lived on Presidents Lane for 3 years. Michael was a great landlord. Reasonable rent and parking prices. Quiet building with a porch. Right across from Quincy Ctr T stop. Lots of Laundry machines. 2hr parking in neighborhood from 8am-6pm (so if you drove to work from 8-9am and got home around 5-6pm, you could park overnight for free). read more

Ok, I lived in the apartments at Fenno Street. Do NOT rent with them, whatever you do, please do not rent with them. There are hundreds of better appartments around than these ones, so do not throw your $ 1000 + money in the toilet. Hot water is not existent- it is actually warm water- which makes it very cold in the winter. Heat is also just a word, they do not provide good heating conditions and for most of the winter you are going to be cold. The building is old, no elevator, the stairs are really narrow that you can not have a bag of grocceries in one hand and go up the stairs. The carpets are terribly old and dirty (I could not stand them), with several bleach spots throughout the apartment. The rooms are very small and the bathroom is right in the middle of the living room (go figure! and yes it is a modified space). They did not clean, paint or do anything to the apartment before we moved in. The gas for cooking and electricity are not included. No balconies/patios and small windows. It is by far the worst place I ever had to live in and I could not wait until my contract was up. The guy who owes the bulding, Micheal, is a total idiot who loves yelling so you are never going to have a good enough conversation with him. But, he did inspire me to go to law school because of his injustices. I had to live there because I had to stay close to my job, but after a year I moved to a much better location. Do not rent with them, you are going to regret it. read more

Great location, but the apartment hasnt been updated since 1970. The bathroom had a yellow tub, the rug was brown and shaggy and the rent was pretty high for such an outdated apartment. Although it was a good sized 1 bedroom apartment. read more

All the previous reviewers must be high or too naive!!! If you really want to know the truth about this landlort, Michael Tribuna, please check the reviews on Appartments.com Or even easier way just type in Google "Michael Tribuna" and you will see what results will come up. He is a such an a-hole!!!!!!!! Appartments are horible, there is mold, need renovation, very old appliances from 1970s that are keep breaking and they are keep repairing them, cold in winter, partking in winter is a death road - covered with ice and your "beloved"landlord doesn't give a sh*t about it. It is just such a terrible place. I am so glad I got out of there. Watch out for his SELF-EXTENDING LEASE. If you are one day late before the deadline to give a notice (it is 60 days in advance), so if you give a notice 59 days before the end date of your lease, you considered late and the contract auto-renews itself for another year, so to get out of there is for your to find some one else to rent your appartment and pay all the "re-letting" fees to the landlord (it is aboout $2000) and then you will be free. Sounds easy, but I cannot describe agravation and stress I had to go through to get out of there. Please save yourself and DO NOT RENT FROM MICHAEL TRIBUNA read more
