DO NOT MOVE INTO THE LODGE AT FOXBOROUGH - Health Hazard, Zero Accountability, Ongoing Infestation…read more
My partner and I moved into The Lodge at Foxborough in July 2023, and what was supposed to be our peaceful home turned into an absolute nightmare. At a time I adored this place, we have been good tenants, clean, and have always abided by the rules and regulations. However, since September 2024, we've been battling a severe cockroach infestation that has taken over our apartment and disrupted every part of our lives.
We first reported the infestation on September 20, 2024, and since then we've had five exterminator visits. Not only has the problem not been solved, but I've been told directly by exterminators that other units in the building are also being treated--which clearly points to a building-wide issue. This is not an isolated case. This is a sign of systemic neglect.
Despite this, management has done the bare minimum:
No offer of temporary housing
No rent compensation
No relocation to another unit
No accountability for the trauma and stress caused
We were left to live in filth, treated like test subjects while they experimented with "follow-up visits" to "see if treatments are working." That's not a solution--that's an insult. My partner and I are not a science experiment. We're paying tenants (approximatly $2,660 a month, not including utlities) who were promised a habitable, safe home.
This infestation has wrecked our lives:
I've missed work and class to accommodate the exterminator's schedule
We've been forced to live out of boxes, unable to use our kitchen or bathroom freely
My cat's safety has been a constant concern during treatments
We've experienced social withdrawal, heightened anxiety, panic, and severe emotional stress.
My relationship has suffered. Our home has not felt like a safe space in months
I've spent my own money on traps, poisons, and patchwork for holes left in the kitchen that allow pests through plumbing and unfinished work
And worst of all? We had to escalate the issue to the Board of Health, who formally investigated the property on March 11, 2025. Only after that did management finally switch pest control companies. But it was too little, too late.
Even after months of suffering, with the infestation still ongoing, they have refused to let us out of our lease. They are prioritizing contract enforcement over basic human dignity and legal habitability standards. We are literally only asking to break our lease 3-4 months early once housing is secured, without penalty and our security deposit back.
I have documented this experience thoroughly with photos and videos, and I will be posting them across Google, Yelp, Facebook, Reddit, and any platform I can find. People need to know the truth about this place.
I am posting this review to warn future renters and hold The Lodge at Foxborough and UDR accountable. No one should be forced to live in these conditions and be met with indifference and excuses. Shame on this property for their negligence, for putting our health at risk, and for treating their tenants like they're disposable.
