The trash room, smells like death, and the scent leaks out to the hallway. People throw their trash on the floor, so the floor and walls(of the trash room) are gross. You open the door of your apartment, and the smell from the trash room is noticeable. If you live in the building, with the management office, it's noticeably cleaner. I will walk my trash over to the other building, so I don't have to take to the trash room on my floor. Parking is abysmal - if you're not paying for parking or if you have a guest coming, good luck. Theres packages everywhere. Pool is decent, I will say that is a plus. Some of the staff is good, most of the staff is useless. Considering what they're charging for rent - this place isn't worth the investment.

Rachael, Nathan, and Jaimi in the leasing office are incredible. They are organized, attentive, and empathetic. Brian and Matt follow up on maintenance requests timely and with care. All interiors and exteriors are kept up by the cleaning team at the top notch - from wet vacuuming carpets in the hallway to picking up occasional trash on walkways. The highway is extremely close, which makes getting around Greater Boston Area convenient. Our windows and balcony are very sound proof. Our neighbors are friendly and diverse, including families, students, and young professionals. Emery Flats is in a walking distance from Target and a short driving distance from Market Basket and various shopping centers.

We lived here for almost two and a half years from 2017-2019. It was a decent place to live,…read morethough we had many issues. I noticed that there were a lot of 5 star reviews. I'm glad most people had a good experience here, but I felt like I really needed to take the time to document my experience in detail for the Yelp community. It has been over 2 years since we lived there, so the property managers may have changed, but the mechanical issue likely still remains. First, the positives. It was really nice to be right off the bike path. It made it very family friendly and definitely felt very communal. We were walking distance to Davis Square, and it was a nice and beautiful walk along the bike path. The movie and community rooms were really nice. It has a pool table, full kitchen, multiple TV's, and a massive table. The room was definitely under-utilized as I hung out there quite often! The maintenance team was also amazing. Dick and Evan were very skilled, prompt, courteous, and professional! They definitely went above and beyond the call of duty. They live on-site, which made thing super convenient and their off-hours response time super quick. My biggest complaint is a design flaw with their HVAC and hot water system. They have a single device that heats both the hot water and the central air. The apartment has an instant hot water Navien boiler that also provides hot water to heat the air. It can only work on one of these at any given instance. So, at any given time, you have to choose to have either hot water or hot air. Being in Boston with sub freezing weather, this was not acceptable. If you take a 15 minute shower, the apartment would not be heated for the duration of that shower, so it would be freezing cold in the apartment. We were a corner unit, so the issue was likely worse in our unit than others. This was especially a problem in January/February when the temperatures dipped below 0. We had a 2 year old living there, so the temperature fluctuations was definitely a problem. We ended up having to get multiple space heaters, which proved expensive to operate. I escalated this complaint to the regional manager of Windsor communities, and they sent their regional maintenance person along with an outside plumber. They kept repeating that the system is operating normally, according to specifications (see attached letters). Never once did they recognize the design flaw in their HVAC system, or apologize for the way in which the "correctly working system" decreased our quality of life living there. The management company is not very helpful or friendly. There was high turnover (I think because it was such a stressful job), and when we had complaints, they would typically try to tell us why we were wrong or change the subject. I was disappointed to find out that the regional manager acted in the same way as the on-site property managers, which makes me think that avoiding concerns and issues by trying to explain them away is a company culture issue that comes from the top. Other issues we had: - Recurring pot smoking from a unit below us - Fire alarms randomly going off in the middle of the night (seemingly just in our unit) - Lack of guest parking spots - People parked in our assigned garage spot, and management not stepping in when the tow company did not come - Difficulty getting packages. If UPS delivered something to the front office, we would have to pick it up by the time the office closed, or remember to email them. This was inconvenient and I suggested they get a storage locker multiple times. - Constant construction nearby. This affected our water pressure multiple times. Thankfully we got out of there before the green line construction really started to take off.

The management staff - from office to maintenance - is exceptional and caters to the residents with an environment that is safe, clean, efficient, and neighborly. I love the architectural details of my apartment and my view. It continues to be the place I choose to live! The location is ideal for anywhere you need to be - there is quick access to highways, as well as back roads. So many great restaurants in the area, and being a stone's throw from Boston (via car, the T, or boat) affords the best of what the city has to offer. Quincy Center brings history back to life - it is the city of Presidents and proudly celebrates it. Quincy offers the ocean, marshes, captain's houses, ethnic neighborhoods, incredible festivities for so many American and ethnic holidays. It is genuinely a welcoming city for all.

Living in this apartment building was an extremely frustrating experience due to ongoing…read moremismanagement and persistent building failures. Despite being marketed as a well‑managed community, the reality fell far short of those claims. Management was incompetent and appeared incapable of operating the property at even a basic level. Issues were allowed to linger indefinitely, with little evidence of proactive oversight, organization, or accountability. Maintenance problems were constant throughout my time here. Elevators were frequently out of service for extended periods, garage entrances repeatedly broke and remained unfixed, and HVAC systems were unreliable. These were not isolated issues but recurring failures that directly interfered with daily life and convenience. Noise was another significant problem. The building has virtually no sound insulation, making it impossible to escape your neighbors. Hearing screaming children and excessive noise through the walls at all hours was common. To make matters worse, these same residents routinely filed noise complaints against others, despite the volume coming from their own unit--an issue management failed to address fairly or effectively. Amenities were underwhelming given the rent being charged. The fitness center was minimal, and management would suddenly impose restricted hours, further reducing the already limited value of the amenities. Overall, this building failed to deliver a reasonable living experience for the price. Between constant maintenance failures, incompetent management, excessive noise, and unreliable amenities, I would not recommend living here and would never rent from this management again.

Small problems are always immediately addressed, fixed or solved. The maintenance team is by far the most exceptional group of hard working, friendly, happy and professional men. The average wait time for response is literally just hours. Your request for service is immediately acknowledged. Then the assigned team member, Mike, Jesus, Anthony...They make the friendly call, schedule for when it's convenient for you, then it's fixed. Simple as that. But not simply done. They always ask how we're doing. How are family is doing. Sincerely so. They're friends. Neighbors. There to help. Ask what else they can do for us. (We're two older women, mother & daughter and are always made to feel listened to and cared for, in a lovely maternal way) Then there's the office staff. Caitlin, Regan, Dave.... Regan and Dave took us through our 2021 renewal recently. They're just so fabulous- always honest, clear and professional . We are looking forward to 2021 Summer at the pool and enjoying the beautiful brand new clubhouse, technology center with super comfortable spaces and a NEW professional level gym!!! I can't wait to get onto the recumbent bicycle that is exactly what I had hoped would be added in the new equipment set up. The trees flowered so nicely this year. My one grump with the extensive landscaping is that they don't put iron nails under the hundreds of hydrangeas to bring out more colors! But there are always flowers. The waking paths are very well maintained. I use a rolling walker so the annual upkeep of the asphalt walk is very much appreciated. A really nice surprise this year was the upgraded gas grill areas. Now there are two grills, set into large cooking spaces. Thanks! Maybe next year we will see an overhaul of the dog park? There are dogs everywhere now. Owners are responsible with cleaning up for the most part and pups are leashed. The park is too small even for our little guys and it's on a slope making it difficult for dogs and owners alike. It's kept super clean by use of washable astro-turf. All in all its just a happy place to call home.

Beware!! My lease started less than a month ago and I am shocked at how Windsor manages their…read morecommunities. My experience at Windsor at Oak Grove has been incredibly disappointing. First, they did not clean the apartment before move in. There was food debris on the refrigerator shelves. The floors were extremely dirty. Huge spiderwebs in the windows. Dead bugs everywhere. Years worth of dust and dirt on surfaces. Then, I had to send daily emails for 2 weeks for it to be partly cleaned. They did not want to clean the piled up dust from surfaces before my furniture was moved in 2.5 weeks after my lease started. DO NOT EXPECT YOUR APARTMENT TO BE CLEANED PRIOR TO MOVE IN! Second, Windsor also did not provide all keys to all the tenants until multiple emails and visits to the leasing/management office over this 2 week period. Third, the apartment floors are not well constructed and you can hear everything the upstairs tenants are doing. Every step, every door opening. Everything. You can also hear your neighbors conversations at times. Last and Even more concerning, they assigned a parking space (on my lease and on my move in paperwork) that was already assigned to another resident. I have been paying for someone else's parking spot and they are unresponsive on providing me any paperwork on another assigned parking spot. Multiple phone calls and emails without a response. DO NOT EXPECT TO RECEIVE WHAT YOU ARE PAYING FOR. The only positives about living here so far: the maintenance team is amazing. Super responsive, effective, and friendly. Neighbors are very friendly. The location is incredibly beautiful and convenient. Extremely dog friendly. Apartments are large.

DO NOT RENT HERE. I…read moremoved into Vox on Two in mid-April 2025. Since then, it has been nothing but headaches and frustration. This is a poorly managed apartment community and your rent will simply be wasted money. To be specific, since we have moved in, we have dealt with the following issues: (1) Our HVAC unit was totally rusted out and the unit was hanging on by a single screw, ready to fall at any moment (see photo). We called maintenance and they assessed the issue, telling us it would take a month to fix. We told maintenance that we would like to be informed if there were any updates and that the maintenance team did NOT have permission to enter our apartment while we were gone. When we went on vacation, we were surprised to come home with holes in our walls (see photos) and paint/plaster all over our apartment. It appeared that maintenance did the work without informing us. Worse, they entered our apartment without informing us (which felt like a total violation of our privacy). Also, you don't expect your apartment to be a mess when you come home from a vacation, having to spend hours cleaning up the mess you never anticipated. Poor communication and a violation of our privacy. That's what we got out of this. It took a few weeks and several dozen emails and phone calls but the issue was fixed. We were left wondering: why didn't anyone at the property check the HVAC unit before we moved in, especially considering how bad of a condition it was in? And why was no one held accountable for entering our unit without our permission? (2) When we moved in, one of the three elevators in the building was not working. Over the course of two weeks, two out of three elevators were not working. For multiple days. Imagine trying to haul groceries to your fourth floor apartment when the amenities you pay for are not working. (3) "Guaranteed" parking is anything but guaranteed. We came home after another trip to find that someone had parked in our spot. Because it was a Saturday, there was no one on site to remove the car so that we could park. Keep in mind: we pay $200 a month to park in this spot. Someone was issued a guest parking pass for another spot (which someone ELSE took) so they decided to just take ours. Even though you pay for a spot, and even though there are parking rules, you can never be confident that you will be able to come home and park with ease. We had to park our car 15 minutes away and pay extra just to resolve the issue while we waited for Vox to figure out what happened. The shocking part: this all happened in SIX WEEKS. Do yourself a favor and find some other place to live. NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL. (Unless, that is, you want a new apartment/building issue to stress about every week.)

Overall, VOX offers an average apartment living experience, not the best value for your money,…read moredespite the location and proximity to public transportation. Pros: The apartments and facilities are generally well maintained. You are 10-15 minutes walking to a T stop. there's a park nearby. The maintenance staff is responsive. Cons: if your units face north, be prepared to invest in noise canceling headphones. The noise from traffic is CONSTANT. DAY AND NIGHT. There was not much I could do to dampen it. The water company that VOX uses seems a little shady with random charges. And VOX offers no assistance in this matter. The hallway often smells of smoke even though this is a non smoking building. Communication with the leasing office is hit and miss, depends on who picks up the phone. The lack of communication had led to a dispute I had with management regarding repainting the wall when I moved out. We went back and forth about what I needed to do to avoid a paint charge. I was told to prime the walls, which I did. The office came back with a $300 charge with my prime job, because it was not enough. So I wasted my time and effort when I would be charged either way, and this all could be avoided with better communication from the office.
