This is a small apartment complex with only a few owner owned condos in it. S & S Realty bought…read moremost of them and manages 80%, at least. Although the realty company tries to keep up, they just don't have enough people to care for this aging place. The people who live there are mostly Portuguese, Brazilians, or other kind of foreigners and rarely do you hear anyone speak English. There are lots of babies, children, no playground, litter strewn on the bushes, ciggarette butts and so on. The managers try to keep up. Rent is relatively cheap and heat is included but the rates keep going up as more people come and take advantage of the situation and the landlord then responds by charging fees. I lived there for over half a decade. I had more problems with plumbing, old air conditioner, leaky faucets, plugged sinks, crappy windows, old cabinets falling apart, mildew and finally it started raining indoors last winter. That was the last straw. Once I moved out of there I discovered I could sleep all night, and my allergies disappeared. I even got parasites while living there. If you like family noise, young people shouting at all hours of the night, partying houses in the neighborhood, and if you are Portuguese you'll love it. For the rest of us, uh, don't bother! I wish someone had warned me earlier.

Even if so they don't answer the phone nor return calls. I have requested maintenance repairs took me two weeks for someone to return my call and then another three weeks for maintenance to show up unannounced, no 24 hour notice given. Snow removal is awful and the apartment gets ice dams every winter and the apartments get water damage everytime. Repairs are awful and it shows. They claim luxury. Nothing luxurious about them. Can't wait to move. Good luck new residents

BUT if you brave it out, it's an experience like no other. Forget what you know about traditional yoga, although having the form and respect for your movement will serve you well. Silk "hammocks" suspended from the ceiling are your toys of the day. Straight out of 50 Shades of Grey or 50 Shades of crazy... it's an experience. I'm older, heavier and crotchetier than most, and was wise enough to experiment with a 30 min one-on-one, led by a nimble, ethereal and gazelle-like instructor - Kora. She takes a lot of the "fear factor" out of the training, and allows for your comfort level. You sit on this hammock and perform different feats against nature, like hanging upside down like a bat. Not bad for my first time, other than my 3 belly jelly rolls had a party hanging out in opposite direction of where they normally are... CHALLENGING! It will help you build upper body strength, core and balance. In a very calming environment. If you are in to trying new things, give it a whirl (LITERALLY!). At a minimum, you can tick that one off the list!

I had been using a local service with a monthly support agreement but recent experiences with under trained techs led me to search for someone more familiar with my boiler. After having been quoted $4,900 to repair my boiler for error codes and inaccurate pressure readings from Company A, I contacted Welter and he came in and assessed a few problems. The issues were addressed efficiently, parts were replaced, connections were repaired the boiler was deemed ready for service and the total bill amounted to less than 20% of Company A. Long story short, Welter is an experienced plumber, heating pro, with a positive attitude and excellent troubleshooting skills. Highly Recommend Welter for any heating / hot water issues.
