A dog park where dogs get sick after using it. Nothing for kids to do after they turn 4 with the playground only for small elementary and younger kids. Can't put a basketball net up or play ball anywhere. The gym is so small. No business room. Something is always broken with the machines or they are just so old. It's pathetic. Can't count on anyone there to really be an advocate to help feel good about being a resident. If they find you are asking for too much help, they will deem you an annoyance and will find something to file an eviction process even if they have to make stuff up and know you won't be able to fight against a huge cooperation. Stay far away.

They will then sick their debt collector goons on you who will harass you for years.

The apartment complex offers spacious floor plans and well-designed living spaces, which have been…read moresome of the highlights of our experience here. The apartments themselves are comfortable, and the property is generally well maintained. Unfortunately, there are several ongoing issues that have added unnecessary stress to daily living. The biggest concern is parking. There is no assigned parking, and despite paying a significant amount in rent, residents often return home to find no available spaces near their building. It is not uncommon to have to park on the opposite side of the complex and walk a considerable distance home, which can be especially frustrating after a long day or during bad weather. Another issue is the trash and recycling situation. There is only one centralized trash disposal area serving the entire complex. On weekends, when trash collection does not occur, the dumpsters frequently overflow, with garbage and recycling accumulating outside the containers. This creates unpleasant odors, appears unhygienic, and raises concerns about attracting rodents and pests. Additionally, there appears to be inconsistent enforcement of parking rules. We have observed individuals parking in handicap-designated spaces without displaying the required handicap placards or license plates, seemingly without consequence. This is concerning and unfair to residents who genuinely need those spaces. While the apartments themselves are nice and spacious, improvements in parking management, waste collection, and rule enforcement would significantly improve the overall resident experience.

The care and services provided residents in top notch. I have one personal issue that frustrates me; there is not centralized WiFi/internet for residents New Horizons offers a few community PC's which until three to five years ago would have been adequate. Today however most families and seniors are very connected. Tools such as Zoom allow social interaction even when a visit isn't possible. During the COVID pandemic during serious influenza, visits may not be an option. Use of communal area PCs would greatly increase risk of virus transmission to the general population. New Horizons negotiated a price per resident for seniors to get internet ($30 per month) per resident. This is no bargain, and generally seniors are very concerned about any extra expenditures which makes the cost a battle. I hope New Horizons will upgrade their technology to equal their other service delivery

STAY AWAY! DO NOT LIVE HERE IF YOU VALUE ENJOYING YOUR HOME IN PEACE AND NOT BEING HARASSED!…read more If I could give this place 0 stars I would. It has been nothing short of a nightmare living at Avalon Marlborough. Since 3-4 months into my lease, I have suffered continued harassment orchestrated by my neighbors and the incompetent property manager Elizabeth Murak. It is a known and documented tactic that as soon as a Black person moves into the neighborhood and a neighbor starts complaining of odor, it's racially motivated. They came to my home and have even looked through my trash, CONFIRMED there was nothing coming from my unit -- in person and in writing. They have done an "inspection" over 3 times AND STILL continue to harass me. When the tactic of saying it smells like trash didn't work, they then moved on to say the smell must be coming from my dogs. They completely LIED and MADE UP that my dogs relieve themselves inside my home and that there are pee pads everywhere... AGAIN, WHAT!?? How is it possible a neighbor is allowed to fabricate and lie to this extent and when confronted, the office does nothing about it? In fact, they are fueling her racially motivated claims. I have video footage of the day the office came to my home, in which you can clearly see the home is clean, no pee pads, and my dogs' area is spotless. I have no idea of the communications between the neighbor and the office or who exactly is saying what. They come to my home whenever they want and disrupt my day. I have a job, I work from home, I don't have time for this. I know for a fact they have not harassed the neighbors to the same extent they have harassed me. When I asked why, they said "because we know from the side where the smell is coming from." WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN??? Clearly a bunch of geniuses are on the situation. To paint the picture, what separates my unit and the neighbors is the garage, and probably the kitchen has a shared wall. My dogs' room is in front of the house. Do you know how strong of an odor would need to be present to go through my dogs' room, through the garage, to their unit??? Nobody is using their brain when making conclusions, because that is absolutely the most ludicrous thing. Anyone walking by would then be making a complaint. You would be able to smell an odor from the outside of my home if a smell is SO STRONG that it's seeping through rooms and a concrete garage. I have VERY severe asthma. I am extremely sensitive to odors, dust, mold, etc. Besides the fact that I'm personally an organization and neat freak, I keep my home in immaculate condition. My home is professionally cleaned at a minimum 1-2 times a month, and I additionally regularly schedule bulk pickup to remove larger junk or trash (anything I can't donate to charity). I've been getting rid of old furniture and old items since moving in. I usually put anything into those large black contractor bags because it's easier. I've also ordered new items, so I have a lot of cardboard and packaging. Apparently, I'm not allowed to do that. They sent me a letter stating "There was large amounts of trash seen being taken away from your home in October." Thanks for confirming I'm under surveillance and you're watching me. But also, why am I not allowed to clean my home and make room for new things?? And how is it that you came to the conclusion that "odorous trash" was picked up from my home? Additionally, particularly where I live, it smells of marijuana, cigarettes, and the smaller dog park always has poop and the fake grass smells of urine. It's completely unsanitary. The people in this neighborhood who own smaller dogs do not pick up after their dogs. So let's be VERY serious -- there isn't an odor coming from my home. It's pure laziness and gross negligence on behalf of Elizabeth Murak and Avalon Marlborough. I'm not your scapegoat, and I'm not going to continually be harassed out of my home. These people are absolutely insane. I've had to leave my own home for extended amounts of time just so that I can try to relax. My hair is falling out due to the excessive stress they have brought upon my life from their lies and harassment. I've been living in housing communities for over a decade and have never experienced this level of discrimination or harassment. I've had to engage my counsel and the proper authorities to deal with this matter. It's an absolute waste of time and money. I regret nothing more than the day I moved into this property. If you are Black, you are not welcome in this neighborhood. Stay far away. The 2 guys from maintenance have always been kind when I interact with them. They are always quick to respond and very helpful. So I guess they can be excluded from this.

If you have a garage, good for you, enjoy those 2 spots, plus a free pass to take any other parking space you find to be convenient for you. No garage? Awesome! You are the winner of being able to park far from your apartment when you get home from work. Have kids? Good for you because not only is there play parks, there's also driveways and parking lots for them to run around in. Who doesn't like dog poo....there's tons of dog poo stations with FREE BAGS. But wait there's more! There's thousands of square feet of soft grassy areas for the dog poo to dry out on. It is utter chaos. Tons of completely unenforced rules, and remarkably frustrating parking that neither Avalon, or anyone else cares about. The idea of, and esthetics of these places are cute, but it's a cash grab.
