While still living in Atlanta, GA, I found the Highland House on the Internet because I…read more had decided that Worcester was in the middle of my market. The Realtor showed me that building and several others and none held a candle to the first place I saw. So I signed the lease that day and went back to Atlanta to move. I lived there for four years and was proud to call it home. I always felt good leaving on business trips knowing that the building was being managed well and I had no worries. The neighbors quickly became friends as did the staff. I was always happy to show off my apartment to friends, many of whom said, "this building is a jewel!" I never asked for anything that was not accommodated quickly. the staff always exceeded my expectations. Even locking myself out of the car in a snow storm at the grocery was not a problem. I called Joe, the manager who quickly sent a staff member to help me. I retrieved my extra set of keys and was back on the road. That is better service that AAA. I hated that my job moved to a different part of New England and I had to leave the Highland House. I would happily move back there next week if it were possible, I highly recommend The Highland House in Worcester to anyone looking for new Home and commend Joseph, Jerry and the entire staff who were an important part of my life for four too short years..

This apartment complex is for you if you are fine with: - poisons being sprayed all over the common green space areas where children play and people and dogs walk; - "landscapers" mercilessly mutilating what could be beautiful trees and flowering shrubs into small lumps; - the super loud sound of leaf blowers; - alarms going off for months without maintenance doing anything about it and them acting like you are the problem for asking them to fix the alarm and make the horrendous noise stop; - maintenance not communicating about the work they did, nor seeking clarification with you about the work that needs to be done, nor when they will be in your apartment doing the work, and then maintenance accusing you of being disrespectful for requesting clear communication; - automatic toxic room "fresheners" in the fitness rooms (I had so been looking forward to using them but did not want to breathe the toxins); - crazy loud HVAC units constantly blasting noise making you feel like you are in a non-stop giant engine room in your own home; - ridiculously bright light pollution that is hard to block out at night and visually assaults you when you look out your windows or open your door; there is no reason for such a multitude of super bright, white lights and it is a waste of electricity. When I moved in, there were several things broken in my apartment and things that still needed to be cleaned. Over the first month, maintenance was responsive and did the repairs and cleaning (like the ceiling fan that I could not reach to clean was caked in thick dirt and dust and grease, and the bathroom fan did not work because the painters sprayed the bumpy ceiling paint spray all over it), but they left all the dirt and debris for me to clean up. I never had that experience before where maintenance workers expected me to clean up their mess. It would be useful for them to have a checklist to go through before a tenant moves in to make sure that everything is working and clean. Other than that, the location is good. Visually the aesthetics of the buildings are okay. There is plenty of parking. I like that there are many trees around and I can go for long walks in the neighborhood. I like that they plant flowers at different locations there. The price is expensive but bearable.

I have lived here for over 4 years and I am proud to call Plantation Ridge home…read more First off, you can't beat the Management team. Michelle Hippert is the original person who showed me the apartment and she's had an amazing attitude and attention since the beginning. She always goes above and beyond to make sure I'm comfortable and happy in my apartment. The maintenance staff is exceptional. I love that they are available, friendly, and great at what they do. If I ever need help with anything, they respond right away. (Even on a major holiday when I dropped my keys down the elevator shaft!) The apartment complex itself is fantastic- quiet but close to everything. The building and grounds are top notch and always clean. My apartment is a good size and having my own washer and dryer is a plus. The convenience of having a 24 hour fitness center right at home is a definite benefit. In the warm weather I enjoy my balcony or the beautiful pool area and grills. In the winter months, the convenience of having my car tucked away in a garage is the best. I can't say enough good things about this place. After visiting every apartment complex in the area, I know I made the right choice. The comfort and safety I have here truly makes me feel like I'm living in a luxury hotel.

If it is, they need to hire better housekeeping. I have housekept professionally for colleges, libraries and hotels and would be fired if I cleaned like the staff does here. During the summer it was disgusting going into Bancroft because the steps smelled of urine. I would always have to hold my breath. There were always random emergency alarms at any time of the day. Sadly Park Plaza is not better. Probably worse in my opinion. My dogs have to urinate in the back ally because there is no grassy area around us at all. 90% of the time the lobby and elevators smell of weed and/or garbage. There have been multiple emergency alarms, since we moved here a little over a month ago, going off at 4 in the morning. I have asked for my AC to be fixed 5 different times this month and nothing has been done to fix it. I have to keep my windows open and now my house is full of flies and bugs because there are no screens on my windows. I also have to deal with the sounds of traffic since we are on the corner of an intersection. I am very frustrated with our living situation and wish we would have made different decisions before we stayed here. I will say, I don't know if closing 7-11 was their call or not, but I appreciate it. I was verbally harassed everyday leaving and entering my building and now the crowd doesn't seem to hang around that corner as much and I am left alone.

I lived on the second floor and to throw my trash away i would have to go up a floor or two (which make no sense to go up to throw the trash down...)
