I am a professional and have lived at The Amelia for several years; I would not have stayed if it…read morewere not ALL that it is! 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.

Pros: 1. The apartment complex is clean and they have…read morecleaners vacuum and wipe surfaces weekly. 2. The amenities are nice and maintained 3. The leasing office and maintenance are responsive Cons: 1. Utilities are too high and property management/ leasing office refuse to do anything about it. For a 2 bed/2 bath my average water bill was $85 for normal use ( e.g. - quick daily showers, wash clothes once a week or every other week etc). The electric bill was an average of $250 and closer to $400 in the winter months because heating is also electric. So if you actually like to be warm during the winter months keep that expense in mind. 2. The walls are paper thin, you will not hear your neighbors next to you but you can hear every foot step of upstair neighbors. Hopefully you don't have a family with young kids above you, unfortunately I did. And the leasing office did nothing about it. 3. When I moved out, I was charged for scratches on the stove and +$200 was deducted from security deposit for "damages" so be aware that they will do anything to take out of security deposit if and when you move. 4. Although the apartment complex is nice, I believe the rent is overpriced and charging $100 for parking is also too much considering how much renters pay in rent; ultimately its not worth it and renters can find apartments just as nice that don't have as high rent and better located.

I'm very happy to have moved to Oak Row a month ago. It seems like many reviews online are from a…read moreprevious management company. The current management has been great from my experience so far and Matt and Ryan in the leasing office are phenomenal! They smile and greet you as you walk by and are very approachable and quick to address any questions or issues. The apartment itself is very nice with an open floor plan and new, brand-name appliances. Side note - the water pressure in the showers is amazing. There are some great amenities like game rooms and a well-rounded gym. They also have work from home spaces and a kid's play room. Outside there is a fenced-in dog run to let your dog off leash. Some owners don't pick up after themselves but that's the same anywhere you go unfortunately. The place as a whole is very pet friendly and I see a lot of dogs around. Also, it's just a 5 minute walk to Millennium Park which is a great spot to walk your dog. Did I mention there's literally a dog daycare across the street and it's one of the nicest ones I've seen? For parking, there's assigned spaces outside in the lot and inside the garage. They also have 4 electric vehicle charging stations (8 spaces) which is a huge bonus. You pay for your parking spaces but the charging station is free so it's not so bad. Although no apartment building is perfect, I can say that I'm very happy with Oak Row overall and I'd highly recommend it!

It's your typical apartment complex run by a property management company. Lived there two years but…read morehad to move because the rent kept going up. Property management was easy to deal with but then again was never late on rent and only had to have maintenance come to the apartment once. The walls are thin so be ready to hear everything all your neighbors are doing on. Doesn't matter if they are across the hall, right next to you, or live above you; you'll hear them like they are screaming in your living room. Also, be prepared for your neighbors to just buzz anyone in without checking to see who it is, even though property management had a no soliciting policy and sign always got door to door sales people peddling a scam. Plus while I was there, there was a home invasion, the perps got in because they rung each apartment in the building until someone buzzed them in without checking. Not the managements fault they put the security measure in place and people are just too lazy to use it properly. Get a PO box if you have mail larger than an envelope coming to you. Postman will leave anything that doesn't fit in the tiny mailboxes out in the lobby, had a few packages stolen from the lobby and from my front door, until I got my PO set up. Again, not managements problem not like they can tell a thief from a credit check. Though if asked office staff will hold packages at the office for you until you pick them up which they don't have to do but is helpful. Plenty of washers and dryers to use except when someone decides to hog them all for the day, usually someone with their whole family and extended family crammed into a 3 bedroom apartment. When I was there management would put a stop to it, if something was said but there was a laundry mat down the street and was cheaper to use. Really just your typical apartment living rants but enough to mention. When I moved out got all my security deposit back, which was great. All in all the staff was helpful and nice, probably would have stayed if the rent hadn't kept going up.
