Edgewater Place Condominiums is old apartment building. The rental units are old and updated and…read morenot well maintained by the owners. The Heating systems are horrible. You need four humidifiers to keep you healthy. The place is run by a Board of Trustees rules about noises and parking, if you break a rule, you will be fined. When the Board of Trustees create issues, they do not fix them, they just ignore them. The parking lot was redone, and the parking spaces are super small. The trustees do not fix this issue, they just ignored it. I have an extra small parking space. It is a seven point to pull the car of out and four attempts to get my car into this space. I am not able to open my car door. I must squeeze in and out of my car. When I complained about this issue, I was told I could rent a space from another resident. The trustees hired a weatherproofing company to redo the balcony doors. This company had a mishap and I have Epoxy all over my car. The weatherproofing company gave me a small check to get my car fixed. I am expected to pay out of pocket to get my car fixed. I will eventually get reimbursed. I am still missing a screen in the living area. The screens were removed on August, 2021. I would not recommend this place to any renters. Renters pay rent and are not treated well around this place.

This is a great place to live! The building is mostly owner-occupied, but I rented a 500ft2 studio…read moreunit from an owner for about 2 years. It is only a 10-minute walk to the North Quincy T station, which is very convenient. Unfortunately, it is not well lit and there are not sidewalks, so it is a bit precarious at night and during the winter. The foyer was recently updated with paint, new furniture, plants, etc.; the elevator updated with beautiful new tile, and all of the hallway carpeting replaced. Entry to the building is by key-fob or buzzer only, and the foyer is monitored by video camera. I have always felt very, very safe there. The tenants/owners are a mix of young families (more and more babies lately), young professionals, and middle-aged folks. I've never had an issue with loud neighbors or any sort of disturbance. The building is not pet-friendly and is also non-smoking. The pool is open memorial day - labor day, I believe. It isn't heated, but it's so nice to have a private place to enjoy a dip! There is a community room by the pool, which includes restrooms and a sauna (out of order and used as a closet). The community room is pretty dingy, which is too bad because it would make a great place to have a baby shower, birthday party, etc. If your unit is in the front of the building, your private balcony has an unfortunate view of the parking lot and the highway. However, if you're in the back, you've got a stunning spot to watch the sun set, the 4th of July fireworks, and the Neponset river. There are walking trails very close by, as well as a supermarket/gym within a mile. Very close to the highway. If you've got a bike, there is a locked bike room especially for you. Mobility issues? No problem, you can take the elevator! There are two! Amy Nutter of the Niles Company (Building Management) is notoriously hard to get ahold of. BUT, on-site maintenance (His name is "D") is absolutely phenomenal and is also available for side-jobs, like fixing your garbage disposal, etc. Trotsky, who cleans the hallways early in the morning, is a wonderful guy, and has even given me a lift to the train a few times! Building maintenance does a PHENOMENAL job of clearing the snow. Your deeded parking spot will e kept clean. Seriously- these folks are out there plowing as soon as the snow starts to fall. I have never had an issue getting to my car. The pathways are also salted and the foyer is kept fry in the snow/rain. Also- there is ample guest parking as well as a little bit of street parking. Tenants/Owners atre very respectful about parking spaces- I've never had anyone park in mine!

"It's simply my opinion, and apparently the experience was different for another reviewer." So is it fact?.....or opinion? MY PHOTOS WERE.NOT.TAKEN. during renovation. How dare other reviewers presume to know anything about when my photos were taken. I have nothing to gain by showing photos or lying about them. I'm not an irate ex-tenant, I wasn't forced out and I left on very good terms. I believe that people deserve to know what they're investing in and I would want someone to do the same for me, if the situation were reversed. This is my experience and other reviewers have no business disputing that or tearing my experiences apart. I never said the building wasn't lovely and unique because of it's age. I never said neighbors, during my tenure, were arrogant or unkind. What I did say that is that building owners/management did a sloppy job with construction and took the cheap route with sub-flooring and walls/wall thickness and HVAC, especially, and that if you're considering investing a half million dollars in a unit, you shouldn't be able to hear your neighbors through the walls while you sleep, shouldn't have a film of rock and subflooring dust on/in everything (including your lungs) and shouldn't have to suffer through the hottest/coldest days of the year without a/c and heat. This WAS my experience and other people deserve to know that. Continue to live pridefully and harmoniously with your neighbors in your beautifully appointed surroundings and let people decide what inevitable "issues" they're willing to deal with, after they've invested 100's of thousands of dollars.

We have lived at the Lofts at Lower Mills since Fall of 2011. We had sold our condo in a…read morethree-unit triple decker and were curious to see if we would like living in a larger building so we decided to rent. Well, we loved it so much we bought our unit. With regard to the previous review, I am somewhat surprised that this individual would stay for 5 years if they had such an awful experience. Certainly you could find units with lower rent in other developments. However, we have found the Lofts at Lower Mills worth the price. The grounds are well maintained, as are the common spaces of the building. We have found the maintenance and cleaning staff to be top-notch and incredibly helpful. As renters, maintenance work orders were quickly completed. You would be hard-pressed to find better on-site staff. Heck, they were helping us re-direct our ceiling lights on Christmas Eve and they couldn't have been more pleasant about it!! We have had a very different experience from the previous reviewer. We have never had issue with mold on the brick and we live on the river-side of the building. The most we have had to do is cut away the ivy that sometimes grows over a corner of our window. The brick is gorgeous and it is what most people are drawn to when they enter our unit. As this was a factory before there are some nicks and dings but we feel that adds to the character of the unit. Also, we had a housing inspector go over the building (including the roof and the basement/crawl space) and he remarked that he was incredibly impressed with the structure and its integrity, especially given its location next to and over a running body of water. We have not been bothered by sound from other units. We never hear the neighbors on our floor. We used to have a couple with three young children above us and we would hear them occasionally but it did not bother us. It was far from loud and we only heard them when one of the kids would take a digger and cry. Having lived in a triple-decker I know what it's like to hear your neighbors and this is significantly better. We did have an issue when we first moved in where we would find wood dust/dirt in one spot. We called Winn and they fixed it immediately. The contractor explained to me it was from the original wood beams that are designed to expand and contract in their metal frame. Again, it was fixed in 15 minutes and never an issue again. We have not had the same dust and cement issues the previous reviewer had while she lived here. I will agree the HVAC has been problematic. I think the condo association, to whom Winn (now Barkan) paid dues to when the building was not owner-occupied, nickel-and-dimed the HVAC repairs for our building as we were "renters" in the Lofts at Lower Mills. Now that the building is converted and is owner-occupied, with owners who will now serve on the condo association board, I am confident better representation will result in a better job addressing this issue. I should also add when we were without AC for a few hot days we would ask Winn to credit our rent and they did so quite willingly. Overall we have found that with good communication we have been able to address any concerns we have had. We are realists and expect there to be issues that arise in any large building whether it is apartments or condos. Our issues have been minimal and when we shared our concerns with management, and now with our condo representatives, they have been addressed. We have loved our living experience here which is why we chose to buy. Yes, the units are not inexpensive but we felt they were well worth the cost. We should note we are not the only renters who chose to buy. Lower Mills is such a wonderful community with so much to offer. You can walk to shops, the grocery store and restaurants. You are right on public transportation and adjacent to a fabulous bike path. The building is wonderful if you have pets as there is a DCR park right next to the Water Mill Building. Overall, the people who have moved in are polite and engaging but respectful of each others privacy. We are thrilled that we were able to purchase our unit at the Lofts at Lower Mills and we have thoroughly enjoyed living in the building and in this neighborhood.

I bought my condo at MBH 10 years ago and have had no regrets. Is it perfect? No, nothing is…read more I'd give it 5 stars, but I'm not looking forward to the Wollaston T station closing for two years! It is so wonderful not to have to shovel snow!!!!!!!!!!!!! The trustees are mindful of tough economic times faced by most of the residents and they are careful about how our monthly HOA fees are spent. The dumpster was provided by waste management service hired by the City of Quincy. Yes, many hallway light fixtures were removed, but if you asked to have specific light fixtures reinstalled all you had to do was ask, I did and Tom reinstalled the light near one of the exit doorways. All of the lightbulbs were then replaced with led lights which are brighter, though I agree some areas are still darker. More people should have asked. Yes, packages are at risk of being stolen, but that is kind of a fact of life nowadays. I don't think it is fair to only blame other residents of the building (I've never seen empty packages in any stairwells I use). I know that I had one package stolen recently and the packaging turned up on Bass St. The woman who found it managed to find my phone number and called to let me know. I've had hundreds of packages delivered to me at MBH (I'm car-free another bonus of living at MBH), and only 3 were stolen. There is a lot of nice to say about MBH, I've made some good friends here. The makeup of the building is very diverse. It is a great place for seniors, but there are also many young professionals and young families living here. I must not have noticed those rude maintenance announcements, but then I've been riding the Red Line for over thirty years so my skin must be thicker. JMHOYMMV

I lived there for 8 years 2013 until 2021. When I first moved in it was pretty nice. There are 3…read morepools an indoor pool. It was quiet and well kept. Never had a problem or complaint UNTIL The Dartmouth Group TDG came in. They have turned that place into a nightmare. They're horrible to work with and deal with. You have NO say in how your property gets repaired. They hire contractors that do a horrible job and have to come back out 2 and 3 times to fix their subpar job. They re-shingled the roof at our townhouse and the contractors didn't seal it properly. Myself and my other 3 neighbors all had squirrels in our attics. TDG brought us a cage to catch the squirrels in like it was our responsibility instead of getting an exterminator. It was also our responsibility to clean up the mess left by the squirrel that were there because THEY hired crappy contractors that didn't do the job properly. TDG never checked. We paid close to $500 a month in HOA fees yet our street did not get plowed MULTIPLE times. The complex is so big that if you need to be plowed out before work you better buy a snow blower and shovel and prepare to do it yourself! The sprinkler systems don't work in more than half the complex. The pools that your HOA dues go towards are closed 30%-50% of the time. The reasons: they couldn't find life guards or this is broken or whatever but frankly I think my estimate is low it seemed it was closed more than it was open. The gym was closed due to water damage from the pool for MONTHS. You pay all this money for these amenities yet you can't use them. You pay all this money for maintenance and they don't do a good job hiring quality people or check on the repairs being done. The HOA fees will be increasing as they've just taken out a 3 million dollar loan and by the looks of the financials the property will be in the red by 2025 and require more special assessments. The can and will do special assessments meaning you have to drop $1000+ at the drop of the hat. Be aware that unless you get lucky your HOA fee might be more than your neighbors if you happen to live on the wrong side of the property. The crime seems to be getting worse. Cars get broken into and stolen. If you're being harassed by one of your neighbors the HOA will not do anything but tell you it's a police matter. The police won't do anything without evidence and the HOA now has a policy about cameras so providing evidence will be tricky. If you have no where else to go this place will work, I guess there are worse places than this, but if you have a choice avoid this community at all costs. This doesn't even cover all the issues in this community I'd say this is just the tip of the iceberg. Purchase at your own risk. You've been warned! Oh and they just wasted $20k of your HOA fees to force everyone to paint their doors a hideous yellow! Homeowners had NO say!
