Swimming pool? Basketball Court? Gym for adults? AND - the nicest management STAFF you can possibly imagine. Mail/package reception and super fast repair/maintenance. Never had a problem here - highly recommend :-) [Not sure why someone said the buildings were loud. It's not loud at all. I've lived in some apartment buildings where you could literally hear the upstairs cat's toenails clicking on hardwood floor or lapping water from a bowl. Nothing like that here - or loud, crazy neighbors. Everyone here is very nice.]

The apartment itself is nice and comfortable and full of light and my neighbors are nice and I love…read morethat there is such diversity and it makes me happy to see all the kids outside playing and all the people walking their dogs, but there are multiple things that do not work for me. 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.

The quality of the apartments has declined without any input from the residence an example would be…read morehad very nice lighting was substituted with subpar cheap. The parking has been horrendous. Their solution is to take away more parking for reserved, which makes it harder for somebody because those parking spots are no longer available even if nobody's in them. They also want to start charging for parking for visitors with the cost of rent which I find is on the very high end that is not acceptable. Parking is the main concern. All decisions are made as a business not taking into consideration. This is where we're living. It's not a business to us.

It is an apartment complex that does not have amenities such as a gym, pool, grills, etc. It is aimed at the working professional. The managers treat everyone like family which makes this place unique. They are courteous, professional, yet fun and VERY prompt with requests and suggestions. Note: because of the buildings being very new and privately owned, they are more expensive. However, you do get 9 foot ceilings, lots of room, in-house washers/dryers, central air, and the buildings are all energy efficient (our monthly electric bill hasn't passed $80 and we blast the AC almost all day everyday).

I moved to Madison Place almost 2 years ago after a divorce. I looked at most of the other…read moreapartment complex's in the area before selecting Madison. The alternative apartments were either: a) reasonable rent, generic with white walls, white carpeting, walled off Kitchenettes with old appliances b) high rent, well equipped with modern designs, fitness rooms (extra fees), tennis courts and outdoor pools Madison Place features apartments with a modern, open design. The kitchen faces out to the living area and has granite counter tops, new appliances and track lighting. Washer and dryer are tucked away nicely behind a sliding door. A bonus feature is the large storage closet directly across the hall from the apartment. It totally beats having to go to a storage cage in some creepy basement like most places. It's the kind of place where a successful professional would want to live. Madison purposefully lacks the outdoor amenities like a pool and tennis courts in favor of charging less for rent. I am always able to park close to my building with plenty of spots for company. In addition to the great design and reasonable rent, the office team, Jen and Mark, are incredibly good-natured, responsive and customer service oriented. I always leave the office with my questions answered and a smile on my face. Anytime I receive packages during the work day, I find them right outside the door of my second floor apartment. I could easily pick them up at the office, but having the staff bring them right to my place is a welcome luxury. Lastly, the couple times where I needed minor repairs, the maintenance guy, Eddie, completed the work the same day. Parking lots are well cleared during the snow. Essentially, if you want an upscale apartment for a generic apartment rent, with customer service oriented office / maintenance staff, I highly recommend MP in Shrewsbury.

Lived here for about 3 years and recently moved out…read more Pluses: The location is very convenient being right by all sorts of grocery stores and businesses. The landscaping is quaint and makes the area a nice place for walking around during summer evenings. There's lots of guest parking. Minuses: No central A.C. Broken laundry machines regularly. Constant scent of curry on the floors and gym. Slow elevators. In my opinion, the price for rent is not worth it, but being a corporate business, Corcoran charges the amounts that people will pay to live in Shrewsbury.

While living at Imperial for two years, I always paid rent on time and had a good relationship with…read morethe office manager. Everything went well until it was time for me to move out, because they increased the rent by $200 more per month (whatever happened to being grandfathered in?). So, I found another apartment. I made sure we left their apartment spotless. I even hired a cleaner, and they did a great job. After I moved out, the office demanded that I pay $1,000 for supposed damage to their "chrome" refrigerator. I have absolutely no recollection of ever damaging it. When I asked for a picture of the damage, it turned out to be nothing more than a tiny scratch--about the size of a quarter--and hardly noticeable. Yet they claimed they had to replace their 2 years old refrigerator with a brand-new one. Seriously? Over a quarter-sized scratch? Come on. Is that really the thanks I get from them? If you want to move in, make sure NOT to scratch their chrome appliances.

The most horrendous rental experience I've ever had and I've been here less than a week…read more After 2 nights here I began noticing itchy bite marks all over my arms. This place is INFESTED with bed bugs. So after moving almost all of my things in, I report the issue and ask for a resolution. It's been 4 days and I've been spending my nights at hotels with no clear solution in sight. Everything I brought here has to be treated or disposed of, and while I wait for pest control to arrive tomorrow, all of my belongings are being exposed. So I'm completely stuck and in an impossible situation. I can't move, and I can't stay. The property manager has no real power and has to run back and forth between me and her manager to get anything done. I have suffered severe emotional trauma from this, it has been impossible to sleep and I don't feel safe here at all. They sent a rep from their preferred pest control company who clearly wants to keep costs low for his business partner, he was rude and incompetent. He kept insisting on inspecting items that had been here for a day or two, and ignored me when I tried pointing out where I had seen live bugs crawling around. I noticed feces in a small Crack in a bedroom closet, and asked of they could at least use silicone or caulk to prevent any further bugs from spreading in here while I wait for them to actually treat the space this Friday and they refused. As far as I know, they are also not treating any other units, which is obviously the source of the infestation. I have never dealt with anything like this, it's been one of the worst weeks of my life, and I literally have never even gotten an apology. I'm sick to my stomach with this place. Find somewhere else to live, don't make the same mistake I did.

I have been a resident here for 16 years and have used the pool every year it has been open. Over…read moretime, it seems that new rules are being added each season, but the most recent change is particularly concerning. Residents are now being told that it is a Massachusetts state law that everyone must leave the entire pool area whenever the lifeguard takes a break. During these breaks, all residents are required to wait outside the gate for approximately 10-15 minutes until the lifeguard returns. In previous years, the rule was simply that swimmers had to exit the pool and remain clear of the water while the lifeguard was away. At no point during the past 16 years has there been a requirement for all residents to leave the pool enclosure entirely. I have reviewed information from Mass.gov and other sources and have not found any state law requiring all patrons to leave the entire pool area during a lifeguard break. If this policy is based on a specific state regulation, I would appreciate being provided with the exact citation or source. My concern is not only whether this rule is being accurately represented, but also why a policy that is now described as mandatory was never enforced or communicated in previous years. If this is a local policy rather than a state requirement, residents should be informed accordingly. I respectfully request clarification regarding the legal basis for this rule and the reasoning behind its implementation.

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..
