Don't live in any property they manage.

Whatever you do, do not even consider moving into any of the Metro Star Apartments in Milford! The…read moremanagment could not be more resident unfriendly. Long story short, I moved into the apartments on the green in Milford and within a short time, Metro Star started a construction project yards from my apartment window. They didn't tell me this was going to happen before I signed my lease, and have withheld any type of information about the project from its residents since then, like how long it is supposed to last or expected disruptions during the project. I had a nice view, in a quiet apartment (which is why I chose it), and now there is zero view and construction noise from 7 am to 7 pm, sometimes 7 days a week for the past 8 months or longer. I tried to be understanding, but the disruptions became more and more - blocking access to the building's parking, yelling and screaming workers, trucks coming in and out all day, idling for hours at a time causing such bad fumes I can't even open my windows at night after they leave because of the risidual smell. Add to that, there are workers staring directly into my apartment, literally yards away. I realize that Metro Star is a company and that as a company they have a right to build new units, so I asked nicely to be let out of my lease a few months early, and was told no because it would violate the Fair Housing Laws - a lie. When I pushed back against this perversion of the law, I was simply told no, they don't let people out of their lease for any reason. So I asked if I could move to another unit or building away from the noise, and was told I could but would be charged $1,500 fee. I am not sure who made that nonsensicle decision, but charging a penalty for a resident that wants to sign a new lease on a new unit but charging them $1,500 for the "honor" seems like maybe someone needs to go back to school. The last email I received sums it up perfectly, and this is a direct quote: "I'm sorry to say management has denied any concessions for the construction." The rent here is NOT cheap. There are MUCH better buildings in the area and there are MUCH MUCH better landlords. The greed that Metro Star exhibits is disgusting. They already have such a bad reputation in the community for overbuilding; and from the folks I have spoken to, it will only dive deeper into the sewer due to their lack of any kind of resident relations. Bad business practices result in bad business performance and I am bummed because I feel Milford is going to have a bunch of empty apartment buildings that will fall into disrepair as Metro Star mismanages their apartments into the ground.

There are numerous pros and cons of living here. I wish I could say there are no cons, or that the…read morenegatives are not worth being bothered by, but I can't. And it's a shame because I had wanted to live in Ninth Square for ages. We moved into the 44 Orange St. building in the middle of January of this year (You'll see another review made by Dawn B., that's my mother). Let's begin: 1. The literal moving in was a breeze. We had hired a great moving company, and Peter had made the George St. gate available to us so we could get the moving truck in. One of the two elevators in the lobby is larger and great for moving large furniture items. 2. The apartment has a lot of space. Good counter space in the kitchen, and the living room is quite large. We can fit three large turtle aquariums, a large terrarium, our kitchen table, a small freezer and two good sized arm chairs in the living room. Compared to where I've lived in the past, this is the first living room I've enjoyed hanging out in, in years. 3. Both bathrooms are a good size for what they are. The master bedroom (mine) has plenty of space for me, though my bathroom's layout is a bit weirdly shaped and my closet is small. Took a lot of reorganizing to get my closet to a point where it was working for me. I'm a creative person, and my bedroom can accommodate a few of my main hobbies. This is a dream for me because I've never had that much space before. 4. My mother's bedroom is much smaller in comparison but fits her lifestyle well enough, and the walk in closet she has is superb. I don't know what the thought process was when designing this apartment, but if my bedroom had a walk in closet my bathroom would be tiny and my room would have less space. So while her room may be smaller physically, it accommodates her better based on her lifestyle. 5. Storage is not the greatest. We have a hallway closet and a lot of stuff crammed in it. Things that cannot fit in the hallway closet, end up under our beds, in our bedroom closets, and on top of the large shelf in the laundry closet. We also have small bookshelves in the smaller of the two hallways, which we use to storage bath towels and bed sheets. They look great, and make the hallway interesting, but it means we don't have storage in any other part of the apartment for these things. 6. The washer and dryer were included with the apartment. This was a MASSIVE plus for us. Being able to do laundry in the apartment, something we've not been able to do for a very long time is phenomenal. 7. Peter, who handles leasing, is a great person and very professional. He has always treated us with respect and we enjoy talking to him whenever the opportunity arises. The young woman who works at the desk in the Crown St. office, her name escapes me, she is also very sweet and professional. She recognizes us right away when we come to retrieve packages or stop in for other reasons. Unfortunately, there are other people who work in the office, Breyone and Vesta, who are often rude, aloof and have the listening skills of socks. Conversing with them is a nightmare so we simply do not engage. The maintenance crew are the nicest people though. Professional, thorough, and overall easy to work with. When they've come in to make repairs they enjoy taking a look at our aquariums, wall hangings, and so on. There's just something that feels genuinely good about a visitor coming in and complimenting my paintings, asking about our turtles, and recognizing my mom's poster of Winston Churchill then having a cool history discussion with her about him. 8. Sadly, a few days after we moved in, my mother woke up freezing in her bedroom and found frost on the INSIDE of her bedroom windows. She documented it of course. Contacted management. One of the maintenance guys tried to seal it, but that made little difference and the issue continued. After pleading with Vesta numerous times to get the problem fixed, and after multiple promises to fix it, it wasn't actually fixed. There were other windows throughout the apartment that were accumulating sludge between the panels. Aside from it looking gross, it's an obvious sign these windows are not weather-proof. There was wood rot on windowsills. For human health this is an issue of course, especially since my mother has a neuromuscular illness and that level of freezing temperatures is not safe for her. Regardless, no one should be forced to deal with that. Don't even get me started about my reptiles and fish which are dependent on warmer conditions to stay healthy and alive! Thankfully none of my aquatic pets have been affected, but the colder conditions definitely aggravated my older cat's arthritis. In the end we brought Beacon to housing court. They were forced by the court to repair the windows. The repairs are excellent. It shouldn't have come to that though. Beacon's refusal to make repairs by ignoring us, ignoring LCI, is just atrocious and has left a bad taste in our mouths.

After 6 weeks they claim that the freezer had a 24 inches huge crack and I have to pay for it. They say that they did not notice it at the time of checking when the inspector removed the ice from the freezer and checked the temperature etc how can he miss the huge crack.!! Then they have the nerve to send me to collection for not paying 1300 dollars for fridge replacement ?? I have original clearance from inspector and that paper does not mention about the crack but they added about the crack 6 weeks later in that clearance paper and they say thats normal to add in with out my knowledge!! I will not recommend this place when you have plenty of other options (cheper and better).

We have been living at the Hilltop Terrace Apartments since 2013. We started in a one bedroom at 5…read moreBassett and moved to a 2 bedroom in 11 Bassett. I would recommend these apartments to young couples, small families and even older people. There is definitely a wide ranges of types of tenants. We have had no problems with other tenants and everyone we talk to is very nice. Upon move in the apartments are freshly painted, carpets cleaned and pretty much spotless. There is tons of closet space. Our two bedroom apartment has 6 closets! Now, this isn't the fanciest place ever. But, I would say it is by far worth the money. The bathroom could use an update and the wallpaper in the hallway isn't gorgeous but, at the end of the day, the apartment is clean, the supplied appliances are functional and it is a pleasant place to live. The super lives on site and is very helpful and friendly. We have had a few repairs done to the apartment and the management company and super have been very responsive and have done the repairs in a timely matter. No noise complaints really. Pretty much can't hear other tenants except sometimes the ones above us walking around but that is expected living in an apartment complex. Noise like music and tvs and stuff we rarely hear if ever. Also love that they have been continuing to update the buildings. The elevator was recently updated, new carpets are being installed in the hallways now and recently got surveillance cameras and a Luxor box put in. In response to the other review, the rent has not 'soared". Yes, it has increased every year but again that should be expected. Last year for us it went up 5$ per month. I think in the 6 almost 7 years we have been living there the rent has gone maybe 5$ or so each year, so not a drastic increase considering heat and hot water is included and all the recent upgrades.
