I really want to give a minus point if it's possible. The only trick their managers could do is…read moreignore former renter's reasonable request, so I have nothing to hide anymore. One more thing I need to remind you guys is that the 5 stars reviews are published by the pressure of managers by 50 bucks so be careful. Actually my move-in date should be August 15th last year and the real move-in date is September 23rd. That was a miserable time,we take our luggages from place to place searching for short rents because of the 5 times of delay.That really sucks. After I moved in,things are getting a little bit better.The apartments are new and the facilities are okay.But we didn't get our compensation after several hard meetings with the manager which should be all set already but ignored by the managers. The price is going higher and higher and it's totally not worthy to live there. There are tons of apartments which are better than this. This apartment just trick new coming international students and trust me, I've lived there. What's more, good services cannot be the reason to ignore people after they moved out. They didn't return my security deposit after I moved out, even don't return my emails so be careful of the irresponsible managers. After been here for this long, choosing Residence@MaldenCenter is the worst decision I've made because I not only met awful managers but also suffered from serious arrogant and naive&disgusting roommates. I'll never made that mistake ever again. If I can't get my security deposit back, I think it's my obligation to let everyone around here to know, be careful about this apartment. Some things are not what they seem to be.

When I moved in early July 2018, I was told that the garage I've already paid for was still under construction. I waited for two months parking in the public garage across the street.

I talked to the leasing office and they said they would let me switch when another spot becomes available.

The hot water problem in the bathroom was also solved with same output - it makes some noise now. I might have to call them again to check. Overall I am satisfied with the support I get at Rivers Edge. Maintenance was always prompt and nice. They seem to know what they are doing. One suggestion for improvement would be to have consideration for the renter's property. Lucky that I realized I should take the bathroom rugs away, because otherwise they would step all over them. I also had to clean and sanitize the bathroom tub after the repair. There was no protection of the tub during the plumbing work, so cleaning was on me. Maybe it's not a good idea to call maintenance for 3 different works. One at a time might give better results.

Do yourself a favor and live elsewhere, it'll almost definitely be less expensive and less frustrating than this place.

Not only was he quick to answer questions, he went the extra mile to ensure we were well taken care of. Thanks Michael!

We moved in from out of state as we needed to live out of boxes on a temporary lease while we were…read morehouse hunting. We got here less than a week before before the COVID shut downs so we didn't get to use the amenities like the pool, gym, BBQ area but it all looked nice. While the apartments are nice, I would say the construction of the cabinetry or the appliances aren't quite the best quality, it all looks nice and it all works which is the most important thing. I've lived in apartment complexes before and some of them bank on hitting you for fees especially at move-in and move-out. This is not the case. The staff from the maintenance people to the management are attentive and actually care. A case in point: we had a cat which is $50/month pet me. He was an old man and got sick. We had to put him to rest. We had already paid our rent and they had no problem crediting back the monthly pet fee and adjusting the rate. There is a package locker here but most of the time the Amazon workers don't care and dump the packages in the lobby of the building you're in. No amount of correspondence from the management here could ever possibly rectify that because the people delivering the packages don't get paid enough to care. As a result, some packages end up in weird places. On a couple occasions someone from the staff had actually brought over some things outside our door, which was much appreciated especially during the height of the COVID outbreak when we were limiting our entrance and exit through common areas. The one time I had to file a noise complaint it was handled immediately. This is the place where you're walking around and the maintenance staff will ask you how you're doing. Stop and ask to see if everything is all good and make sure nothing doesn't need to be fixed. We moved out because we found our perfect home. We didn't hold our breath thinking they could re-lease the unit but we were able to get off the last month and one week of rent owed because someone leased the unit we vacated. We had no issue getting the deposit back - minus the replacement cost for the blinds our toddler broke. We really liked the short distance to the ALDI and Stop And Shop and other places. Would've loved to have been able to frequent the bar up the road, it was just opening up its outdoor space by the time we moved. A+ no regrets. Thanks Todd, Craig, and everyone else.

Long and thorough review alert!…read more About Me (what type of renter am I): With my job I relocate every 3 months and for the past ~2 years I've had no desire to stay at the same place for longer than 3 months. The key things I look for in an apt is safe, clean, affordable (can you even say this in MA lol), free parking, and my own bathroom (typically live with roommates). Wellington Place: I moved here Mar 2020, to take over someone's lease that lost their job. It fit the bill of what I was looking for, in addition to being in walking distance (within 10 minute walk) of my top grocery stores: Aldi, Trader Joes, and Stop & Shop. Its approx 15 min walk to Assembly Row, 5 min drive to Target and Costco, and 5 min drive to Wegmans. Its by far the most convenient location I've lived in within the US. Its a quick drive to Boston about 15-20 min drive and about 20 min drive to Burlington where I frequent for work. Lastly, its about 5 min walk to Orange line Wellington T stop. If you have a car, parking is plentiful here, no long treks to the car :). Aside from location I loved that they have trash and recycling drop off on each floor; hence, you don't have to worry about stepping foot outside to throw away trash. I'm an avid recycler so I loved that they had this option available (my previous apt in Burlington didn't). The rooms are huge. I have my office inside of my bedroom and a queen size bed and I still have more space. I also have a good size walk-in closet. However, my roommate's room and walk-in closet is much bigger than mine (I'm sure she can fit in addition to a desk a small couch in her room). When it comes to cost, they are very affordable for the location. I try to keep a hard cap on living expenses (no more than 1,500 a mo. including utilities). Lastly the staff from the maintenance team to the leasing office are customer-centric. I had initially told them that I would be moving after 3 months once I moved in but I fell in love with the place. They provided concessions to ensure that I was a happy a customer. Maintenance staff are very responsive and do a good job of following up after they fix items to ensure it works. I honestly wish that these were condos instead of apt because I would definitely look into buying here. If you're looking for an A1 experience I highly suggest Wellington Place :).

Some residents have had cops threatened on them for advocating for what they know is included in lease, others harassed. I've suggested many solutions and was told no every time. They do not offer solutions, only make problems worse until you give up. All the amenities and appliances are going but they do not want to properly fix them. It took over 2 years to get a properly working washing machine. Hallways are dark with lights out, and animal stains on stairway rugs. The trash room left dirty and smelly, cleaners only here during business hours so place looks dirty all the time. Rats dead by pool waterline that front desk was made aware of and ignored until a resident picked it up. Rodent co here every other week. The pool was not properly cleaned or drained. Courtyard pitch black so unsafe and unable to use in evening. Many trespassers using amenities and smoking in hallways setting alarms off and stealing packages and food deliveries. Rent increased by a couple hundreds of dollars every year with nothing to show. Sold as dog friendly, then they banned dogs everywhere including courtyard, but rats overrun it and are obviously allowed! Higher ups in company don't care either they just don't want you to put them on blast publicly. I've contacted the current management in many ways, but they only responded to google review and asked it to be removed without fixing ongoing AC problem.

The sound insulation is wonderful. (I know they exist because I've seen them in the hallways.) * The concierge desk is so helpful... Some concierge members will take groceries to your door or really do anything else that's kind and caring. * The community spaces are beautiful.

I was panicking that we wouldn't be able to find anything, and other brokers were either completely unresponsive or were only showing us apartments in one of those gigantic complexes, which is really not what we were looking for. We found one of Claude's listings on craigslist, and gave him a call. He showed us the apartment the same afternoon, and we fell in love with it immediately. Claude made sure we actually got the apartment (even though the landlord had many others look at it the same day), and we put down the deposit the same day. He then organized everything from lease signing to getting the electric in our name. We our now all moved in and absolutely love the place. Unlike the other brokers we met with who all seemed to be college kids with little experience, Claude is experienced and knows what he's doing. Very highly recommended!
