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!

I have lived here since spring of last year, and I just want to say I have never encountered staff…read morethat is as timely, efficient, accommodating, and friendly. The building manager Chris, treats you like a friendly neighbor. He goes above and beyond to make sure loose ends are tied up and is constantly on top of everything if there is ever any problems. The maintenance staff is quick to respond and usually comes sooner than 24 business hours to fix any problem we encounter. When we wanted to mount our TV to the wall and we asked for their assistance/recommendation to prevent damage, they exceeded our expectations in taking the time to work with us and even let us borrow some of their tools. The common areas of the buildings are well maintained. The free coffee in the main common room lounge is a godsend when you run out of coffee at home. When we first moved in here they gave us a housewarming box of goodies and they also have seasonal parties make living here more like a community. The sidewalks of the camelot property are groomed almost on a daily basis to remove debris. The gardens are updated every season and we get updated indoor entry way planters each season. Desk service with camera security make living less stressful knowing that my likelihood of having packages stolen or having a break in is rare. In addition, the free guest parking allows us to have family and friends over without the stress of finding parking for them. I have never had a pest problem once living here and all the common areas including the hallways are cleaned on a daily basis. In terms of negative things, there are few and far between to mention that we hadn't encountered or would encounter at another complex. Its fairly easy to hear people in the hallway or in other rooms in your own apartment unit but I have never encountered the noise of late night partiers. The gym is small but it is free to residents. The laundry occasionally will provide minor inconveniences like lost socks and clogs in the washers from people using pods. You can't control the heat in your apartment which kind of stinks but we have never had a problem where we were cold and if it does get too hot we usually just crack a window with no problem. All things considered, with all the small things this complex does for its residents, it far outweighs and makes up for the minor drawbacks it has and puts Camelot at a competitive price to nearby luxury complexes.

Good quality apartments, very friendly staff, they fix everything almost 24 hours you contact them, even during the weekend! Spacious individual parking lot. Clean and almost new gym, shared laundry (so, shipper electricity bill). Best quality that you can find in Brighton/Allston for a reasonable price. Neighbors really quiet. In more than one year, I didn't hear anything. I'm leaving because my office move to NH, but I love it here

They also give you roughly 65 days notice when increasing your rent before your lease is up, and ask for 60 days notice on a renewal. Makes sense! They can't seem to fill all vacancies for a reason but they're trying to keep up in pricing with the nicer buildings, would not recommend.

Isabella and team is ultra professional and very responsive to resident"s needs and concerns. Location is superb, there is a nice gym , plenty of common open spaces to walk and hang out. Building is pretty and windows are huge- they do have a garage next door and some construction nearby in the seaport area. I never had an issue with noise and I am a light sleeper. Front desk staff is extremely helpful and friendly. They went out of the way to send my mails when I moved out few months ago ( due to revolution in a different city). Very much appreciated. They even found a tenant as I had to leave earlier than my lease expired, and saved $$ for me. Maintenance is awesome and quick. You don't have to worry about anything 24:7 pretty much. Very clean and well designed. I can appreciate them even more now that I have moved to another apartment and the management is not even close. When I was looking to rent in seaport area last year, I saw a number of places. This place gives you maximum for your buck! Highly recommended any day. They can be a bit pricey than some newer places but they are worth it.

Renters beware. Lease at your own risk…read more Once you have signed your lease, the rental office is your adversary. Your rent will increase significantly each year. Ending your lease early is next to impossible. I was told, in writing, that (a) my lease may not be assigned under any circumstances, (b) my apartment may not be sublet under any circumstances, (c) in order to break my lease I owe 4 months' rent (2 months' notice plus a lump sum payment equal to 2 months' rent) and (d) these terms may not be amended or modified in good faith under any circumstances. My current rent is approximately $500 lower than what similar apartments in the same building are listed for and the rental office still will not work with me even though InkBlock stands to gain from ending my lease early and re-leasing my apartment. I have lived in Boston area for over 10 years and in that time I have rented in multiple apartment buildings, including apartments in other luxury buildings. I have never been treated worse by a landlord/leasing office than I have been by the leasing office at InkBlock. I would not recommend leasing an apartment here under any circumstances.

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.
