During relaxing walks through Leslie's Retreat Park, along the North River, I had admired the modern architecture of the Halstead Apartments. When it came time to leave Salem's picturesque McIntire district, it was obvious that I would move to a modern Halstead Salem Station apartment! There are no regrets! The riverside / parkside environment is relaxing, and very close to Salem's shops and museum. A 5 minute walk to Swampscott, Boston and New York bound trains. More importantly, Halstead is also walking distance to relaxing Salem Harbor, Willow's Park, Winter Island, and a short drive to Beverly's Dane Street Beach, and the beautiful beaches of the Cape Ann oceanfront . The Halstead apartments are modern, well equipped and spacious, with much storage space. Most importantly, is the absolutely excellent management staff at Halstead (Jennifer, Brian and Kayla) are more like family, very competent, and always ready to assist. Oh yes, did I mention the facilities of Building 1, extensive indoor exercise areas, meeting rooms and entertainment / social places - including a magnificent roof deck with all required facilities for a relaxing summer gathering of family and friends." Don't hesitate, 5 Stars!! Stuart M.

I left a review one year ago, what a difference a year makes. Under new management; emails to the…read moreoffice, and upper management "E" go unanswered. I have had a black fly infestation that keeps getting covered up, with no real solution to why they keep coming in my window. Ive asked for a plan to solve this multiple times, and no response. I clean flys daily near my window, couch and floor. This is not the maintenance guys fault, this is a bigger issue that management is ignoring. Previous manager Jenn had heart, she cared about her residents and respected us, in knowing this is our home and not just a business. Jenn and the maintenance personnel left, and are now working for a new property. We were never notified by upper management of a plan to cover the transition. Quite frankly if I owned this place I would want to know this information, "E" (upper management) should have taken a major role in making sure we were ok, and should be held to a standard of answering her emails so people don't feel ignored. I wonder if they would want to live with black flys in their living space? Or have emails go unanswered? The new property manager also does not answer her emails, and seems to have closed door policy. New staff are not welcoming, almost seem annoyed when you need something. This place felt like home before, now it is most definitely not somewhere I will be staying long term.

Not only are the apartments generous in size but the high quality of the cabinetry, the granite countertops, the appliances such as the gas stove, and other finishes make a difference--plus it's the first apartment we've had with a gas fireplace! Never mind the easy trash disposal and the secure garage parking. Not that we use our car every day as the building is located less than a mile from the Salem commuter rail. What really makes River Rock stand out to us is the management. Tom, the manager, makes sure the building is well maintained and any time there's an issue, he takes care of it immediately. Plus, we like the fact that we've had the same manager throughout our time here--Tom's really terrific. At other complexes where we've lived, the high staff turnover in the management office caused a lot of problems and confusion. Here, Tom is on-top of issues and has great follow-up skills. As two professionals with stressful jobs, River Rock has been a perfect fit for us!

I have been sent to voicemail just to walk over to the office and see admins joking around and talking instead. Roaches are common in the summer, and mold grows in the bathroom because there's no ventilation. Terrible property management overall, I only stay here for location.

Shane is an absolute Godsend…read more I came on my building's board of trustees to an absolute mess in 2018. We had a property management firm with a name that rhymes with "Parvest" that frankly did nothing but take condo fees - they didn't actually manage anything. We had bad relationships with our vendors, nothing ever got fixed, and everyone in the building was at best confused, at worst outright suspicious about the property management firm and the Board. I knew right away I'd found the right manager when I met Shane in late 2020. He's straight to the point, direct, and fast to respond (first time I called him was over Thanksgiving weekend - he called me back within 30 seconds). When he started in March 2021, he went to work right away. First thing he learned: our building was insolvent due to Parvest's poor management. In plain English, this means we would have been uninsurable and the banks issuing everyone's mortgages would have demanded repayment in full. NOT GOOD. But Shane saved our asses, creating a plan to raise the necessary money - and preparing for what could have been a difficult meeting, which he handled like a champ. He was able to calmly, plainly communicate why condo fees would have to increase. As a board member, I feel he presented this bad news in a mature, understandable way. Additionally, Shane forwent payment for months, until we had enough funds. The man went above and beyond. In my time on the board, I saw Shane handle everything from contractors with dishonest contracts to people with difficult personalities, all with unflappable grace. He can easily dissect condo docs and contracts and has an impeccable grasp on condo law - and can smell a bullshitter a mile away. Random fact: Shane worked on Wall Street before going into property management, and it shows. A year later, we're solvent, we have a reserve, we're paying our bills. We're amending our condo docs to modernize them (they hadn't been updated since 1986) and can start taking on projects and hiring better services. There's still a lot of work to be done, but things are going in the right direction. All in all, I have nothing but good to say about this business. Shane saved our association (and each of our investments) from ruin multiple times over. I'd recommend him to anyone, especially if you're sick of bad management companies that do nothing (doubly so if they rhyme with "Parvest"). 10/10, would hire Dynamic again!

I can't even relax in my bedroom because of the stereo then in the living room they have their tv turned up so loud! There is trash everywhere now, even in my building trash on the floors which can cause pests!

After moving out the management claimed that we had damaged multiple things. We requested photos…read moreand they showed four photos. One of a floor stain in the the bathroom that was there before the move-in. The other photos were of three items that we forgot and they claimed that the deposit of nearly $2000 was forfeited and added a fine of over $400 for 10 minutes of time to remove a 2 foot stepladder and two bags. They are threatening legal action and credit reporting to intimidate and outright steal money from people. I am an American but I know that there are many foreign born people living there that are probably being taken advantage of by this company. They claimed the carpet was dirty and needed replacing, but we vacuumed and cleaned it thoroughly and left it as good or better than when we arrived. In reality they are doing a remodel which includes replacing the carpet with hardwood floor and plan to pay for the work by stealing money from their customers. When we requested photos proving the carpet was dirty/damaged they declined because they didn't have the proof. Management never showed up at the appointed time to verify that the property was cleaned up to their standards thus voiding any claims that they may have.
