There are a lot of pros to living here, except for the fact that it is owned by a large corporation…read morethat clearly hasn't updated anything since it was built. The apartment tour is an apartment not lived in by residents. All of our bathrooms, sinks and mirrors are covered in mold. The free amenities include wifi and laundry, wifi has now gone out multiple times for days and we submitted multiple complaints about our dryer after having to run it at least 3x for every load, using electricity we pay for seperately. If you plan on moving out before your roommates, you will still be charged for water and sewage that you are not using. I didn't have high standards but considering the price of college housing is more than the average Boston apartment, they need to either lower the price or maybe make some updates. Nothing to do with the staff!

Parents and students beware!! While The Cottages of Durham is a nice place to live, if you have a…read moreunit that ends up vacant, the Leasing Company (American Campus Communities - where according to their own website "Students love living") is free to assign ANYONE to that unit to guarantee that they are not missing out on revenue. For example, they can assign a much older man to a house with 4 female students ages 20-22! They were sent an email at 5pm stating he would be moving in the next day! Never in a million years did I think a non-student, older man working as a government contractor could be assigned to my daughter's house. Wanted to make others aware of this loophole in the contract so that you go in with eyes wide open. While he ultimately did not end up moving in, it was no thanks to The Cottages/American Campus Leasing Managers.

We had an issue with the plumbing in our unit on madbury road for over 6 months and the landlord…read morerefused to even send a plumber to have it looked at. Concurrently, we had mice living in our kitchen for over a month and again, the landlord would not send an exterminator, or even pay for the mouse traps that we were forced to buy to make the apartment livable. I also had to deal with disposing of over ten dead mice because of the complete disregard on the part of Bryant property management for their renters. This is easily the worst renting experience I've ever had in my life and cannot recommend strongly enough that people avoid this companies properties at all costs.

Honestly not a good property to live at. It was one of the only places left that had half year…read moreleases however we've had constant issues since moving in in august. There was an issue with the water at one point where we had no water coming out of the faucet for hours. The parking lot gets filled up every night making residents parallel park along the entrance way to the apartments and in the grass ditches which is unbelievably unsafe. There is constantly an issue with the wifi going out, just in the last three days it's been out more than 2 times. This is definitely a pretty big issue considering many people are working remote from their apartment and are now unable to do so because the wifi continues to go out. This is also an issue with school work, everything is turned in online, kinda need wifi for that. Wouldn't recommend this complex to anyone, with the amount and severity of the issues had here, just don't think it's worth it.

They do not make the contract clear at all and force you to sign contracts incredibly early putting you under the impression that they will 'sell out'. This never happens. When we moved in, everything was broken. It is now a month in and our fridge is still leaking despite being replaced and making consistent maintenance requests.
