There is frequent late-night noise that management does nothing about. There was even a large fire in the trash area, and no one ever investigated the cause. When it snows, there is little to no effort to clear the roads within the property. Overall, management is unresponsive and neglectful. DO NOT RENT WITH THE HAMILTON COMPANY. They will take literally 15 days to respond to any message. What a garbage.

I loved the apartment from the basement to the balconies it was great. What I didn't appreciate was the experience with Edge. First incident: My roommate and I lived there for 2 years and we didn't have window screens so mosquitos and flies were flying into the apartment by the masses. We sent a request to have them added in the Summer. It never happened. My roommate and I logged into the portal we use with them and saw our request was canceled. We never requested that. Yet somehow months later in the WINTER, maintenance, who came to replace a door for us that had a hole in it, came to check the windows as well for screens... We said that would have to wait for the warm weather again because we had to insulate the windows which was recommended since the apartment had drafts from everywhere and had poor insulation. Yet they never came back. And according to "Section 410.551 - Screens for Windows The owner shall provide screens for all windows designed to be opened on the first four floors opening directly to the outside from any dwelling unit or room unit provided, that in an owner-occupied unit, the owner need provide screens for only those windows used for ventilation." We have been like that for two years... Second incident: I reached out through their portal and called their emergency number when a faulty smoke alarm was triggering all the alarms in my apartment. It was a wired alarm and didn't know what to do. When reaching out to the two emergency options (a phone number to call or a message in the portal to submit), no one replied until the next day. The faulty alarm kept going on for hours into the night and I didn't want to break it and be liable for something that isn't mine. My question is why have an emergency contact number and portal if they don't work? And judging from the other comment on this page it seems someone had a similar issue of no response. Last incident: When we were about to move from that place we had some realtors notifying us via text that they would be taking pictures of the apartment. The thing is they texted my roommate and another number that wasn't mine. I never got that notification and my roommate was traveling at the time. So while using the restroom, two women were walking around the apartment and knocked on my BATHROOM door. I was both shocked and embarrassed. After discussing it they realized the mistake and apologized although I must admit they didn't seem to care about it all that much. I was upset but mistakes happen so I brushed it off. But in the upcoming weeks my roommate texted me two more times on different days telling me that they had texted the wrong number again to show off the apartment. Do they not have the information correct in their system or are they that careless with it? She had to text them back stating they were texting the wrong number. When they finally got it right, I was exchanging messages with one realtor who asked if they could come in at 1130 AM one day. I agreed on the time, yet they walked into the apartment at 1105. I was upset because I was working from home and had important information out. So I brought up the time and she stated that she was correct. But after checking her texts she saw she made the mistake. I am giving it two stars just because the portal feature was great, but I've moved around Boston and this was my least favorite experience on management. Part of me feels it was because the apartment was located in an area filled with college students and brushed it off as just other kids coming and going. But hopefully, this may provide some insight into the areas that need work.

Our awesome real estate attorney Ellie Vining referred us to realtor Norman O'Grady at Prime Realty…read morewhen it came time for us to start looking for a condo. Norman was really wonderful to work with! He moves fast- you've gotta keep up! I mean that literally. The man is always buzzing about. He knows just what to look for when you're seeing a home. While you're there deciding if there's enough closet space, Norman's the one asking about the electrical wattage and pointing out little things you may have overlooked. He's great at what I called "kicking the tires." It's your decision, but he's there to help you and look out for you. Norman was there every step of the way and I always felt well-informed. He even made me feel ok about withdrawing an offer when it wasn't exactly the right move for us. I felt like I could call him anytime- he was always there to answer my questions and if not then, just a few minutes later. Yet at the same time, I never felt like I was not the focus of his attention when we were meeting. If you've never looked for a condo before, just know that you're looking at the same listings all the agents get, so it's on you to point out the ones you want to see and the agent will set it up for you. They're not going to comb through the listings for you and suggest what you should see. Norman was our buyer's agent- meaning that he was there to help us, the buyers, purchase a home (he gets paid through the bank, not you). He was there to walk us through the process, deal with the seller's agent and translate the homebuying language for us. He did all that- Norman is fantastic at his job. He's a straight shooter. You're in good hands if you choose Norman to help you buy your home! I'd recommend him to anyone who's looking!

After months of searching for an apartment in South Boston and dealing with sharky dishonest realtors, we were connected with Eric through his advertisement online. Eric was very prompt with his response and available to show us the apartment the very next day. While in the apartment, Eric was very knowledgeable about the area and honest about the market. With the competitiveness of South Boston, he advised us to offer a higher price which most people would feel questionable about. However, we trusted him and I'm glad we listened! I never once felt like Eric was only interested in making money, he was genuinely interested in helping us out (he even discounted his brokerage fee.) The landlord informed us there was upwards of 16 different applications on this particular apartment. Eric was able to negotiate on our behalf and get us this apartment over all other applications due to his hard work. If your looking for a great realtor to help you with your stressful search, contact Eric at Preview Properties. I will be looking to buy next spring and wont think twice about reaching back out to him!

Ever since we moved in, we have requested multiple things and even asked so many questions regarding the property over the past years, and yet he have always responded and helped us with kindness. Out of many realtors we have worked with, Dennis is certainly the most professional person we have ever met. I strongly recommend others to work with Dennis.

In my opinion I have found Dennis to be extremely UNPROFESSIONAL and RUDE. He was late for our showing, and unapologetic, did not offer much, if anything, more than my realtor already told us regarding information about the property. He did not answer phone calls but was quick to respond to emails. I would NEVER do business with him again, and would advise anyone against it. I had a few concerns about the rental contract, but it seemed he did not want to make a deal with us. I wasted several hours and precious time in my apartment hunt, very likely missing out on better units.

Michael stayed optimistic and driven throughout, especially during the slower stretches when we weren't getting the feedback we needed to make adjustments and keep things moving. He was consistently responsive, always getting back to our texts and emails right away, and he went above and beyond by coordinating directly with our agent on the home we were purchasing in Austin, TX, to help keep both transactions in sync. Even after the sale closed, Michael continued to provide real value. When I accidentally left a few items behind, he took it upon himself to mail them to my new address at no charge. I would highly recommend Michael Tinsley from Longwood Residential to anyone looking for a realtor who is responsive, optimistic under pressure, and genuinely invested in taking care of his clients from start to finish.
