Natick Village Condominium

— low crime, not seen any security issue since 2012
— low rent 1000−1200/1b1b
— has gym and pool
Cons–
— no washer and drier in apt

i agree with two other reviewers! that apartment living was the worst experience i have ever experienced. i have lived in 8 different apartments in few different states and nothing compares to this apartment living experience. so dont move there! ull thank us! i feel sorry for those who moved in. There are a lot of whiners calling the office to complain about the noises or the ppl walking around. It’s called APARTMENT! you share the units with other people, get over it! we get a few complaints and we werent even home bec they prob think it was us or another unit. the pool costs a guest 3 dollars each time they go in. where i live now, it doesnt cost us a dime to have guests to swim. and the fitness center is not even that great anyway. the tennis court is pretty much run down. i dont even want to start on the dumpster, charges you a 50 bucks to get a garage card and you have to drag a trash bagin the car to just to throw it in one big dumpster, esp in the winter. the laundry was pretty bad, people were so rude and inconsiderate, esp taking your clothes out of washers when you were gone for only 24 minutes. the office doesnt accept the rent checks so i had to mail the rent check a few days ahead of time a month. the apartment is more like a prison, gotta be quiet all the time and stay out of people’s ways. there are way too many list to complain but you get the idea. i moved out even before the lease was over, it was worth it. just dont move there :)

I’ve decided just to list out the reasons why my future wife and I left last June:
Warrants served at 4pm
Court notices from sheriff offices taped to the outside door weekly
10pm move ins
6am move outs
A ruined Saturday because the office decided all doors had to be painted on that day.
Uncontrolled dogs; barking, lunging, pooping not cleaned up.
Can hear the dog walking and running around in the apartment above us.
Parking lot problems; parking over the lines intentionally
Vibrating cell phones can be heard through the floor
Joke of a ‘security guard’ Can’t even help you in your car, or jump your car battery.
Plant’s aren’t pruned, and often extend over staircases
The smell
People spilling stuff on our door
Dumpster divers
Our door did not close tightly
The Gym has ‘mother hours’ only open 9am to 4:30pm 6 days a week.
Our 100 pound Asian neighbor sounds like a 2000 pound cow walking around upstairs and on the stairways.
Attempted break in
When we got Fios put in, the cable from the roof that Fios put in 7 month ago in all the apartment buildings was broken.
Train horns, all hours of the night, 5pm 9.15pm 11pm 1.15am 2.45am 3.15am 3.30am 4.15am 4.50am
Can hear the neighbors having sex, and not loud sex, quiet reserved sex. (Truthfully this one didn’t bother us, we thought it was funny, because we are far louder than normal couples so we know they heard us. I just thought that if you the person looking for a review might want this info.)
The Laundry room: machines breaking down, 10 washers never more than 9 working, as few as 4 at one point; 10 dryers, rarely 10 working, but not all your clothes get dry in some. Other tenants have no respect for others and leave clothes in both washes and dryers for hours on end.
Office showing our apartment without us in the apartment at the time.
Office has no customer service what so ever. Often things reported never get followed up on, such as broken toilet, and stove.
Also the office lady was very rude claiming that we didn’t clean the carpet when we left (we rug doctored it, and after living in an apartment for 4 years it’s never going to be ‘like new’)
