Mediterranean Woods Apartments

I live here and I’m moving this place is a dump. It smells like you just walked into India with the stink of curry that I can smell in my whole house especially my bathroom. Beyond embarrassing and disgusting. Falcon is trying to sell this dump but no one wants it. The picture online are false the tennis court has more cracks and roots growing out of it. It looks like a place you play dice and pick up a crack rock. Literally seen so many drug transactions happening on the property. The pool is beyond disgusting as a film of something not sure what exactly it is. The inside is cheap and tacky. My family when I told them I moved here asked why I moved to section 8 building. It does look like that. I’m completely embarrassed of where I live. Property manager Jill is a joke does nothing all day the person who is supposed to clean our laundry room I caught napping on picnic table not sure if he was napping or high. If you are smart don’t move in. It’s filled with old people who belong in a nursing home. Indians who no offense stink. I’m in my 20s and I am moving in two weeks.

Been living here since 2 years, I find this place very clean, beautiful, peaceful and affordable, highly recommend it.

They serve an excellent grape Four Loko here. Well worth the visit.

Am I the first? It doesn’t surprise me, this isn’t exactly the type of apartment complex filled with hipsters who use « Unilocal» as a verb.
That being said… Mediterranean Woods is okay. It’s neither good nor bad. I imagine it’s quite like Purgatory (if you’ve had many years of Catholic education, you’ll know what I’m talking about). After living in the city for several years, my boyfriend and I realized two things: 1) we both worked on the South Shore and 2) we were spending money like a drunken 15 year old girl with her first paycheck from Claire’s. So we decided we needed a cheaper place to live, and began looking at apartments in the Quincy/​Weymouth area.
As anyone familiar with renting in Greater Boston, looking for an apartment can be an experience that can best be described as somewhere in between a heart attack and water torture. Apartments here are expensive, and usually not very nice. There’s usually no middle ground: you either live in a tenement slum and pray the heat doesn’t break in the middle of a blizzard, or you have granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, but realize that you can’t afford food.
Mediterranean Woods is a place, like Purgatory, that’s exactly in the middle.
PROS:
*Clean, well-​maintained grounds
*Spacious apartments
*Heat & hot water included (ooooo, ain’t this nice!)
*Plenty of free parking
CONS:
*It’s teetering on the line between excellent tenants and nightmare tenants. In the next few years, I could really see it going either way.
*There’s nothing walking distance from here. Legit. NOTHING.
Bottom line: if you’re perfectly comfortable in the suburbs, this is a «let’s live here for a few years, save money, buy a Cape, have 2.5 children, and coach soccer on the weekends» kinda place, and you’ll be perfectly happy here. If you’re a city person: suck it up and pay the extra money to live in town.
