Best Gated Community Cambridge Near Me

Cathy Guertin: Akelius is not resident friendly.As you can see from the photos it is never dark at night so we never see the stars. Never know it is night as the lights shine in our windows.And given the rectangular configuration there is never any sunlight shining in my windows. Andrew would never live at 16 or 17 or 18 Forest court.

A White: This review comes after living in one of the *newly renovated* units at 18 Forest Court.  The new kitchen appliances are nice, the wood floors are charming.  This is where the good part ends.  Living in this building was one of the most frustrating experiences I've ever endured.Upon moving in, the one shower knob did not turn to hot water.  I showered at the gym for the first weekend of my lease.  The internet cable was buried behind the wall and required 3 visits from Comcast, only for them to tell me - 3 times - that there was nothing they could do, the building messed up.  For weeks, the way I obtained internet in this unit was to have Comcast run a cable through my 1-floor OPEN window.  This rigging stayed in place until Akelius finally admitted that they had to dig through their own wall to find the cable.  The people living 1 floor above me had exactly the same problem when they moved in.The locks on the front door broke and had to be replaced.  The shower was never refinished with a slope so after every shower, you're required to drain a half inch of water from the shower by hand, otherwise mold grows.  The bathroom door doesn't fully shut.  On a first floor unit, 1 window was installed with locks.  The other 7 had no locking mechanisms installed.  The laundry facilities in the basement are creepy beyond belief. Most people in the building use the laundromat around the corner.Over the summer of 2018, Akelius shut down the water 9 times in 1.5 weeks, advising tenants to stock up on bottled water.  The ongoing renovations were filthy and loud.The worst part of this unit, by far, was the heating - or lack thereof.  The unit heated by an old, decrepit radiator system.  There are 3 of them in the unit and not one of them ever worked properly.  They are so loud that a tenant is essentially left with 1 of 2 choices - sleep through the night with the heat off or lie awake with the radiators banging loudly all night.Myself and other tenants have purchased white noise machines, and space heaters just to get through the winter.  If I had stayed just 1 month longer, I would have filed a case with the Board of Health for violation of the Right to Quiet Act and the right to working heat.I had moved to this building with the intent on staying for a few years as it's within walking distance to work.  But just 1 month in to my lease and I knew I'd leave.  The building management is oblivious, ineffective and incredulous.There are virtually no online reviews for this building. The parent company, Akelius, has MANY online reviews and sites dedicated to documenting grievances against the company. Having spent 12 months in one of their units, I would never find myself inside an Akelius building ever again.
