1047 Commonwealth

I lived here for 2 months (a year ago) and here are my 2 cents: 1. Like other reviewers mentioned, it’s expensive, but not much different from what you’d find in Boston. 2. My main concern was safety. The area is really good, and the entrance requires key access, so random people can’t just walk in. Parcels (mail, not food) are kept in dedicated lockers that can only be accessed with your key. 3. There’s a huge lobby with a coffee machine (works fine one week and doesn’t the next), board games, and a study area (which I used a lot—it’s really nice!). There’s also a well-maintained gym on the ground floor with all the necessary equipment. 4. It’s right next to Star Market, so groceries are super convenient. There’s also a train station nearby. And Dollar store is right next to the building

The experience living at 1047 Commonwealth has been nothing short of a nightmare. From broken AC units that were never properly fixed. Caused extremely hot room temperature during the summer and freezing cold during the winter. And packages getting stolen from the mailroom, this place has been a constant headache. The garage has ongoing water leakage problems, and despite repeated complaints, nothing was done to address it. On top of that, the management is absolutely terrible. Communication is nonexistent, and when it comes time to move out, they conveniently find ways to keep your deposit money without any clear justification. It’s clear that management doesn’t care about the tenants or the condition of the property. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone there are far better option

Terrible Building Management, they are rude and out to make money, not to accommodate your needs. Super slow Wifi that was not addressed for years the whole building had really spotty wifi that wasn't good for anything over browsing the web, multiple complaints that were ignored for years until it started cutting into their profits. HVAC down multiple times in the summers there were a few days where the AC broke in the summer and it was unlivable in the room. Terrible parking situation Parking spots cost a car payment and they are so narrow you can barely open the door to get in or out. hope you don't get assigned the middle spot because they are a few inches narrower on each side for the same cost. Because they made 3 parking spots when there is only room for 2, management has deemed that

Been living here since July, 2022 and there have been at least 4 different managers and 2 maintenance teams that have came and left. The issues stated in the other 1 star reviews are absolutely correct and I will add a couple more issues we have experienced here: At one point the elevator smelled like the sewer for a whole week with no proper explanation as to what caused the smell, only an email stating they were working on the issue. After the issue was somewhat fixed (smell was still there) several black steel drums labeled as "Hazardous Waste" with a written description "septic (oil & water) PPE debris" appeared in a space of the parking garage and stayed there for another 2 months 🤢 The current issue now is the trash room (instead of completely replacing the handle to the trash shoot

This is the WORST apartment I’ve ever lived in. 1. The soundproofing is terrible. I can hear the upstairs neighbor walking really loudly, my neighbors’ music, and even the sound of curtains being yanked. 2. Poor sanitation. There was a dead rat in the trash room, and the elevators smell awful, like sewage. They’re often broken, too. 3. Terrible management. A girl from the leasing office kept knocking on my door at 2pm just to hand me a renewal postcard—no respect at all. That’s crazy. Packages are always lost or misplaced under other apartments. 4. Safety concerns. I’ve seen homeless people hanging out in the lobby and looking for food. Btw, they offer gift card raffles to residents who leave good reviews on Google, so don’t trust the ratings on Google Maps.
