1163-1191 Boylston Apartments

Great location. The rent is reasonable compared to other places. My biggest complaint is the noise. I lived in a unit that's facing the Lansdowne St. and the bars on that street could be very loud, especially Loretta's Last Call which hosts live music performance well past 11pm. And if it's game night at Fenway, forget about sleeping before 1am. In addition, due to the old age of the building, the floor creaks and cracks very loudly. Also my then neighbor had elephant feet, I often was woken up by their thumping around just as I was drifting into sleep. It's a nightmare. If you are not a deep sleeper like me, rent at your own peril. Oh, another thing. The package theft is rampant. But I guess that's just living in the cities.

Location is great, and has several great parking spots (with parking permit) because they have a side road that's separated from the main road. But the building is ancient. They do have an elevator which require the doors to be manually pulled and pushed sideways. Also found the rooms dark in general. There is a park right across, which is nice.

Unjustifiable rent for a decaying building with a hazardous elevator from the 1920's. Avoid the slumlord Fineberg management corporation at all costs.

Target, star market and many more places are accessible from here. Apartments are also good.

Do yourself a favor and avoid any properties owned by Fineberg Management.
