    • Worst Apartment

      December 31, 2024
      Please start away form this apartment. I lived in 507 main street. It was so bad physically, mentally and spiritual.

    • Not Worth the Money

      March 4, 2024
      Bancroft on the Grid location: Lobby smells, elevators smell, there’s basically always one out of order elevator once a week and NONE of the elevator inspections are up to date. I swear only 3 of the dryers actually dry the clothes but you still have to pay extra for it to work. All the washers REEK of mildew and mold and are covered in residue. They were never fixed or cleaned during the year I lived there. I paid roughly $15-20 a week for two people’s clothes… if you tour the place ACTUALLY ...
      look at the laundry room and how disgusting the washers are. In the summer there’s a permanent smell of dog poop everywhere because they have a very tiny spot of sand for dog owners to take their dogs, but no one every picks it up. Yes the owners should pick up after their dogs, but it gets so bad and they almost never do anything about it, even though there are apartment windows directly above it. I saw a worker cleaning it ONE time in the year i’ve been here. Nice location, but I would never recommend it to anyone, and if I could go back in time I would have gone for a place that was cheaper, had more space and wasn’t a mega-landlord/property management company even if it meant being farther from downtown.

    • Thoroughly enjoyed living at the Grid District

      July 25, 2022
      I lived on the 10th Floor, overlooking the city and polar park. I absolutely loved living here and wish I could have bought my apartment. Purchasing a home was the only reason I left. Any issues I had were swiftly addressed and resolved. And the location was primo! Walked everywhere. Tons of bars, restaurants, DCU center, Polar Park, train station and other things to do all within a 5 or 10min walk

    • Poor service, staff and constant smell/noise problems

      March 4, 2022
      The elevators break on their Main st building, 3 elevators lucky if 1 is working, staff may be the rudest I have ever met or worked with! Especially maintainer staff, customer service starts with employees.

    • hot garbage.

      December 10, 2021
      The pipes in my my ceiling make rattling and banging noises louder than a passing fire truck seemingly any time someone in another apartment turns their water on. Over a week and not a single bit of on movement on my maintenance request. I haven't gotten a full night's sleep since I moved in because of the noise. Trying to sit on my couch in the evenings is unbearable with the sound of a herd of elephants stomping around in my ceiling because of the pipes. 2/3 elevators don't work and the one ...
      remaining elevator only barely works. When I asked about parking before signing my lease, I was informed of the steep price and only after signing my lease was told there was no availability and had to approach a 3rd party garage myself. The counter top burners in my kitchen can't even bring a pot of water to boil.

    • Worst management in MA

      July 7, 2021
      Constanly broken doors leave a lot of security concerns, elevators are normally 2/3 are broken. The management will blame everything you dont like about the way they do business on you. If you like being disrespected living in a place of disrepair and over charges then you might actually enjoy it here. But seriously do not even waste your time viewing or appling the owners do not care about you or your family. Theyll gladly take more money though.

    • UNLESS YOU WANT ENDLESS ISSUES

      June 28, 2021
      DONT LIVE HERE UNLESS YOU LOVE SMELLING LIKE SMOKE, NOT BEING ABLE TO SHOWER AND HAVING A BROKEN FRIDGE. I’ve never written a review on anything in my life. The apartment is decent. It looks new, there’s a front desk and a nice lobby and a gym. All great. WHAT IS TERRIBLE I moved in three months ago, since then my fridge broke (right after I went grocery shopping and lost all my food) it took them a week A WEEK to even acknowledge I put in a maintenance request. And was only acknowledged after ...
      calling MULTIPLE TIMES . Around the same time (a month or so after move in) MY WATER TEMP was unbearable. The water temp became so extreme I can’t even stand under the water. This problem is still not resolved after an entire month and three maintanence request and multiple phone calls. As the weather got warmer my neighbors smoke has seeped into my unit. The smell is so overbearing it makes me gag. My clothes and linens reek. There is no smoking/ non smoking units it’s all random. When reaching out about the smell I was told to “put electric tape over any ventilation”. Essentially if you don’t like second hand smoke and smelling like it when you haven’t smoked a day in your life. Don’t live here. Don’t live here if you need appliances that work. And don’t live here if you work a dirty job and want to take a decent shower.

    • Love my apartment!

      September 26, 2019
      I've lived here for a little over 6 months and have nothing but good vibes! The restaurants on the Grid offer 20% off for residents. The Beer Garden has amazing bands during the weekend and the Brew has the best caramel brewchinnos. My apartment overlooks Worcester commons, so I have an amazing view, staff in office are very helpful, utilities are not to expensive. Overall, I've enjoyed living here!

    • Smells like crap -no literally

      February 18, 2019
      If you like the smell of crap this is the place for you. Dog go to the bathroom in the building. Nothing is ever clean. For the love of God don’t ever have a maintenance problem because they will send someone but never actually come out and probably Fix it. My toilet has been broken for months and I have to go to the lobby to use the restroom. Completely poorly run building. Don’t be fooled by the discounts they give and the pretty lobby things never actually probably work.

    • Don't Be Fooled - Subpar

      July 30, 2018
      Don't be fooled by the "upgrades". The main building at 50 Franklin has no air conditioning in the lobby or gym. The so called secure buildings constantly have the doors propped or the doors unlocked. They also rent to airbnb so you can never tell who belongs in your building. What's the point of them doing a background check when you apply to live here? The roofs leak during heavy rain - they patch the hallway walls, but never fix the problem. I think it's great that they allow cats & dogs, ...
      but people do not pickup after their dogs so there is a heavy odor outside in the summer months. Leasing office has had massive turnover - none of the staff is the same from a year ago. Parking costs are sky-high - the garage is dirty, the doors are finicky (i got stuck inside once). Fire alarms go off very frequently. There are interior doors that go into one of the apartment buildings - anyone can get in once you are in the garage. Overall it's not worth the money - I won't be renewing my lease later this fall.
