The Hamilton Company

Great apartment and quick maintenance. Price is too high

Dexter Park is a great place to live! The front desk staff is great and the management keeps in contact with its residents; gives plenty of heads up time if they will be doing work/water shut-offs/laundry room repair/etc...Parking is available for an additional fee ($200-$250), they allow pets and it's a 5 min walk from the CTC / Greenline on Commonwealth. Some of the undergrad students can get pretty loud on the weekends but overall a great place to live and you get more room for your money!

After coming from a okayish management, we moved into Gardner Street Apts and we love it here!
The house was open and airy, had a lot of sunlight coming in and the management company is highly appreciable. They come for follow ups and to just check if we are doing okay, which is great!

Great for living

Great place to live

Close to supermarkets, about 10minutes away from BU shuttle stop (agannis.)

The maintenance people always show up quickly, but they don’t do the best job. We had a rat in our apartment for weeks and maintenance was not that helpful.

Dexter Park

Walkable to BU. The management is not so good. Maintenance is slow.

Near the law school 15min by walking
Quiet
Lots of bu students live here

near star, 88 supermarket, green line, 57 bus stop
big living room, if not used that would be a waste

It is close to school, the management is not great, they will raise your rent through the roof and the apartment's themselves are very small.

Trees block my sunlight on 3rd floor. Heat is far from warm enough. Mice spotted occasionally

I live in a "garden level" apartment (basement with slightly bigger windows). It's actually been great, keeps warm during the winter and relatively cool during the summer. Only thing is, if you value your privacy you need to keep the blinds closed at all times. Size is just right too, pretty small overall but very open so it doesn't feel as small. Also can't really beat the location for a student, it's reasonable walking distance to school and gym, right by the Packard's Corner T stop, and close to Brighton Ave and Harvard Ave bars and restaurants. Also about a block from the Star Market. Management is relatively good, you don't really hear from them unless you need something and they keep the building in pretty good order. The only real complaint I might have is that there is not great sound insolation from my upstairs neighbors, who I think have little kids that can be heard running all around sometimes.

I would say one of the biggest upsides of living at this building is the location. It is just two blocks away from the grocery store, also near an asian supermarket with a food court. There are also multiple transportation options to BU, which you will be thankful for when you get frustrated with the T. It's a block from the B line T stop, which goes directly to BU. Across the street is the 57 bus stop, which also goes directly to BU. If you get desperate, BU is also within a reasonable walking distance, and the BU shuttle will take you at least halfway from campus to FitRec - being close to the gym is great too. A couple blocks down Harvard Ave are a number of bars and restaurants that a lot of students hang out at too. The building itself is decently well kept. There is laundry in the building, and it's pretty quiet overall. The building is old though, so the halls a bit musty, and overall I'd say the apt interiors just don't look as "nice" as say some apts in brookline. Because the building is owned by corp mgmt, there are some problems with setting up UPS delivery rescheduling/authorization, but maybe that's a minor thing.
