Awesome location, nice apartments

This is a great place and has great environment. The apartments are newly updated and are very well kept. The kitchen is also very well updated. It is very close to the super market and is also at a prime location. Very close to Boston University. I never have to complain about anything.

The Atrium

Beautiful, large rooms. Expensive. Two Bathrooms per apartment which is great. Tall ceilings, nice wood floors. Round the clock security. Access to convenient parking, gym, pool. Management company is hard to deal with - be persistent. Great place to live.

Great location but noisy

Pros - Great location with T station right outside, gym and Super Cuts right downstairs, 2 supermarkets next door, and several restaurants, bars, and cafes within walking distance. Management is good about receiving and delivering packages and handles all repair requests quickly. You can park as many cars as you want in the garage for $250 per spot.
Cons - Cannot have more than 10 guests per day (doorman checks), and the apartment is expensive. Garage spots are issued by license plate # and cannot be shared with overnight guests. Noisy from Comm Ave and T line right outside.

Allston is the greatest if you want to be near downtown but have a better community feeling. Great restaurant and bar scene here.
Reviewed by BU Questrom Grad Student living at 83 Gardner St. Apartments
Almost all of my neighborhood are all kinds of apartments. And lots of students in BU live here. So it's safe. Though sometimes students would hold some parties until 2 am, in general, it's suitable to live.
Reviewed by BU Questrom Grad Student living at One Everett
The building is located on the edge of streets with a lot of restaurants and activity, so there are lots of bars and places to eat within walking distance. You can also walk to the Charles in about 15 minutes. It's a quick commute to Kenmore or Brighton. One downside is that there is a lot of construction happening right now and not a lot of green space for our dog when we walk around the building.

I really like living in Allston! It's a little far from BUSPH but the neighborhood has so many fun restaurants and bars, plus it's close to the main BU campus which is nice for the FitRec and other amenities.
Reviewed by New England Law Student living at The Worcester
It is a pretty safe area, many BU students live around our street and in our building. We have never had a package stolen and I can't say I have noticed any suspicious activity going on around our street.
