Sunny apartment, great view, great management

The management and service have been wonderful, fast, and helpful, but we often have problems- either with pests, neighbors, or with noise. While the price of rent is okay for Boston, it rises every year and will soon be too high for me to renew.

It is a little overpriced

Location is great for school and public transportation, but overall a very expensive place to live in. The area is not that clean either. Also, sometimes it gets noisy during weekend nights. If you like quuiet places to live in, this may not be the best choice.

Way too Expensive

You can find much better place at same value other than this. The Olympic size swimming pool adds to the place's glamour as well. Luckily, there are no nearby neighbors so we haven't had any issues with noise complaints. Unfortunately, the mansion is not metro-accessible so it's a little hard to get around.

Nice place for a student

Nice place near university which is affordable and is at reachable form T stations, bus stops, grocery store and banks.
Affordable, with excellent security.
I love the modern amenities. The best part is that it has a balcony! the view is spectacular. We can see the city view where Prudential can be seen and is just breathtaking in the night.

Good!

I live in CityView apartments. The apartments are very spacious and well lit. The rent is very high and difficult to afford as students. Parking is expensive. Amenities such as elevator, swimming pool and gym need improvement. Staff is very friendly.

Fenway/Kenmore Reviews

Reviewed by Boston Resident living at 503 Park Dr
Location is great, living room is fairly large in the 4-bedroom/2-bathroom unit and rent is relatively cheap, but the poor condition of the building explains why. Management did not clean the apartment before we moved in, windows are old, blinds and ceiling fans have layers of thick dust, bedrooms are poorly insulated, and a bat emerged from a hole in my bedroom closet ceiling. Fine for anyone who doesn't desire spotless living conditions. Within a block or two of Whole Foods, Dunkin Donuts, multiple green line stations, and laundromat with drop off laundry service and dry cleaning options. Movie theater, Target, Star Market, and Chipotle not much farther away.

The Fenway area is a great place to live. You've got the green line (I know) right there that will take you pretty much anywhere. Lots of bars and restaurants and a grocery store as well. It's a good place for undergrads and I found it very enjoyable living there.

great neighborhood, walking distance to so much and so much access to green/orange lines. Fenway,kenmore, south end, back bay, beacon hill at your fingertips
Reviewed by Boston Resident living at 25 Queensberry St.
West Fens is, in my opinion, the best place to live in Boston. Pros: short commute downtown, plenty of transit options, lots to do (bars, restaurants, etc)., near plenty of stores (grocery store, TARGET!, Marshall's, etc.), quiet streets, and right next to the Fens for when you want your nature fix. I don't have any cons, personally. It's my ideal location.
Reviewed by Boston Resident living at 1191 Boylston St
Extremely close to Berklee & Boston Conservatory. Lots of restaurants, walkable to grocery & pharmacy. Can be loud, & can be scary to walk alone at night due to dark park & history of assaults, as well as nightclub traffic from Machine.
