I love the place because its design and location. Management needs to pay attention to proper preventive maintenance of the facility. They are always reacting to repeating problems. There's not a recycle policy in place and no containers available to residents. There's only 2 dumpsters for the whole community where all type of organic and inorganic trash is dumped: plastic, glass, furniture, diapers, electric items, etc... literally everything. As expected, visitors like raccoons and squirrels are all over the place including our porch, roofing and probably inside walls because scratching noises can sometimes be heard.

Marijuana smokers welcome!

If you enjoy smelling pot smoke at all hours of the day and night, this is the place for you. It doesn't matter that the buildings are supposed to be no smoking! And don't worry about complaining to management because they won't do anything.

I have lived... (Verified Renter)

I have lived here for 7 years and have recommended it several times.

6/20/19
I would not recommend Appleton Square

In May 2019, we were told our deck was unsafe to be on an a padlock was installed preventing us from using this. Two months later we have no information on when the deck will be fixed. We repeatedly spoke to the office and were told every time that there would be more information next week and when the next we came we were told that they do not know. We were told that they have known this deck needed repairs since 2013, 6 years prior! When we expressed concern that the number of exits we had were reduced in case of a fire, we were told that the windows in our 3rd floor apartment counted as fire exits although there were no fire escapes. They also suggested we get a ladder to throw out the window in case of a fire. Appleton Square management did not address our safety concerns and is going to raise our next years rent despite us having less amenities than when we moved in. I would not recommend renting here.

I would recommend this location because it is a comfortable and quiet living space that anyone could call home.

The apartment is great. Just a few issues with people not picking up dog poop, leaving trash in hallway and smoking weed in my building.

I would recommend Appleton Square, but I would be honest with my own personal experiences living here for so long. Overall, it has been a positive experience.

I have been... (Verified Renter)

I have been here for ten years and regrets that the new tenants have no ownership in the property, throwing litter and cutting through grass, not using walkways.

This is a place you can call home. The minute you walk in the apartment community you can feel the time and dedication they took to take care of the community. There's space for every and every prices.

The parking situation... (Verified Renter)

The parking situation is not good for tenants, especially when I have to work late. Many times I have a hard time finding space, as there are cars parked here that DO NOT have resident stickers. There should be assigned spaces for tenants near their apartments. This is especially true on weekends when tenants have guests that park in resident spaces. It should be posted at the entrance that parking here is for residents only, and illegally parked cars will be towed. There were two occasions this past winter I had to park across the street in the guests lot as there were no spaces near my apartment. The parking situation should be addressed.

I would. Based on the absorbent rents in the area, Appleton Square is in line with current rates, although the area as a whole is getting priced out. People working closer to Boston will be able to find attractive rates to be closer to work. If rents continue to increase, some folks may be willing to pay a bit more and be closer to work, even if its a matter of 5 or 10 miles.

7/9/18
I would recommend... (Verified Renter)

I would recommend because it is quiet and clean. The landscaping always looks great, and the staff is very attentive, polite and helpful. I would not recommend for long term living due to the high increase of rent every year.
