City - Boston

Boston is the iconic capital and largest city of Massachusetts, known for its historical significance, top-notch culinary scene, and beautiful Bayfront views. Nestled on Massachusetts Bay, Boston is home to numerous universities including Harvard University, Boston College, Northeastern University, the University of Massachusetts-Boston, the Berklee College of Music, and the Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology. In fact, there are 54 colleges and universities in the Boston area, dating all the way back to 1636 when Harvard was established.

Boston played a crucial role in the American Revolution, being the site of major events like the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party. This city is filled with historic sites, landmarks, and architecture like the Boston Common, the first park in the country, dating back to 1624. Locals frequent Freedom Trail for its walking park that begins at the park and leads past several historic sites, including Paul Revere’s House and Faneuil Hall.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

This advertisement is misleading

The building lists a clubhouse and a fitness center that are not accessible to the residents. They are just employee perks for a staff that is neither managing nor maintaining the property well enough to be deserving of any perks.

Property Manager at Babcock Tower, Responded To This Review

We appreciate your feedback and understand the concerns. The fitness center and clubhouse are open to residents only during office hours as we continue to complete additional work on the doors to make these amenities accessible to residents after hours as well. We are committed to improving our community and will explore ways to enhance access to these amenities. Please feel free to reach out to our management team directly with any specific concerns or suggestions, as we are dedicated to ensuring a positive living environment for everyone.

Major rent increase

They just raised the rent by $370/month. There have been no services for several years, but, they keep increasing the rent. You cannot complain to management because their policies prohibit going to the management office or calling them on the telephone..

7/19/22
Manager

Manager doesn't reply to the email and it takes so long to get responses. The manager didn't reply also on my move-out date and I had to postpone the move-out date. The interesting thing is that I still didn't receive any emails about this situation.
