Bell Olmsted Park

Love the area. Beautiful places to walk. Very convenient to shopping and downtown Boston. Great complex, safe and family friendly. Any amenities.

Excellent place to live in. Friendly concierge. Prompt maintainence service, and welcoming leasing staff. Overall an A experience. Happy to call it home.

It’s a good apartment the build quality and appliances could have been better. The location and view from my apartment was really good. I would recommend this apartment to anyone working in the medical area.

When I came and see this building for the first time I was impressed it’s beautiful Nice and quiet everybody is nice the listening stuff are very professional I’m happy to be here

Unfortunately the loud footsteps from the apartment above mine is annoying and happens late in the evening. Very inconsiderate it sounds like heavy walking so loud stomping steps all over the apartment

I'm new here but already loving the place. From the team (leasing, concierge and maintenance) to the amenities and location - love. Huge dog park, spacious parking garage, numerous elevators (and they're so fast)! Love to live at the emerald necklace.

Love love love where we live. Very central to the city and so convenient to public transportation if needed. Quiet pleasant environment. Very friendly staff

I am very happy to have been giving the opportunity to apply to live here. It's rare to find a wonderful living in Jamaica plain near alot of places and at such affordable living cost. The apartment is great and I have no regrets.

location and amenities are great. package handling is easy. only negative is the apartment temperature in the in fall and spring. it’s unbearably hot and management pretty much ignores everyone’s complaints.

Used to be much better. Current management team is looking for privileges instead of working for the community. EV spots are occupied daily by the leasing office employess EVEN WHEN THEY ARE NOT CHARGING - despite the signs against this practice there. Also they had the audacity to place a "office managing" sign in one of the 4 EV spots... ridiculous. Shame on them. Btw the excuse is even worst, so don't even try! They do not need the whole parking spot to open a door to maybe deal with electrical issues IF that happens. So, less privileges and more community thoughts. The gym sucks. Time to improve it. I've been her for 4 years total and it has been the same. Treadmill are frequently malfunctioning. They don't care at all... even the stupid community events they are only informing on the day of the event, corroborating how much they care and want it to happen. Shame!

Very nice complex in a great neighborhood. Secured underground parking. Access to local shopping and the pond is great for taking walks around.

I've been living here for a while now, and I can confidently say that this apartment complex is fantastic. The apartments themselves are well-maintained and comfortable, with a great layout and modern features. What really sets this place apart, though, is the staff. They are consistently helpful, friendly, and responsive to any requests or issues that come up. Whether it's a maintenance request or just a question about the property, they handle everything with professionalism and a genuine willingness to assist. Overall, living here has been a very positive experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to call home.

I have recently moved in here and so far it’s been good. It is located at a decent location with easy accessibility to the public transport. The amenities are good. There is a gym with necessary equipment and there is pool. Overall it’s been good.

Clean, friendly professional, homely, very nice place, love it. Feel safe and secure. The amenities are spacious and full of light. They are well maintained. Everyone I have interacted with is friendly and kind. It’s very clean and useful to have Zipcar right here and complimentary guest parking. So friends can visit without worrying about getting a ticket!

I have really loved my time here. Quiet community in a convenient part of town. Building is updated. When there are maintenance issues the staff is very quick to respond and resolves things usually same day, if not within 24 hours. Pool and gym are very convenient. Conciergerie and office staff are always friendly.

Overall a great experience been here a few months and enjoying the building and neighborhood. The dog run is really great and having the park near by is awesome

Great amenities, fast and easy maintenance, near transit, good staff. Includes, BBQ, pool, community room, coffee machine, gym. Also has monthly events for tenants.

Renewed our lease! Can not think of another place we'd want to live. Love it! The area is accessible to so much. Very safe and very clean. Quiet neighborhood.

My husband and I have been living here for almost 3 years now and we love it. We are very grateful for the staff working at the building, who have always been very kind to us. The location of the building is amazing, as one of the subway stations is a five minute walk from the building and the bus station is literally in front of it. The building is also a nice 10-15 min walk from the Jamaica Pond, which is amazing for running or light walking. The noise level coming from outside of our apartment is almost non-existent. But I must say that the thing we have been most grateful for is the maintenance staff. They always help us right away when something is not working and, with the changing weather of these last few months, they have been working really hard to sort out everything that has come up with the heaters and water lines. That sense of peace that comes when you know that a problem is being taken care of is priceless.

Living at Bell Olmsted Park has been an exceptional experience so far. The staff here is incredibly helpful and accommodating, always going above and beyond to ensure residents' needs are met. Their automated communication system is top-notch, providing timely updates and making it easy to stay informed about community events and maintenance schedules. Additionally, the location of Bell Olmsted Park is ideal. Situated in a convenient location, it's close to various amenities such as shops, restaurants, and public transportation, making it easy to explore the surrounding area. Overall, I'm thoroughly enjoying my time at Bell Olmsted Park. With its great staff, excellent communication system, impressive fitness area, and convenient location, it truly feels like home.

Beautiful environment, very clean and accessible, staff very welcoming and friendly. Parking area is spacious and easy access. Lobby is super clean and organized. Managers are very attentive and cordial. We had a great experience so far.

We’ve been pleased while living at Bell. The backyard for our dog has been one of the greatest benefits of living here. Our maintenance requests have been met in a reasonable amount of time.

This is a lovely neighborhood. I enjoy my experience here - nice view, friendly neighbors, and reasonable price. Would love to recommend Bell to my friends.

Great apartment! The concierge is super nice. I like little events we have in the lobby. The leasing office is very kind. I like facilities we have here. Overall the best apartment I lived in so far

Great staff and location with good access to transit, excellent amenities; coffee machine, gym and pool/bbq. Very nice place to live with nice community events.

Lovely apartment with great amenities! The staff is fantastic. It is a short walk to Longwood medical area and major hospitals. Next to Emerald necklace, which is beautiful.

Nice quite new apartment. Well maintained. Large windows. Free coffee. A bit noisy than I expected but it’s ok. Concierge manage all the package things making them safe.

Apartment is getting better with new management in place. Quick response time for maintenance. Common areas are cleaner. Less unattended children running around during quiet hours. The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 is due to the decline in community events. Usually we would have an end of summer bash event and a doggie pool day event. Hopefully as the new management gets settled in their new role they will be able to bring back the community events.

Wonderful,clean, safe property. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Very quiet. Close to wonderful places to walk and enjoy the outdoors.

Noisy, overpriced, dirty, and inconsiderate neighbors. Overall, not a great experience. Cannot recommend. Complaining to the leasing office does not change anything.

Good concierge sevice, facilities, and excellent maintance team. However, leasing assistant never reply my emails and has bad communication in person (Maybe she is only interested in new contract). If you are willing to moving in this apartment, please consider it (other sevices are pretty good!)

Wonderful hospitality. Very clean quiet and beautiful space. Great garage and bike storage. There is even extra room for storage if needed. Beautiful dog park area.

Overall very happy here. Quiet, clean apartment complex with nice amenities. Great location near several parks and small communities with good restaurants. Apartment staff very helpful.

The Handicap button to enter the building has been broken for over six months. There are several people in wheel mobility devices. This matter needs to be addressed. There is also the lack of an on site playground for the children in the building. There is a large dog park in the rear of the building. It has plenty of space to put a small fenced playground with alterations for handicap accommodation. Not recommended for families. Professionals and adult students.

Amenities are very good. Everything is very clean. Staff is always there to help. The building is quiet and very nice. The neighborhood is very beautiful and you have easy access to the emerald necklace thru the back entrance.

Excellent amenities (pool, BBQ, fitness centre, lounge) and good location (2 mins from Green Line). Service is fast, but there could be better sound proofing between floors.

Friendly neighbors, great outdoor space for dogs and lovely pool/patio, but consistent issues with noise, A/C system, and unsupervised children. Great location in terms of living on the JP-Brookline border.

We have really enjoyed our time here so far. The management is dedicated to ensure the property is a pleasant environment and that it's tenants are following all guidelines so everyone is not disturbed unnecessarily.

The location is great - near a beautiful park, with very convenient proximity to the Longwood hospitals. The apartment itself is nice (though all plugs in the building are upside down) and the maintenance has been excellent. That being said, the noise in the hallways gets annoying - on a recurring basis, there are screaming children running back and forth down the hallways. The concierge based package system can be frustrating. And the new assistant manager only seems interested in helping those who are interested in leasing. Bring another matter to her attention and she makes you feel like an inconvenience.

Overall very happy with the experience. Generally speaking, it is a very respectful community in a nice neighborhood with good amenities. Maintenance staff very response to requests.

Fantastic first week as new residents! We have loved how welcoming everyone has been and how seamless the transition was for us. We feel like we are already at home!

This well-maintained building is located at the intersection of two great neighborhoods - Jamaica Plain and Brookline Village. There is a great dog run in the backyard, and the community is within walking distance of several parks. However, there are ongoing issues with communication with management, especially regarding noise complaints, indoor smoking, and unsupervised children running rampant in common spaces and hallways. There were also numerous ongoing issues with utilities such as water pressure and AC/heating; the maintenance staff is very attentive and friendly, but these issues persisted through the year. You can count on friendly neighbors and a convenient parking garage, but it is disappointing that amenities such as the dog spa and the lounge are usually unusable due to either hygienic or crowding concerns. If you are looking for a safe and moderately attended building, this is a good choice, but be forewarned that prices are steep compared to the value of the experience.

Overall, a safe and mostly clean building. We have had ongoing issues with noisy neighbors at late hours that have not been solved, and wish there was more communication from the management company. There doesn't seem to be improvement with noise issues or issues of people smoking in building common areas or leaving children without guardians in the lobby on a daily basis.

The apartment has a large dog park which was great for my dog. A huge plus! They maintained the apartment very well and the staff was awesome. i

I relocated from the West Coast and was looking for a clean safe place to live near work and was pleasantly surprised how welcoming everyone was. After two months we already feel right at home.

Location is great, walkable to the T. It has 3 parks right behind the building. Lots of restaurants near by. Free parking right outside the building. The best part about living here is the fully fenced yard and the dog community.

We've had a great move in experience. Plus the back yard area is great for our dog. Maintenance is quick to respond too.

This is a nice apartment community. They are close to hospitals, shops and the T. I love the amenities too.

It's in a convenient locations. MBTA is on the side walk, pool, open gym, laundry... Forrest hills station is 10 min away. Also, Jackson Square station 4 min away,10 min walk. The biggest LOVE, Jamaica pond. What a wonderful-beautiful view to wake up. Nice location to go for a good jog or bike ride. Highly recommend.

Bel Olmsted Park is one of the best apartments Ive ever been
