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.

Property Ratings at Chroma
We enjoy living in chroma. The building is well maintained and we feel safe. When something is broken down, our maintenance request will be met within a few days
We just moved in a week ago and it has been wonderful. I love everything about this home. Everyone has been so welcoming. My kitties love the windows and space to play. We love having no stairs (I use a cane).

I love living here and just enjoying being in the apartment. I have been planning to explore more, but it’s hard when the home is so nice, and there’s so many things to do!
Chroma is a great place to live! Convenient location, up to date apartments and lovely staff. I would recommend this to anyone looking to live in Cambridge!

Hi! Thanks so much for the review! Appreciate you as a Chroma resident and please reach out if we can help in any way. The Chroma Team
The fire alarms for the whole building go off in the middle of the night. Sometimes twice in a night. Walls are thin and you can hear your neighbors. People smoke in their rooms and the hallways smell. It can actually seep in from the hallway to your apartment too. Unnecessary lighting that strongly illuminates trees in the courtyard shines on bedroom windows. The vents above the stoves are weak at getting rid of cooking smells. AC/heat air intake system is very noisy and in the open concept living/dining/kitchen area. Appliances are not good: dishwashers, refrigerators, and washer/drier are GE and very noisy. The floors are wobbly when walking across the apartment. The AC takes a long time to cool down the apartment. The only thing luxury-grade is the rental price. Property management representative generally deflects from solving any problems. A couple nice things: the repair and custodial staff are excellent! The building has a sky deck and a parking lot.
The apartment is quiet and clean. I like the location. The parking is easier around the apartment. You can easily find street parking nearby.
Chroma is awesome. Great amenities and love the rooftop view! All of the appliances and in unit laundry are awesome. Also love that its pet friendly. Great place to live.
Have been at Chroma three years and love it! Great amenities - the huge windows and natural light are awesome. Staff and maintenance team are responsive and quick to fix issues. Highly recommend!
Great apartment complex and community. Clean, modern design. Leasing office is friendly and welcoming. Looking forward to utilizing all the amenities here.

Property Manager at Chroma, Responded To This Review
Hi! Thanks so much for the review! Glad to hear you have had a great experience at Chroma Apartments! The Chroma Team
I look around me and I see happy, joyful, free humans living together in harmony. That comes from the care, consideration, and professionalism of the Property Manager, the Facilities Coordinator and Environmental Engineer
I lived here for two years and loved it! The location was perfect for my family and my kids loved the park across the street. If I ever relocate back to Cambridge, I will definitely be moving back to Chroma.
