      City - Cambridge

      Nestled along the Charles River, Cambridge is home to both Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, two world-class universities that are located just two miles from one another. This one-of-a-kind college town stands as a historical, cultural, and education hub for the state of Massachusetts. Cambridge offers a charming atmosphere and unbeatable proximity to big-city living with its central location in the Boston metro area, located just three miles west of Downtown Boston.

      Nicknamed the “City of Squares” for its intersecting commercial districts, Cambridge offers residents direct access to urban amenities. Kendall Square can be compared to Silicon Valley due to its continuously growing concentration of start-ups. Central Square is your go-to for international restaurants, and Inman Square is a top pick for shopping, cafes, and nightlife. Art is alive and well in Cambridge, between street murals and sculptures and art galleries dotting the city streets.

      I'd like to share a few thoughts about my apartment, Zinc. it's exceptionally clean and very well maintained. The location is also unbeatable - just 2 minuite walk from Lechmere Station, which makes commuting incredibly convenient. One thing I truly appreciate is the management team's responsiveness. Whenever I submit a work order, they respond promptly and resolve the issue quickly and efficiently. Another thing I really enjoy is the proximity to Cambridge Crossing Park, with beautiful and therapeutic scenery that offers a peaceful escape from daily routines. The surrounding area also features a variety of great restaurants, making the neighborhood both relaxing and vibrant. Overall, I've had an outstanding experience living here and would highly recommend Zinc to anyone looking for a place that combines comfort, convenience, and excellent service.

      Very terrible leasing process

      I had a very bad experience today with a leasing agent from Greystar. I was contacted yesterday by a very nice person. I was contacted by a totally different person this morning, i thought all is normal. We started the application and by the time we were about to submit it the rent went 500$ higher than we discussed. I tried to contact the person i was talking to since the morning. He didn't pick up at first, i left a voice message. I tried the second time, he answered by mistake and then hang up. Then he called, I explained my concern, he said that prices can change any minute and this is normal. He said he will get back to me. Few minutes later, he got back to me saying that this is it, the rent went higher at 6:00 m this morning and that was mentioned on the website. Although the price on the apartment building still showing the same as we agreed to. I am so disappointed.

      Terrible. Sewage through the sink, no hot water, loud construction.

      Zinc provides a first-class luxury apartment experience with a vibrant, dynamic community and high-end living and amenity spaces just a short walk from Boston and Kendall Square. I highly recommend Zinc to anyone looking for a truly luxurious luxury-apartment experience at a reasonable price near Boston and Cambridge.

      Great place, even better staff.

      Zinc is a great place to live because of its staff. From the management office to the cleaning team, each member of the team is kind and courteous. They genuinely care about each resident and will try to accommodate any request within reason. Greystar did an excellent job in picking the current staff working at this property.

      Zinc is a very clean place to live with lots of community amenities. The apartment is spacious and the rent is comparable to places I looked at that were not clean, new or convenient. When I found zinc it was a breath of fresh air. Other places were very disappointing, especially since I was moving from a house in NY state to an apartment in a city.

      Amazing place to live, very quiet and construction noise was really not an issue. The apartment is clean and stylish with a great layout and reasonable price. There are many interesting activities for residents to bond with our community. Staff, management and concierge are all very nice, and Im very happy to work with Aizhan who helped me throughout the entire leasing process. She is always cheerfully responsive to all of my questions and did an amazing job that makes my move-in so easy. Overall, I can't recommend this building and community highly enough.

      Great Experience

      I recently moved into Zinc and have nothing but good things to say. The building is beautiful and very well taken care of and all the staff is great. Jessica helped me with the leasing process and she was amazing to work with. She answered all of my questions and made the moving process so easy. I can't recommend this building enough.

      I have really enjoyed my living experience at Zinc so far. The apartments have great layouts and amenities. There are rarely ever any issues and if there are they are minor (trash disposal not working) and my maintenance requests are completed within the hour by such friendly staff! They do a great job having events while following guidelines for COVID-19.

      Despite the whole construction situation around the building, overall I am quite satisfied after being here for more than 4 years. The only challenge I would mention is the culture that has changed over the past 2 years and I understand that the more the building get occupied the harder it is for the management and everyone to get along but there was an issue on my floor which I had brought into management attention couple of month ago and they asked me I have to send an email regarding my neighbor not complying with tge community policy and they didnt take tgat as a notice by just calling the office which to me was kind of annoying. I am not willing to confront the neighbor nor do I want to send a complaint under my name for something that they need to oversight instead of me just observing.

      Ive been at Zinc for nearly a month, but the experience has been great so far! The staff has been great in communicating prior to our move and making the transition go as smoothly as possible. We were even late with our move, but they still accommodated accordingly and made sure that our move went really well. The staff as well as our new neighbors continue to be hospitable and I have nothing bad to say about the community. Thanks again for having us!
