Darien Commons Residences 102 Heights Road, Darien, CT 06820

"I'd definitely think twice before moving into Darien Commons. While it looks nice superficially, you realize the construction is low quality once you're really living inside it... especially when you consider the price tag. Worst aspect is the insulation - this place is nosier than NYC! You can easily hear dogs and neighbors in the hallway, any and all noises from outside, and your neighbors living above you. It really is brutal. New construction flop."

"I want to first highlight that Alyssa has been pleasant to work with, but that's where it ends. The rest of our experience as an early-stage prospective tenant has been nothing short of awful. I first toured Darien Commons when the scheduled opening date was July 17th. I applied and was enthusiastic about their vision. That's where the niceties ended and the lack of communication started. There have been three subsequent delays in the opening date of the building, and each time we had to follow up with the building to find out about them. Even worse, they sat with $4250 of my money and after a month I had still not gotten a lease agreement because "it wasn't ready". This is borderline criminal. To make matters even worse, I attempted to work something out with the management company and they've shown zero empathy or intent to try and help. No sort of makegood to offset the massive inconvenience and financial damage I've incurred by having to rent a short-term rental unit + storage unit. They couldn't even provide us with a concrete move-in date. I eventually pulled out of the deal and was refunded*. Be prepared to be given the run-around while they hold your deposit and application fees hostage. Truly one of the most miserable and stressful experiences. You have been warned. *edit: The management company finally decided to refund my application fee. Perhaps there is still some hope for integrity, but be prepared to fight for it."

"I love what they are building here. I was very lucky to have Alyssa Meyer guide me through the property. So well thought out. It was also great to tour during the construction phase as it gave me the confidence that everything is being built to the highest standard."
