Princeton on Back Cove

"i have had horrid apartment living experiences before living here, but this complex has completely changed my mind. the apartments are really nice for how old they are, the upkeep is very good. the kitchen is tiny but for the price and location, it’s not an issue. maintenance is great and very helpful. everyone minds their own business. i’ve been here about three months and i love it. going to ask for a longer lease soon :) thanks for the wonderful apartment experience princeton!"

"I have been living at Princeton on Back Cove on and off for about 18 years, I always return to this apartment complex to rent an apartment when I am back from my travels and can easily recommend it to everyone who wants to live in Portland. The apartment complex is located by the Back Cove where you can spend time walking by the water and enjoying a quiet area of the city, throughout the year. The location is only a 6 minute ride away from the city center, it is close to bus lines and a large supermarket. Maintenance on the propriety is very reliable and prompt, and it has also improved over the years. Snow is plowed promptly and neighbors are generally quiet and respectful. I am impressed that the propriety office implements the official policies consistently. Rent prices are generally very good, especially when compared with other downtown apartment complex."

"I don't know who these property management companies in Portland think they are but there should be a law against increasing the rent to at or above market rate and not maintaining a quality unit with an adequate maintenance schedule to reflect the rent increase. $1340 for a 600 sq ft one-bedroom is NOT a reasonable price in any market, under any circumstance. I spoke with Princeton on Back Cove's leasing manager, Lindsay, who was very good at relieving herself from even acknowledging the issues, let alone proposing a solution. The issues I stated are in violation of the Maine Warranty of Habitability Act and have already been raised as a maintenance request politely on more than one occasion. I have been in contact with code enforcement and Princeton on Back Cove will be receiving a notice to fix the issues or face legal action."

"I love my apartment at Princeton at Back Cove, I feel fortunate! A spectacular water view within a "stone's throw," within walking distance of uptown, the grocery store and spectacular neighborhood of local merchants to benefit from are just some the 'basic' features that I love. The staff is very helpful and friendly, the laundry convenient and my neighbors and their dogs are the very best anyone could ask for. There are some aspects to the apartment that are dated as it is a building that was built in the 1940's, but nothing that isn't handled well and that a renter can't work with. If I had louder neighbors or yippy dogs around me, I might feel differently as the walls aren't that well insulated, but as I said, I feel very fortunate! Deb A."

"We have been so pleased with everything here so far. We moved in a little less than a month ago. We were looking for a place that was in Portland, close to 295, dog-friendly, on-site parking available as well as laundry. Princeton Properties has it all! Our neighbors are all really quiet and we love our location. Our one bedroom apartment is the perfect size for my husband and I, as well as our 3 year old dog. They also have a flexible lease which we appreciate. However, I think we will stay a lot longer than we originally intended. Thank you for making our transition so easy!"
