Kenilworth at Charles Apartments

"WORST Apartment Community EVER!! I’ve heard gunshots between 2-4 am. There also was a case of stabbing. HEAVILY Drug infested. Lots of drug dealing and crime at night and Lots of loud parties. U’ll get no sleep!!! The best part is just lying on the ground is heroin needles and other drug paraphernalia. Completely unsafe for families and pets or legit anyone. Gotta be super careful when taking out the trash so u don’t step on a needle or pipe. Also have fun seeing trash everywhere and beer cans/ solo cups. My car has been broken into multiple times. Lots of theft. Mice infested even in the summer no matter what u do. Even with traps and leasing office doing pest control still doesn’t help. If u don’t park before it gets dark u’ll get no parking bc visitors take it and leasing office doesn’t enforce it. So you basically gotta park at Kenilworth mall. Carrying lots of groceries from Kenilworth mall up the hill to ur apartment is exhausting . Meanwhile people attending parties and buying drugs have no problem parking. Maintenance is the only good thing about this place! Running as fast as I can out of this place once my lease is up. Can’t wait til it’s FINALLY move out time"

"the person who toured/gave me my lease as phenomenal. Office staff is always nice. I had super high hopes for this place, but believe it when the reviews say MICE!!! I live in constant fear and anxiety.. pest control & maintenance have been here every week for a month, claiming they have patched holes and i still see them. Would definitely break my lease if i could. BUILDING 1109 Charles view!!!"

"I lived here while in college, BUILDING 1149. My apartment was well kept from the first day to the last day and we still had mice. I’m almost positive the apartment was infested before we moved in. Exterminators were in our home every other week and were useless. Management was useless. I’m highly considering suing for the living conditions and inability/ unwillingness to fix the issues. You shouldn’t have to live with rodents that you did not cause. It’s cheap rent for a reason. I don’t know how we got so unlucky with an infested apartment. We ironically lived next door to a maintenance man who claimed he didn’t have mice in his apartment (which is why they made no attempt to do the right thing)."

"I have been here almost a month now. I compared several different apartment complexes before selecting this one. I also looked at Roger’s forge apartments and the Stevenson apartments-both have more recent updates such as newer appliances, etc. and were more expensive. I only selected this one because I found a perfect sublease, but really love it. I love the light, I like the nice open lay out in the living room, and I love the balcony. I like that parking is free (unlike the Roger forge apartments) and I haven’t had trouble finding a space. The proximity to Trader Joe’s, and 695 and 83 and the wooded setting is also great. The office staff are very helpful and friendly and I’m very happy to have settled here instead of the other apartment options I considered."

"I love this apartment. The maintenance is extremely effective and hands on. The ladies in the leasing office are kind!! However, I do not like our parking situation. We have limited parking spaces for guests and we only receive parking passes on Thursdays."
