Apartments near Brighton, MA

“Really enjoyed my time renting one of their properties. They own some lovely places in Brighton and would definitely recommend to others. The landlord and his crew are a great bunch of people that are always happy to assist in any way. My 4 years on Nottinghill Rd. were amazing!”

“I want to thank Clare and Andrew for their professionalism and for addressing any concerns I had. I had significant noise issues from upstairs neighbors, and both Clare and Andrew listened carefully, apologized, and worked quickly to resolve the situation. While the issue took longer to resolve due to circumstances outside their control, they worked hard and eventually solved the problem. I also want to highlight how accessible the leasing office is—they’re usually available in person and always return calls promptly, so I never felt like I was waiting to get in touch. Having lived in multiple managed buildings, I know how important it is for the leasing team to be cordial and responsive, regardless of the solution they can provide. Clare also took the time to communicate my concerns to higher management, which I truly appreciate.”

“Tim at CJL recently helped us with the sale of our family home. It was an unusual property and he did a great job of marketing it to the appropriate buyers. He worked very hard throughout the process, keeping us informed every step of the way. We were surprised at how fast things happened, but all for the best.
Tim’s professional and friendly manner made him a pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend Tim and CJL!”

“I had a great experience working with Paul as he is very accommodating as well as helpful in all areas of living on the property, from getting in touch with maintenance as well as general lease information is very clearly explained by him, and if you are thinking of moving to the building I would definitely recommend getting in touch with Paul Nguyen!”

“Just wanted to give a big shoutout to the front desk team of 303 — they’re amazing! Mustafa (and another gentleman whose name I don’t know) are always super kind, professional, and helpful.

I called a few months after moving out, and Mustafa still remembered me! He was so nice and went out of his way to help with what I needed. It honestly made my day.

It’s rare to meet people who care that much — the management is really lucky to have such great staff at the front desk!”

“Being homeless is hard on you so when I arrived with my wagon full of stuff I left everything in the lobby near the security guard. I checked in with lesha and we talked for a little while to discuss what apartment I was interested in. After we talked for a while I gave her my mass ID and she gave me the information for the apartment that I was going to look at. One of the tenants in the building helped me figure out how to use the elevator and when I got to the apartment on the 13th floor I couldn't figure out how to open the door so I went back and talked to lesha again. She helped me figure out how to open the door and then I went and checked out this beautiful beautiful one bedroom apartment on the 13th floor. I don't necessarily like the refrigerator but it's uniquely different. The apartment was not made for handicapped individual but it was nice just the same had plenty of room plenty of closet space and there's so many possibilities of how you can decorate this one bedroom apartment. There's enough space across from the kitchen to put a little dining table and some chairs and then close to the window would be your living room so you'd be able to set up your flat screen TV a table a sofa whatever you want then in the bedroom it's big enough for like single bed or full size bed and you still have plenty of space for all the essentials you need you know trash can dresser whatever. They include with the apartment the refrigerator and a microwave and they have a washer and dryer stacked on top of each other when you first come in the door to the apartment. It also includes a dishwasher and a very unique looking oven and stove combination. The only thing I noticed was that the oven and stove are like handicap accessible. The stove is one of those electric cooktop ranges and then underneath is a small standard oven. I don't plan on cooking too much for the holidays in this place it's just not big enough to put in a 10 lb turkey and make all the pies the cakes and the stuffing and big macaroni and cheese that I normally make. I don't like being up high I prefer being down low when it comes to these high rise apartments but this was a very nice place. I enjoyed help everything looked and I enjoyed talking with the security guard and lesha. Thank you for the beautiful experience.”

“I’ve been here about 8 months and couldn’t be happier. The location is close to Boston, public transportation, Porter and Davis Squares and the beautiful, Somerville Community Path. The wonderful staff is professional, helpful and friendly.
The one downside for me is at age 73 I would love for this to be my last residence but the cost and rent increases make that appear to be unlikely.”

“I recently signed a lease with Alcott and the leasing team was amazing. Jimmy N specifically was extremely helpful and went out of his way to answer all of our questions and helped us secure the unit we had our eyes set on.”

“I couldn’t be happier with my experience at RE150 in Medford! From the moment we toured the apartment, Dana at the front desk went above and beyond. She guided us through the logistics, answered all of our questions, and has been incredibly helpful with every maintenance request since moving in. The management team, including David and Kathleen, is also fantastic—responsive, professional, and genuinely caring about residents. The apartment itself is well-maintained, comfortable, and a joy to live in. Dana and the entire team make living here an outstanding experience. Highly recommend RE150 to anyone looking for a great place to call home!”

“I’ve been living at 660 for 3 1/2 years and the staff and concierge are always super helpful and kind!! I have weekly deliveries and Ed & Dave are always on it with assisting me.”

“I lived here for all four years of college, and this apartment truly made my time in Boston happier. I honestly think this is the best apartment in Boston. The building is well designed and well maintained, and the location is super convenient. Everything you need for daily life is nearby, and the staff has always been friendly and responsive!

Special thanks to Marcus for helping with my move-out process and for following up on my security deposit check after move-out — I really appreciated it!

After living here for several years, I can confidently say this is the best apartment I’ve ever lived in. It made a big difference knowing the staff genuinely cares about residents, even after move-out. Highly recommend!”

“Matt is the best!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I truly felt compelled to take the time and write a review because of how exceptional our experience has been with Matt, the Leasing Consultant here. It’s rare to find someone in leasing who genuinely cares this much about residents’ experience.

We scheduled an apartment tour online, and Matt gave us an incredibly informative tour. He patiently answered what must have been hundreds of our questions. My husband and I can be a bit of an anxious couple with many follow-ups and double-checks, but Matt has always responded promptly, clearly, and with so much patience. He often went out of his way to make things clear and easy for us --- move-in logistics, billing details, ESA documentation, etc --- Matt truly seems to have an answer or solution for everything.

We really appreciate Matt and honestly credit him as the main reason we decided to sign here. We just moved in last week and already feel right at home.”

“We absolutely love this place! The community is great, facilities and amenities and top notch. The management really values and care for their residents, any issue is being dealt with swiftly.”

“Excellent place to live, for the price, at such a convenient location. The apartment management is very helpful and we had a great time. Special mention for Brandon, Noah and Paul.”

“I’ve had a great experience living at Riverbend on the Charles. The community is well maintained, peaceful, and in a beautiful location by the river. What really makes a difference, though, is the staff. Nicole and Rolando have both been incredibly helpful, professional, and responsive whenever I’ve needed assistance. Their friendly attitudes and excellent service make living here even better. I truly appreciate how much they care about residents and the community. Highly recommend Riverbend on the Charles to anyone looking for a great place to live!”

“I had an excellent experience working with Katriana Lombard-Lima during my leasing process at Avalon at Assembly Row. Despite living overseas, Katriana made everything smooth and stress-free. She patiently answered all my questions, provided clear guidance, and ensured I felt confident throughout the process. Her professionalism and responsiveness truly stood out!”

“Hello, I would like to leave a positive review for the management office at The Chase Apartments. I had a problem with my upstairs neighbor’s children making a lot of noise from about 9:00 p.m. to 3:30 a.m. since I moved in. After I submitted several complaints and spoke with the manager in the office, she talked to my neighbors, and the situation improved a lot. I really appreciate the help and professionalism of the management team at The Chase.”

“I am a new tenant at this property and we easily managed this process with very healthy and friendly communication with Caeli Bench at the leasing office. Thank you very much for the detailed service she provided to us.”

“I been a tenant here for four yrs and Ben treated very. I like how the management keeps up the building . the mental n. Man d o a grey job one man especial mike is always drpeedab k e. and. does an outstanding jjob

Edit 1/26/26: Hi everyone, i Duane Callender has been a tenant here for over eleven years and counting in this apartment. I've done my best to keep up with my place with the help of the management team and maintenance crew.I Recently spoke with Kaitlyn Doran the building manager and Kristina Kirby the Resident Service Manager, about my unit concerns. I asked if they could help me with getting my bedroom floor rug clean. Kaitlyn suggested replacing it with a vinyl flooring which has been done. The room has been painted too.

Thanks to the maintenance crew, who found the window (s) needs to be replaced and the window is secure for now until the window(s) can be replaced. My washer machine went dead and Kaitlyn had that replaced as well! And finally the kitchen sink was leaking and that is fixed Amen!!!

I would like to thank Kaitlyn Doran, Kristina Kirby, and the maintenance crew Gerorge, Patrick, James for their time and patients dealing with my ongoing unit concerns. Again thank you all for your time and concern in the above mentioned matter.”

“I’ve been living here for almost 3 years now, and overall, I’ve had a positive experience in general. I hope everyone can find a place that suits them the best.

1. Maintenance: Bruce and his team have consistently done an excellent job. They are always responsive, and most maintenance requests are resolved within 36 hours.

2. Location: The location is fantastic, whether you have a car or not. Within walking distance, you'll find a bakery, coffee shop, Mexican restaurant, Chinese food, and a Japanese ramen spot. There’s also a Stop & Shop and Super 88 Market nearby for groceries. Of course, the subway station is just around the corner.

3. Parking: There are both covered and uncovered parking options available. There may also be public parking nearby, which could be cheaper, though I’m not sure about the specifics.

4. Pets: The building is pet-friendly, which is great if you're a pet owner.

5. Noise: The noise level depends heavily on your neighbors. The walls are a bit thin, so if your neighbors aren't respectful of quiet hours (11 p.m. to 7 a.m.), it can be disruptive. Unfortunately, my neighbor hasn't always followed the community rules, which has been a bit frustrating.”

“We have been homeowners for almost 30 years now and when we moved to Waltham for a job opportunity, we decided to try living right downtown within walking distance to restaurants, grocery stores, walking trails, and public transit. The Merc at Moody and Main more than fit the bill. The leasing and move in process was easily a 5 star rating because of the stellar staff that worked as a team to address any questions that we had about our unit. I reserved my review until we had been here a while and I could give an overall review of the entire property-still an easy 5! I can not say enough about everyone from the maintenance guys, the grounds crew, the housekeeping staff that greets my dog and I each morning when we go out for a walk, and the friendly residents. So many positives happening in this community. Jeff and staff keep the place decorated and warm for every holiday season and I'm not sure they even know how much those efforts make The Merc feel like home. They also work tirelessly to plan activities for us all to enjoy and get to know each other and their doors are always open when we need them. I really wasn't expecting to be in a place where I no longer miss having our own property. We love living here and being a part of this amazing community.”

“I had a great tour guide, who showed the properties in the very best light. He answered all of my questions, was very patient,. If I choose to live here, he will be one of the main reasons.”

“This is a great community. The managers Kaeleen and Alina are wonderful and kind people. It’s single rooms, shared kitchen and bathrooms and quite affordable for the area of Boston. Security guard over night too. Love this place”

“Thank you to Jaimie Edo and her team Ariel Sheris and Steven Ally for all the support you provide our residents every day at Quarry Stone @ Overlook Ridge. The residents are very fortunate to have such a professional, responsive and proactive team to answer and respond to all of our questions and concerns with a cheerful look and attitude. The true test of a property management team is their performance under the worst circumstances and this team has demonstrated More than once. I have firsthand experienced this team nothing short of spectacular.”

“As a resident of Metro Marina Bay for nearly 7 years I have nothing but great things to say about the property - and the lovely people who manage and maintain it! They are attentive to details and treat every resident like family. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for an alternative to city living, the proximity to the city - and all that Quincy / Marina Bay has to offer can’t be beat.”

“I want to thank Stephen B. for his excellent help. He came quickly and got our fireplace working. We are very happy with his service. Thank you, Stephen, for your help and fast response!”

“We live in Royal Belmont for more than 1,5 year. We are in love with our appartment and the place. Everything is so close to the building and not too much traffic. Moreover, I want to thank manager Chris Gillis, who was our remote coordinator and showed us the amenity online, when we were phisically in Kazakhstan. Chris is truly exceptional! He goes above and beyond for residents, always responding quickly, solving issues efficiently, and treating everyone with kindness and respect. His professionalism, positive attitude, and attention to detail make living here such a great experience. The Royal Belmont has very friendly and diverse community, so future residents please come here, you will love this place and people! Best, Dana”

“I had an exceptional experience working with Stacy Hayertz at the Lofts at Kendall Square. From our very first interaction, Stacy stood out for her professionalism, responsiveness, and above all, her solutions-oriented approach. She didn’t just answer my questions—she anticipated my needs and proactively offered thoughtful, tailored solutions every step of the way.

Whether it was navigating lease details, exploring options that matched my preferences, or addressing logistics with clarity and patience, Stacy made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. Her deep knowledge of the property and genuine desire to help, made a huge difference.

What impressed me most was Stacy’s willingness to go the extra mile. She treated every concern, big or small, with care and attention, and I always felt like a priority—not just another transaction. It’s rare to find someone so professional, helpful, and personable all in one.

The Lofts at Kendall Square is lucky to have her—she’s a true asset to the team, and because of her, I’m confident I made the right decision in choosing this community.

Thank you, Stacy!”

“Harborview at the Navy Yard is a great place to live. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the building is beautiful and well maintained, and the location is perfect. It's a very peaceful area, and a short walking distance from all the action of downtown Boston. If you want the best of both worlds, this is it.

I highly recommend this apartment community!”
