Plan to stay a while

Parkside does the things I value really well. Very clean and modern shared spaces: they want you to come down and enjoy them or reserve a private workspace or attend a resident social event. I love that everything is included in one price!! No unpleasant surprises. Should you need it, maintenance comes very quickly and solves the issue on the first go. Parkside also takes recycling seriously. But the best feature is that all kinds of people live here: MDs, students, families, seniors, retirees who have downsized, people in their working lives, etc. That means everyone has a different schedule. So it's wonderful that noise, loud music, acting stupid, or otherwise interfering with anyone's enjoyment of their apartment home isn't tolerated. I love the concierge! 24/7 coverage, package service, and a friendly face when I come home. Also, bus stops right at the front door. Why drive when I can be whisked to Harvard Square in 14 minutes. Very happy here. And I have a choice of walking around Fresh Pond, around the Belmont park, or even having a moment of quiet contemplation in the Belmont graveyard that is nearby and beautifully maintained.

Property Manager Responded: Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed and poaitive response. It gives all of us great satisfaction when we read that residents are very happy making their home with us at Parkside Place. We appreciate that you have chose to make your home here. Thanks again for the five-star review.

Nice place to live

I have been here since 2013. Parkside is a good place in which to live. The location is nice, across the street from a golf course and Fresh Pond. There is a bus stop in front of the building. The building is accessible (important for me as I am disabled). The lobby, clubroom, laundry and fitness center were renovated two years ago. Rent includes utilities and internet. The staff is courteous (especially the concierges) and maintenance is responsive.

Property Manager Responded: We appreciate you calling Parkside Place your home for over a decade. We know you have many choices. Thank you very much for taking the time to complete a survey. We value your feedback and it's reviewed at all levels of our company. Reach out to the office for any future concerns.

DO NOT RENT PLEACE HERE. RUN!

Elevator are always broken, management doesn’t care about residents. The building is always something wrong and in a repair mode all the time. This management tend to give you a cheaper rent that make you move in first and when is time to renew your lease, it cost you arm and leg I mean $500 per month increase for rent. Just don’t living here. Before you decide to live in here, stop by ask any of residents in the building, every one of us will tell you to run away from this place. This will be my last year here, and I really hope you take my advice. Go somewhere else, you deserve live better!

Property Manager Responded: We are disappointed to learn about your experience, but we appreciate the feedback regardless. We have three elevators for the 20-story building and regular maintenane is imperative. Our property is at or near full occupancy and the vast majority of residents enjoy all the property has to offer starting with its location overlooking Fresh Pond in Cambridge. Our rents are very competitive with nearby comparable properties are reflect the rental market across the city of Cambridge.

Fantastic place, fantastic people, fantastic memories

A very well-run, well-maintained building in a beautiful part of town. We appreciated the tranquility of being far enough from a bustling city, while having ease of accessibility to Greater Boston with the 75 bus, blue bikes and even, when we had time to spare, enjoyable 35-minute walks to Harvard Sq. Parks are all around, and Fresh Pond is a major attraction at all times. Major grocery stores are all a short walk from the building, and specialty foods (especially Armenian and Middle Eastern) are also nearby, plus good places to eat on Belmont St, Mt. Auburn and Huron Ave. The apartments have excellent facilities: very well-heated in the winter (you can control the temperature in the apartment), nice and cool with the AC in summer. Kitchens have ample fridge space, state of the art oven/stove and microwave, dishwasher, and plenty of cupboards. Closet space is a great feature of Parkside apartments, as you'll get several walk-in closets. Everything is in excellent shape, but if you need repairs, the maintenance crew is one of the most responsive and efficient around. Another great perk is having free laundry machines. The Club Room is a great place with free coffee on offer, a high-quality billiard table, and comfy work spaces. The backyard holds a special place in our hearts, because management very kindly allowed us to have a small party for our girls' first birthday there. It is a great place for entertaining kids, bbq'ing, or just to enjoy the greenery. But for all the many wonderful things one can say about the building, it's the people at Parkside who ultimately made our stay so special. David and Hannie at management are both friendly, forthright and very easy to communicate with, no matter how big or small the issue. They made us feel at home, and our family's gratitude to them is immense. The concierges are all wonderful; it was great to have them around to ask questions and pick up packages, but the warmth and friendliness of our conversations with Peter, Haile, John et al really made a big difference. Maintenance and cleaning crews are just as warm, friendly and efficient too. Once you get to know other residents at Parkside, the community feel of the building also becomes very clear and familiar. Although our life in Cambridge was ultimately a stepping stone to a future spent elsewhere, we consider our time spent in Parkside one filled with wonderful memories and bonds that will endure for a long time.

Property Manager Responded: Thank you for taking time to provide so much detail that supports your five-star review. We appreciate the time you took to share your thoughts and for acknowledging the efforts our staff. We feel that Parkside Place in Cambridge is worthy of your five-star review, and that it truly is a special place to live. Thanks again.
