Brookwood At Holbrook

Some pro's of Brookwood at Holbrook - The rent is a lot cheaper than any other apartment complex in the area. The apartment is larger than many others I looked at in the area also. The other tenants are friendly and I feel pretty secure here. The laundry room and machin...es are kept pretty clean and doing laundry on site is very affordable. Some con's of Brookwood at Holbrook - There is not a lot of parking. It is a smaller complex so the lot doesn't need to be huge but if I come home after 7PM, I cant get a spot close to my unit. If I'm out late, I have to park all the way on the other side of the complex and walk which is not convenient. The snow removal is horrible and almost non existent when I compare it to the other complexes I have lived in. The buildings are SUPER OLD. Previous repairs to the walls, ceilings, and floors are poorly done. When the snow was melting after this past storm, it was pretty much raining in my apartment. The front window was leaking so the window frame and sill were soaked. The water was also dripping all the way down my living room walls. Most recently, I thought my heat was not working but the issue was the extreme draftiness of the building. I was told nothing would be done about these issues. Fingers crossed we do not get many other really cold days! Although maintenance calls are answered timely, sometimes the fixes are minimally satisfactory. I am writing this review to help other potential renters. I wish there were some neutral and honest reviews when I was looking for a place. I am not so unhappy that I feel I need to break my lease but I will seriously need to think about if I can stay here another year after my lease is up. Read More
