Baker Chocolate Factory Apartments

Was really unfortunately a huge disappointment moving in here. We were promised so many amenities that really aren’t even available. We were told parking was included both times we voted the place. Then smacked with a $200 bill every month $100 for each car! Was sold on the dog park yet it was in the winter and couldn’t tell that it’s just a fenced in mud/dirt pit that tenants are constantly pulling glass shavings out of it. Children are left unattended in the back patio area late at night while screaming and playing with little or no supervision leaving garbage everywhere for everyone else to pick up before their animals do! I can’t even count how many times we had to take our laundry to a laundry service because the machines don’t ever work, people leave their items in there for days or they leak all over the place. Water has been shut off so many times that I can’t even count. Management has changed 4 times in the past 8 months. Tenants are dropping like flies. Many tenants have expressed their concern about getting charged for utilities when it’s supposed to be included in rent and have been paying them since they moved in and many errors of rent ledgers amd payment mistakes. Or they REQUIRE payment due on the first yet don’t process it for over two weeks. I came into this community hoping to find a long term home where the grounds and amenities were always taken care of and living in a clean fresh environment but it’s the total opposite and has been very stressful. I’ve seen at least 5 people in the past month that states they were breaking their leases early to get out of there! It’s sad because these apartments can be beautiful and run properly if they can maintain staff and long term tenants maintenance is about the only thing consistent around here. They guys are always on top of things, extremely polite and go out of their way to make you feel at home.

The Baker Chocolate Factory apartments are newly renovated and in a great location. Richie, who is in charge of maintenance and repairs, goes above and beyond to help residence with any problems that may occur. It’s great knowing you can count on him.

Great location, convenient to the red line & the patio sits on the Neponset. 5 min walk to restaurants & grocery store, River Trail is nearby. Nice apartments that look good. I have high ceilings & architectural tidbits leftover from the chocolate factory that add character. There are amazon lockers.

If you like peace and quite then this place definitely ISN’T for you. The walls and ceilings are super thin and you can literally hear everything your neighbors are doing all around you. We’ve lived here going on three years now and the first two years we really liked living here. Our neighbors above were super friendly and very considerate but now we have new neighbors and it sounds like Big Foot is living directly above us. We’ve lived in numerous apartment buildings and the noise we encounter here is insane. We constantly hear stomping, banging and furniture sliding across the floor at random hours of the day and night. We’ve had pictures fallen off of a certain wall multiple times because of the vibration from all the stomping, eventually we just stopped hanging them back up. Early every morning we are woken up because it sounds like this person is marching right in our hallway - from the bathroom to the kitchen. I sleep with a pillow over my head and a fan running on high to drown out the noise but I can still hear this person stomping back and forth. The stomping starts up again every evening around 7pm, not sure if this person is angry when they get home and taking it out on the floor or maybe they are working out. I will say that after numerous complaints the leasing office was nice enough to offer us a transfer to another apartment but we declined since we will not be renewing our lease here. I’m pretty sure the person who takes this apartment after we leave will complain about the exact same issue. Other then the noise the neighborhood has gotten a lot worse over the last year as we’ve recently had our car broken into and we’ve also had numerous packages stolen over the last couple of months. Please do no let the aesthetics of this place fool you. I guarantee you can find a better place to live and a safer place
