  My family and I lived at 50 Forest Street for about 10 years. For the first several years, when the property was managed by Avalon, we had a very good experience. Unfortunately, after the property was sold and the ownership and management changed, our experience changed significantly. The HVAC system became a major issue. Our apartment would not cool properly, and the system seemed to run constantly, which resulted in extremely high electric bills—at times close to $1,000 a month. We also experienced a serious flooding incident caused by a burst pipe, which damaged my car and left stains that could not be removed. The cost was eventually covered, around $4,500, but the entire situation was extremely frustrating. What was most disappointing was how things were handled when we moved out. We received our security deposit check, which indicated that there was no outstanding balance being claimed against us. Months later, however, we were contacted about a $150 charge that had apparently been sent to collections. I called several times to get clarification and resolve the issue, but none of my calls were returned. After living there for 10 years, it was disappointing to see how much the experience changed. Based on our experience toward the end of our tenancy, I would not recommend 50 Forest.

  Prospective tenants should be aware of the current conditions at this building. The photos provided reflect ongoing issues that I experienced during my tenancy. The building has only three elevators serving all residents, and it is not uncommon for one or more elevators to be marked “Out of Service,” causing significant delays and inconvenience when entering or exiting the property. The photos also show large accumulations of garbage in areas adjacent to resident parking. In my experience, building cleanliness and maintenance standards were inconsistent. Additionally, my personal vehicles sustained damage on multiple occasions while parked at the property. Management was notified each time, but the only guidance provided was to contact my own insurance carrier. I did not feel that meaningful efforts were made to address the underlying issues or prevent future incidents. I encourage anyone considering this property to carefully evaluate the building’s maintenance, cleanliness, responsiveness, and overall management before signing a lease.

  Cannot warn potential residents enough to think twice before renting at this building. After the charade of the tour and move in is over, management is typically unresponsive to any simple requests. Not to mention the elevators you keep reading about in the comments…yes it’s true…it’s always down.

  The repair of the dishwasher was outstanding the tech came to the apartment quickly diagnosed the issue changed out the pump and was out the door in less then thirty minutes The only issue was it took over a week to get somebody and I was never contacted.
