Charles was great. My dryer controls stopped working, and he was able to diagnose the issue and replace the control board. The repair was completed quickly and everything is working again. Thanks, Charles.

Picked this apartment because it has EV charging. When I first moved in 9 months ago, only 2 out of the 4 chargers were working. I informed management, but they never fixed them. Now only 1 out of the 4 EV chargers works… and the rate is almost as high as a supercharger.

Excellent apartment complex building! I have been living here for 9 months and just love it. The offices and maintenance team have exceeded my expectations. Maintenance workorders are resolved between 24 to 48 hrs of opening the request!

Great apartment complex. Amazing office staff!!! Lived here for 3 years and wish I was staying longer.
A shoutout to the Maintenence team at Penrose, specifically Charles. He is fast, thoughtful, respectful, and goes above and beyond when your place needs any maintenance work done.

The maintenance team and specifically Charles and his response time and work ethic made my experience here the best property I have ever stayed in.

Do NOT stay here. My husband and I booked an Airbnb at this property and were absolutely shocked by what we encountered. For the price we paid, we expected at least a clean and safe environment. Instead, we were greeted by a man who appeared to be homeless and was smoking right inside the building. The stairwell reeked of urine, and the hallways smelled strongly of body odor and garbage. It was unsettling to say the least.
During our stay, we struck up a conversation with a couple who actually lives in the building. They told us that none of the residents were even aware that multiple units h…

Lived here for over 2 years. Perfect location, 4 blocks from either end of Mass Ave, and loved my apartment. If anything was ever wrong (maybe called maintence 3x in 2+ years) they were on it and amazing (Shout out to Robert for being the best and most kind maintenance person I’ve ever met, however, they are all wonderful and friendly.) What is different about Penrose is the leasing reps are all tenured and have been there a long time which is so rare to not have leasing people attrit. They get to know you and get to know your pets names too. I only did not renew as I moved to a different stat…

Very quick response with my maintenance request! Charles was great and took extra time to fix my light that went out while he was working on my original request.

Timely fix to my solution and went the extra mile to replace older parts to improve my shower experience.

Okay so I NEVER leave reviews but I believe when something is great it deserves to be recognized!! I lived at Penrose for 2 years and could not have enjoyed my time more at this complex!
- First of all I'm from out of town and was nervous about the move. The complex is just so welcoming it took all my worries away! I truly did not have one bad neighbor during my time there!
- The complex is organized. The leasing office is extremely good at packages and I never had a package go missing or ever be misplaced!
- The pool and gym are very well kept and clean year round. I enjoyed them both almost …

I would absolutely recommend renting at Penrose on Mass! The price point is perfectly aligned with for the area and the amenities just add to the value!
The location is perfect! Right in the heart of Mass ave! I love that the office is on the 2nd floor right next to the mail boxes, gym, pool and resident lounge where I can grab a cup of coffee. If I am working out, getting my mail etc, I can conveniently check in with the office if I need anything!
A few other things I love about this building is the convenient package locker one the first floor, the convenient parking and being able to walk o…

I would absolutely recommend finding somewhere else to rent. Penrose on Mass is completely overpriced for the quality / experience that you will receive. For a one bedroom apartment with a single parking spot, you will be shoveling out ~$2,200 a month even before utilities like electricity and wifi
- Building quality is obviously poor -
When the resident in the unit above mine would walk around, it actually sounded like they were going to crash through my ceiling. The walls are so thin that you can constantly hear other residents alongside literally every noise on the street. As well, my slid…

Lived here for two years and, after seeing other complexes in other states, I can confidently say that my experience was ideal.
The hallways and common areas are always clean. The staff is super nice, communicative and very informed of what’s going on locally. The garage is clutch — no better feeling than being in the heart of downtown and being able to get in and out quickly.
I lived here while in my 20s but I’d say the community was happily mixed. Some families, some singles, grad students to retirees. I’d recommend anybody to splurge on this place and get an apartment with a Mass Ave view…

I've always dreamed of living downtown no matter what city I was in however the timing was never right. Recently i became an empty nester and work in the heart of downtown so the timing was perfect. I looked at several apartments good and bad but when my leasing agent showed me my apartment here at Penrose I feel in love with it. Easy moving process, very clean, a lot of nice updated amenities, staff seems cool, a little confusion with garage access at first. The apartment very connected with the community and keeps their tenant update on upcoming events, issues and freebies. Maintenance tur…

AMAZING PLACE TO LIVE. WE HAD A 15 MONTH LEASE AND ENJOYED EVERY DAY OF LIVING THERE. MAINTENANCE CREW AND OFFICE STAFF ARE OUTSTANDING!
