Arianna Martinez was outstanding from beginning to end. She was incredibly responsive, took calls and emails promptly, and made sure someone was there to meet me in Boston — even during a major winter storm.
The financial approval process was thorough and at times a bit involved, but Arianna stayed with me every step of the way. She was solution-oriented, patient, and worked hard to ensure everything moved forward smoothly.
The John M Corcoran & Company team held the unit for me, adjusted my move-in date to help reduce overlap, and ultimately I secured two months free rent. I couldn’t be hap…

The process was so simple and first day ww had Kyle taking me and my wife around the apartment. We were able to find our next home within 20 mins. He was very friendly and prompt in updating us on the readiness of the apartment. Stacy was the super-woman, she completed the documentation process in no time and handed us the keys even when it was on last day of the year, a big kudos to her. We lived in this community for almost 7 years and been away for an year and we are back again. We love Shrewsbury Commons because it has wonderful surroundings and nearby.

I have reached out to my property management about numerous ongoing issues at Halstead in Redbrook. The office mangers are more worried about towing cars then they are about actual issues! They expect you to pay 4000 a month for an apartment but don't feel the need to return emails about your children finding drugs in the hallway! Love the location but fed up with management! Bring back Katie she was the only who cared about this property while remaining professional and helpful! Since she left things have gone completely down hill! The staff you have now is completely unprofessional and unres…

Moving in has been stressful as it is. On top of that I have requested for 4 days now for maintenance to look at my washing machine as it stopped before it rinsed my daughter’s clothes which she needed for work. There is no handle on my faucet in the master bathroom and the towel rack in the main bathroom fell right off. I was told there were more pressing issues due to water leaks yeah that’s reassuring. Well I would normally understand. I don’t understand why I always promised someone would be here on Tuesday. It is now Thursday and I haven’t had one date. I just moved in and I can’t wash my…

I moved in yesterday, but the process was super seamless. Got my keys in under 10 min, My building is super clean and the unit is so beautiful! It’s spacious, comfortable, tons of closet space (2 walk ins in my unit), carpets are light color and were super clean upon arrival. Balcony is spacious, kitchen is just enough space for 1 person like me.
The community seems really sweet too so far, everyone says hi.
This is my first experience living completely alone
and I’m really loving it so far!

ELEVEN (11) STRAIGHT DAYS WITH NO HOT WATER in my apartment where I live with my two kids @ Redbrook in Plymouth. The only solution offered is an empty unit in another building to shower with no timetable for replacement scheduled.
I’ve lived here for 2 years and while the first year was good, we have experienced issues like this one after another over the last 6 months. I’d encourage you to ask other residents and they’ll confirm the same issues with JMC & Co, the management company.
Example 2: The grills have been out of service for 4 months (April 17 - today).
Example 3: JMC & Co has cut …

Does not deserve not even 1 star. Do not rent from Washington mill 240. Elevators don't work, people smoke cigarettes' in the halls. My window in my apartment has been broken for 8 months (still waiting on it to be fixed), It was a great place to live until John M Corcoran took over. This is equivalent to section 8 housing not luxury apartments.

Absolutely horrible company. Impossible to contact, irresponsible with finances, lazy employees (from top down) and poor service to the point where our building had zero interior or exterior maintenance/cleaning for over 18 months before our trustees finally fired them. Good riddance!

Don’t rent at 420 Washington Mills in Lawrence MA. It’s supposed to be a smoke free building but people smoke weed everyday and it seeps right through the thin walls. I have told the front office and property management many times. All they can do is put out letters and emails. They have no way to effectively enforce it.
I have asthma and it makes me really sick. Oh and if you want to break your lease you have to give 60 days notice. Even though they can’t enforce a non smoking policy.
Not worth $2200 a month this place like all rentals is a complete ripoff.

Corcoran took over management of an apartment building that I currently live at. It seems like they are trying to Squeeze every penny out of residents as possible, while providing as few services as possible. This is a large building with 300 or more units and they have one cleaner for the entire building - my elevator and stairs get washed once a month maybe. This is a pet friendly building, so often there are accidents that never get cleaned up. It’s very nice to come home after a long day of work to your apartment that you spent $4000 a month And have to step in dog piss every day. No on …

I have been a tenant at Union 345 managed by this company since Aug 2023, and while I initially enjoyed the community, my experience with management has been frustrating due to an ongoing noise issue that has severely impacted my sleep and well-being for over two months.
Despite reporting the issue on December 2, 2024, management did not respond until January 27, 2025. Their maintenance team later identified the rooftop heating system as the likely noise source, but there has been no confirmed resolution timeline, and they continue to claim they are “waiting for a vendor” with no clear date f…

I live at their manager 50 W. Broadway location.
Pro’s:
- good location central in Boston
Cons:
- chronic hot water issue. I have now gone over a month without hot water which goes against housing code and lease agreement. They told me I still have to pay full rent. This issue has been going on for years
- chronic AC issues
- rat/mice infestation
- internal package theft issue, which they do nothing about despite video evidence
- lack of communication
- extremely high rent prices; they market this place as “luxury”
