Wellington Place

We’ve lived at Wellington Place for over a year, and it’s been hands down the best renting experience I’ve ever had in my life (and we move frequently, so I’ve had many apartments and landlords over the years.) The property is perfectly maintained, they’re constantly cleaning, painting, upgrading things around the property, refreshing the landscaping, and they do regularly scheduled maintenance checks and air filter replacements. They do a good job of communicating about upcoming maintenance, and other happenings. They recently repainted the parking lot and gave us two weeks notice, but we forgot to move our car for it. A normal landlord would have had us towed and found some extra fee to tack on, but they just kindly moved the cars of anyone who forgot like we did, to the other side of the lot for free. I feel like things around here are so already so nice but somehow keep improving, instead of normal bare minimum maintenance/​expenses that other landlord put into their properties. At Wellington Place they respond to maintenance requests big or small immediately. The general atmosphere is clean, friendly, and quiet. They have a pool with lounge chairs, and a grill that you can use, tons of parking, a fenced dog park, a 24-​hour gym, all the works. I was able to cancel my old gym membership — yay! I think they started a new running group for tenants, but I’m not awake early enough to find out what that’s about, lol! The absolute best thing about this place is the management. Dan and his team have been 100% professional, paying attention to detail, all while being kind and personable, and we are only willing to move from here because we’re buying our first home. Thanks for a great last apartment, Wellington Place! *Feeling nostalgic!*

Just moved back to this place after being displaced do to a burst water pipe. The management’s communication during this period was poor, at best. They are unorganized, especially when it comes to communicating with third party vendors.

We used to live here a few years back, and ended up moving because the location of our employers and our schedules for work required that we use public transit on a regular basis. We found out once we lived here that the access to the T station is more challenging than we realized at first. It’s not terrible, but it is not as straightforward as we would have liked. So anyhow, we moved away to another apartment. Wow, was that ever a mistake.
This place was actually really pretty nice, and the rent, while a little high, was totally more reasonable than where we ended up after we left here. The staff was very friendly, and the experience of living here was generally very good.
When we moved in we had to sign a paper stating that we understood we were very close to the T and there could be noise, etc. Let me tell you, when the trains came through, especially the Commuter Rail, they were LOUD. I mean, really loud. If we had our windows open we couldn’t hear each other when the trains were going past. I seem to remember there being one on average every 10 – 15 minutes, although I could be off a little bit. Anyhow, believe it or not we actually got used to it and it wasn’t really all that big a deal.
The apartment had plenty of room, and with the friendly staff we really never had any problems here. In retrospect, we probably should have stayed.
I would recommend this apartment complex to people looking for a place to live in Medford.

I do love our apartment we have lived there for two years now The parking can’t be beat and amenities such as the pool and gym are nice to have as well. But the fact that you can hear all your neighbors through the wood built frame of this building is defiantly a problem. Especially because of the cost of the apartments, I would like to live in a better quality complex for that amount per month. I rarely get sleep on the week nights for work because we are always woken up by either our next door or up stairs neighbors. It’s ridiculous what you can hear and it’s so loud that we are usually woken up all through the night! Also, the whole entire apartment is carpeted!!! Which is so tough to keep clean and not to mention horrible for allergies. The appliances are becoming outdated. Our dishwasher brakes on a regularly basis and now the complex has been bought out by another company and they are raising our rent $ 200 a month! Absolutely ridiculous! Needless to say we will be moving.

The location of Wellington Place is great, right across the street from Station Landing and the orange line, but without the jacked up rent prices of living in Station Landing itself. The apartments are clean and new and large by Boston standards. The parking can’t be beat and amenities such as the pool and gym are nice to have as well. The people who live in my building all seem to be very polite and will say hi and hold the door for you when you walk by. The only issue I had while living there was that the new management took forever to get anything done. My building was under construction for almost an entire year and all they did was paint and put new carpet in.

Been living here since 2010. I honestly can say I love it. Location is great. Amenities are great. Management is great too — they even tweet when a package arrives for you.

We moved back in September 2008 under the old management. True, the old management was lackluster, but that is why they were replaced. The new management is awesome and we’ve never had a problem with communication or getting anything we need.
We renewed our lease in September 2009 for another year. For the price, you can’t beat the location. We are right across the street from the Wellington T stop, and just 3 stops to North Station. It’s only 7 minutes by car to downtown Boston. And a cab ride from downtown is almost always under $ 15. Within a mile in any direction you have anything you could possibly need — supermarkets, CVS, Target, Costco, Staples, you name it.
The location is phenomenal, but the amenities are above all else. There is a great gym that is rarely overcrowded. The pool is open Memorial Day to Labor Day and you have the Mystic Park, which is a great place to relax, read a book, go for a run or take a walk.
All in all we are very happy with Wellington Place. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great location and great value.
