  Such a Great Stay! This place was awesome! The service was so attentive—they got every little thing I needed sorted right away. The manager here is so amazing—super nice and crazy attentive. She helped me with everything the whole time. The service felt so personal thanks to her, and the apartment’s cozy too. 10/10

  I’ve lived here since september 2021 as a student and have had a mixed experience being as a resident. This review is long, but worth the read before signing a lease. The pros: -utilities are included in rent so you get the same bill every month - Very close to transit - No cockroaches - The lady who cleans the building does such an amazing job - It’s a concrete building so there is some blocking of noise - I’ve never had any packages left outside my door stolen - There’s visitor parking and it’s usually easy to find a spot. Cons: - Over the course of the 4 years i’ve lived here there has been many break-in attempts at building, with some successful attempts such as 1. two individuals were let in by a resident into the building around 2am with a hammer and began knocking on doors, when no one answered they pulled they fire alarm in hopes that people left their doors open for them to access (happened in early 2023). 2. group of individuals broke the glass by the elevators, proceeded to break into the leasing office and grab documents with personal information & the copies of unit keys around 5ish am. a resident ran into them and fought with them. we all had to get our locks replaced over the next 2 days (happened in 2023ish). 3. Last month we had the front door replaced with a different lock. Heard from another resident that this allegedly occurred because people who weren’t residents were coming into the building & causing issues. 4. On July 25, 2025 another break in attempt occured, they didn’t get in but the front door locked up and would not open. This lead to all residents unable to enter or leave the building around 7am. Maintenance guy was there but didn’t know where the building emergency exit was to direct people to it. I know of residents who were outside for over 40 minutes. Once the emergency exit was found, residents who wanted to enter the building had to wait until another resident exited the building as you cant open that exit door from the outside. - There is no AC in the building (except for landlords office) and a term on the lease is that no AC units are allowed to be used by residents. The units get extremely hot in the summer (i’ve had my unit reach 38 degrees). - They have K9 security, which when myself and other residents have called about security issues, they replied with “only the landlord or building owner can call us.” - The buildings 24/7 maintenance support is not 24/7. - Bellamy Manor next door has a drug dealer residing there (told to me by the old landlord), meaning that we get a lot of foot traffic from the clientele. Not to mention around a month ago there was a stabbing in that building leading to beacon place being surrounded by 12 cop cars, a fire truck and an ambulance. - The building north of Beacon Place is being demolished. It is a concrete building. This construction has been going on for a while, however, only now are they removing the concrete. This means it has recently gotten and will continue to be extremely loud. If you love the sound of jackhammers and saws, great. If you are a student, good luck. They go until 9pm every night, and will be jackhammering all day and evening. *I’ve attached a video of the ongoing construction for an understanding of the noise to occur over the next year* - This could be a pro to some people, but there’s not much done about noise complaints. There have been instances of two units complaining constantly about one very loud person, and nothing really came of it besides the landlord talking to them (which had little to no effect). - They will increase your rent every time you go to renew your lease. My rent has increased every year over the last 5 renewals. They say it’s because the rent was below market value, but they are comparing prices to buildings with air conditioning, gyms, pools, and community spaces (which there are none of here).I’ve talked to other residents who’ve negotiated their lease and have gotten it down from a 12% raise to only 8% (on a year lease, not month to month).

  My time living at Beacon Place was great. Amanda, Kristen and Jordan are an amazing group of people that go above and beyond to help you with anything. Renovations and upgrades were always being done to maintain the common areas as well as the units themselves. My unit (studio apt) had beautiful laminate flooring, stainless steel appliances and the kitchen was almost brand new. I had no noise issues from the units above or beside me. The building is clean, secure and security cameras are all over the place to keep everyone feeling safe. I'd recommend this place to anyone.

  I've just recently for a good 2 days. Staffs are nice and helpful. The time I contacted for rent, they tried their best to support me regardless of staff shortage, which I really appreciate. The apartment is spotless with nice kitchen. Love it!

  Overall this would be a nice appartment based on it's location. Unfortunately, it is not the same as before after the new company ourchased it. And the company started renovation and construction in this building since June, and still it is on going, and it is a lot of mass with construction noisy inside. The company did not care any requestments of the tanency inside. Please be aware about it and consider more before choose to move in. I am disappointed about the company of this buidling. The manager is nice and amazing, the only problem is the company behind the building. They might think that the tanency are small or nothing to care about. And even did not response the email to give solutions for disturbing our quiet life here.
