Is good place and safe, nice apartment clean and quiet place... a bit expensive, and increasingly I think it's my last year here, the people in the office need to be friendlier. but overall it's fine ... I would give it 3 out of 5

Me and my wife moved in about a year ago and we have enjoyed it every day of it. The parking Garage is by far the best feature especially here in The busy boston community. We have a newborn coming in the way and we cant wait to start our new family in this place . Very pleased

Conheci este condom?nio atravez de uma vizita na apartamento de um amigo de mora aqui e gostei muito do condom?nio, e fiquei imaginando que quando fosse alugar uma casa que fosse assim confort?vel. Ent?o se passaram 2 anos. E por ironia do destino depois de muita procura por cidades proximas, acabei alugando exatamente no mesmo condom?nio do meu amigo. Este que estou agora. Obrigado.

The building is very beautiful as well as the apartments. The location is convenient, there's a bus stop 3mins away. the apartments are also very expensive and increase every year and the office staff can be quite rude at times. But overall it is a nice community

Parkside Commons made the move in process super easy and I have had no real issues thus far. I really enjoy the complex and the amenities offered. It's a quiet community and people that live here are friendly.

For some reason, this apartment building has some bad reviews, but from what I hear that stems from a management issue in the past and management has since changed. For me, communication with management has been easy and the building is great! If we have something that needs to be fixed the maintenance crew acts quickly to get it resolved that day or the next. Having in-unit laundry is great, and they are big units, not small units like some apartment have. The closet space is wonderful! Overall we are very happy living at Parkside Commons.

It is a good place to live. I'm living for a month and used some common features, such as grills and gym, and I didn't have any problem in sharing the space. It is not easy to manage 600+ families, but it is working.

So far it is good, amenities are usefull with the shuttle, coffee, and trash chutes. Only concern is how paper thin the walls are sometimes when hearing sounds from neighbors at night. Overall its good.

Prospective tenants beware: this apartment complex falls far short of living up to its promise of "luxury". I was reluctant to move to a city like Chelsea, which is not as "up and coming" as some make it out to be, but I justified my move because of its proximity to the city and Parkside's allure of certain amenities and comforts. The apartment is spacious enough, and I like the fact that I have a washer and dryer in my unit, but my list of positives pretty much stops there. The reality is that the walls are paper thin, the windows are drafty, and the apartments feel cheaply constructed. I've been woken up countless times by extremely loud neighbors way down the hall, and I've had to endure a most unpleasant domestic violence situation a few doors down (insanely loud screaming and shouting) that has been going on for several months. When I first complained to one of the office staff, they all but assured me that this couple would be out within a couple of weeks. Since then I have complained several times to the office and called the police three times. There is also a loud family further down the other end of my hall who always cooks absolutely rancid smelling food, sometimes with their door open (!!) and I have to hold my breath when I walk down my own hallway. This same family spilled a giant pot of something that looked like chili and the huge stain outside their door remained untouched for about 4 days. They also had a raging party one Sunday evening that lasted until after 4 AM, and I woke up to the sounds of over the top yelling and firefighters marching down the hall to rescue 15 people from that party who were trapped in an elevator designed to hold maybe 7-8 maximum. Then a month later they had anther loud party with 30 plus guests that I had to call the cops on at 1 AM. And I was threatened by the man who lives there and by several guests. Unbelievable. When I contacted the leasing manager about all of this, I got some fake reassurance and company line BS from her. I realize the eviction process is long and is tied up in legal proceedings, but the staff could have been way more genuinely sympathetic and could have maybe offered to compensate me for the stress, anxiety, loss of sleep, and total lack of safety. Gabe, the maintanence man, was pretty unfriendly and condescending, but I will say that Juan is the most helpful, pragmatic and kind person I've dealt with here. Aside from these more egregious incidents, the hallways smell musty, unclean, and like gross cooking that goes way beyond the normal cooking smells one would expect in an apartment building. It seems they rarely if ever vacuum or even do a walk through of the hallways near my apartment. Furthermore, the mail was not getting delivered properly for at least a few weeks, when they had a substitute mailman take over. I was expecting an important legal document and it got returned to sender twice. They have an asinine mail system in which the box number is different than the apartment number, which they claim is "for our safety." I'd rather receive my mail in the proper, timely fashion than worry about someone else knowing where I live when I get my mail. But maybe that's just me. During this period, the management didn't even go so far as to send out a simple email to residents explaining the mail debacle. All we got is a half baked apology after the fact. I would strongly recommend that you look elsewhere in Chelsea, like One North if you can afford it or The Box District. The area around parkside feels kind of sketchy. I don't feel comfortable walking around at night, and there's nowhere appealing to even walk to during the day. The stores and restaurants in the cheap strip mall next to the complex are mostly lackluster and the 7-11/Dunkin Donuts combo down the street is gross. The walkways along the creek behind the complex are strewn with litter and there are sometimes unsavory people in the poor excuse for a park that perhaps inspired the name of the complex. All in all, it's definitely not worth the inflated rents they charge and it's anything but a peaceful, luxurious place to live.

So far so good. It's pretty quiet for a huge complex with families. The hallways can get hot and stuffy and smell funky sometimes. I'm not sure if they run the air in the hallway. The shuttle is awesome and overall it's been uneventful living here. Which is nice

Very courteous and professional. They know all the tenants by name. They always greet me with a smile and pleasant salutation. When I told them that someone was taking my newspaper, which is left at the main enterance, they reviewed the security tapes and rectified the situation. I couldn't ask for better building staff.

Apartment complex is great but only good for temporary time frame. Apartments are decent sizes and garage parking is great. Staff should learn how to be more courteous towards residents. Recommend if your looking for a quick move only.
