517 Hancock Street Apartments

Super low ceilings (low enough to touch!) with ZERO soundproofing. Constant stomping, tons of noise from Hancock St traffic and the T, plus loud residents in the building next door. People are constantly moving in & out, which is a huge red flag tbh

This has been the worst apartment I've lived in due to poor construction and constant noise. The creaky wooden floors make every single footstep from the upstairs unit audible (you'll need earplugs if you want to sleep in). You can also hear the T constantly from the drafty windows, the toddler in the building screaming daily, and VERY loud construction basically whenever someone moves out (which tbh is very often). Think twice before renting here!!!

Hands-down the WORST apartment I've lived in, especially in terms of noise - you can hear EVERYTHING. Floors are wooden, creaky, and old, so you can hear every. single. footstep. from whoever's upstairs. Forget about going to bed early or sleeping in unless you wear earplugs every night. Did I mention the constant noise from the T coming in from the very drafty windows? The toddler that has screaming meltdowns every day, and the mom that yells back? Or the entire month where they were doing loud construction six days a week? Seriously, think twice before renting here.

There is always puddle of water in front of my parking. In winter is icy

I lived for 8 months now. No big problems. Feel pretty good so far. The maintenance has been responsible. The location and access to all kinds of restaurant and groceries is a big plus.
