Apartment Review from a Current Renter
Completely dissatisfied in the manner a major issue was handled. Love the apt and the community but would never recommend a friend/family here for the chance they have to go through a similar experience. There are too many other great places in Boston to rent at that I would hope would handle the situation a lot better.

The community did not have a pool and parking was very expensive. There were dog feces stains just outside the front door in which a resident was complaining about and viewing on camera with a leasing agent. The apartments were very impressive and I liked the kitchen island as well as the quartz counter tops.

Thin floors and ceilings are unpleasant considering the price.

For the price, I would have expected more mature/less messy neighbors. I would like to emphasize that they are not all bad. Many are wonderful. I'm not even sure who exactly is causing the messes, but it has become quite an issue.
I'm a current resident at West Square and echo your concerns. I'm fortunate that my neighbors on both sides and across are quiet, so all I usually hear are people talking in the hallway when walking by. Â However, I must say the NYE shenanigans & this past Saturday (May 2nd - Kentucky Derby, Mayweather/Pacquiao fight) was pretty nuts too. Â I got home around 10:30pm and there were several 20-something bros outside the front door trying to get in, claiming they "knew" someone who lived in the building. Â Meanwhile, in the lobby and lounge area, there were multiple groups of drunk 20-somethings congregated and being, um, sloppy. Â As I walked thru the hallway to the elevator, I got overrun by another large and very loud group of drunk 20-somethings still dressed in Derby party attire. Â Thankfully everything was quiet once I got to my apartment, but getting there felt like I was walking thru the lobby at one of the resorts on the Vegas Strip.
I renewed my lease but am less certain I'll do so the next time around. Â It's unfortunate b/c I loved the building when I first moved in. Â I still love my apartment itself and the location, but am growing a bit weary of the antics of some of our fellow residents (and their guests).

The apartments were new and spacious. The amenities were excellent.

Maybe with this caveat: The noisiest place you will ever live. Trash issues. Unruly tenants. An odd amount of tenants with disregard to community needs, rules, and politeness. Nice gym though, parking is fine, and the unit is nice.

I would definitely recommend West Square to professional couples and empty nesters seeking an upscale, modern apartment community in a central location.

At this point there are similar and or larger units with similar amenities for lower cost.

The community has a very sleek and stylish design that should appeal to many young, upscale professionals. The apartments are spacious and afford the modern conveniences. The interior design is an attractive mixture of contemporary styles.

The community is very attractive. I loved the layout of the apartment home and the features the home offered.

I have referred friends, the apts, amenities and proximity to downtown are all pluses...

Overall, it's a great builing to live in. The gym is great. The starbucks coffee is a nice touch. Love that you can park on the floor you live.

Too expensive for what it is.

I felt that this was a very luxurious property, and that the apartments themselves offered excellent finishes and large rooms. I especially liked the fact that I would be able to park on the same level as my apartment. However, I thought the amenity package was ordinary, given the special quality of the rest of the property. The views immediately adjacent to the apartments that I looked at were not attractive, and consisted of low quality industrial sites. The more distant views of the waterfront and downtown were much better. I thought the prices were commensurate with with overall package that was being offered. The higher prices, which were mentioned to me seemed outrageously high. I did like the property and would be happy living there.
