Avalon at Lexington Hills

Watch out when you move out, they will charge the additional cleaning service fee on your deposit no matter how clean you think

My fiancée and I moved here last week and so far everything has been great. The staff is extremely welcoming and helpful, maintenance seems quick to fix any issues, the shuttle runs efficiently to get you to and from Alewife, and the location in the woodland reservations is great for getting outside for activity. We are on the top floor of the brick building, so no possibility of noise from above, but we do have neighbors on the sides and haven’t heard them in the first few days. Being able to have a pet and the direct shuttle to the city are huge pluses.

Management is great. Building is well maintained and in a great location. They have ample amenities and the staff is very friendly. You will feel very safe here as everyone is very very friendly.
So why the low rating? The construction of the building itself. It is HORRIBLE. Walls and floors are ultra thin. We have a herd of elephants above us that get so noisy that I occasionally am force to use a broom handle and smack the ceiling. Horrible. You will get little to no sleep.
IF you must still entertain this complex, by all means, get the TOP floor. At least if the people below you are obnoxious, you can have payback by being ‘the elephants’ yourself!

We have lived in one of the brick hospital buildings with solid concrete floors since April 7, 2015 and LOVE it. It is like living in a lovely wooded oasis in the middle of a forest. The apartment is absolutely silent. It is also spacious and very comfortable. Our top floor unit has vaulted ceilings that give it a feeling of expansive comfort.
We also love sitting on our balcony enjoying wine and snacks as the evening sets in as well as our Saturday and Sunday morning coffee.
The kitchen is modern with a great gas stove for making it easy to prepare interesting dishes and there is plenty of storage. The nook next to the kitchen is a perfect place for a Pottery Barn wine bar!
The location is simply spoiling us. When we lived in MN, driving 6 to 10 miles to shop was a ‘short’ drive. At Avalon, we are only 2 to 3 miles from every kind of shopping anyone could want.
We have had a couple of maintenance issues and, each time, the service was prompt, friendly and well done.
The office is staff is always friendly, responsive and we get notified right away when our Amazon shipments arrive.
The Verizon FiOS connection is perfect for my home office in the spacious second bedroom.
We love it here.
