50 West Broadway

50 West Broadway is a nice place to live. The apartment building is kept very clean and the staff is very nice.
All maintenance requests are promptly addressed. The administrative staff do take their time on completing their tasks. I have been living there for 2 months and have not received my signed lease, or my name placed in the calling box. For the most part I do not care, but it sucks to have to go downstairs every time I order delivery to open the door instead of buzzing them in. Since I moved the main TV gym is not working because the ladies have not ordered a box to Comcast. Again, they are really nice and very warm it just takes them a while to do the small administrative tasks.
The building has a gym. It is small but has most things needed by a non super gym buff person. It has two treadmills, 3 ellipticals, 1 stationary bike, free weights and a couple of other weight lifting machines along and a few mats. The cardio machines have TV attached to them. The ellipticals are outdated and very clunky.
The common area is nice and very well decorated. it has a full kitchen and a very nice TV, wireless and good siting space.
The apartments are spacious and the kitchens are updated. The appliances work very well. Kitchen has a lot of storage and counter space. Bathroom is spacious but provides almost no storage, Hot water is great! The windows a poorly insulated so you get cold air during the winter.
Overall the apartment unit is great! I love my apartment. The apartment building is very nice. The gym has to be updated. Rent wise, prices are on the high side for what you get. Location is great. It is conveniently located close to the Broadway station in the Red Line.

I’ve lived in 50 West Broadway since 2011 and think it’s an excellent building. The apartments are beautiful (great layout, great finishes). The staff is top notch. Everyone is really friendly and they work hard to keep tenants happy. Maintenance requests are taken care of in a timely manner. The common areas are really nice (the gym, lounge/​party room, courtyard etc). The neighborhood is also terrific. Everything is convenient (shopping, transportation etc). 50 West Broadway is a great place to live.

The pros are the apartments are clean and fairly well maintained. Great big windows, nice kitchens, a comfortable place to live.
It is not though, «green» by most definitions. First, the windows barely open, so one is forced to use some sort of artificial climate control, even on very temperate days. The greenery inside is all plastic, and even outside, there is no outdoor seating or grass (even the outdoor courtyards are concrete). The appliances are fine, but not focused on any sort of green concept etc etc.
The building is very expensive, considering that one is in Southie. Plus parking is extra ($ 250 month, 6 month minimum).
So a nice place to live, but not really what it is billed, and very expensive for the location.
