If you are moving to Western MA, stay away from Southwood Acres Apartments
Please read. I posted a review on ApartmentReviews.com also. This may help someone else, so please share. This place is unsafe. While I am thankful for a roof over my head I think they couldāve provided better considering the cost of the place. Maybe I am just being a brat⦠These small apartments are about $1200 a month btw. This could be triggering.
"If you have low standards, enjoy sleepless nights, death threats, freezing your butt off, and poor hygiene, this is the place for you! I was miserable here. Itās WAY over priced for what the quality is. Shoddy plumbing, incompetent maintence, three of my neighbors have full on mice infestations and the office could care less. They claim it is not an emergency and we should handle it on our own since theyāre ājust field mice.ā Well okay! Oh and one of my neighbors is pregnant⦠I am sure all the vermin and mouse poo in her apartment is super safe for her fetus. She found three mice in her bed while she was trying to sleep⦠And several dead ones inside her walls. She has reported this place to the state. But I was lucky, they only nested in my stove! I didnāt cook on any of the holidays because I didnāt want to smell their charred little bodies and the rat poison they put INSIDE the stove. Heated up rat poison is safe right???
I had a woman from another building threaten to shoot and kill me with her gun for no reason, obviously she has a mental health issuse, she spends most of her day shouting at people from her windowā¦.but a gun is a gun and I reported her to the office and they said āoh she is just joking her gun isnāt even loaded.ā So they are previously aware of her actually owning a gunā¦.
And the heat⦠Itās January and I have the heat on and my living room and it is a toasty forty six degreesā¦.if you have children I sugest you bundle them up and hope for the best.
Allergy sufferers beware! The crumbling walls, constant smell of cigarettes and cheap weed waft into my apartment all day. Add in the creepy black mold on and around all my windows. And the faint scent of urine that fills the hallways. My allergies have been so bad since living hereā¦even my dog is on allergy medicine.
Oh letās not forget the āfitness centerā which is a dark musty room with broken equipment that seems to be from the seventies. And nothing to clean the āvintageā machines after use. And the laundry facilities, I went once and I found a creep smelling other peopleās underwear. Awesome. I decided to rent my own machines after that. I didnāt feel safe around that guy, who also enjoyed watching TV in the āfitness centerā until early in the morning. If youāre a female, and he still lives here, he WILL bother you, follow you, and ask to come inside your apartment.
If these apartments are in such poor condition and start at $1100 a month, WHAT are they doing with our money?
If you can, live somewhere else. I know they are the only pet friendly place around here, you can especially tell with all the dog poo all over the grounds. Stay away!ā
