Ansaldi’s Villager Apartments

I lived here for three years while I was in grad school and working in Hartford. Some definite pluses and minuses about these apartments:
Pros:
— The apartments themselves and roomy and pretty nice. I lived in a 2bd, 1.5ba end unit. It had a working fireplace and tons of closet space.
— The neighbors are mostly families, with some young professionals and older folks sprinkled in. All friendly, quiet people.
— Great location. Very convenient to Hartford, UConn, and the highways. Tucked away from the main streets.
— Dedicated parking spots and plenty of guest parking on the street.
Cons:
— They don’t really put a lot of time/​effort into maintaining the units. If you have a problem, they’ll fix it. But if you want anything cosmetic done… good luck. Some of the units are pretty retro with fake brick linoleum floor in the kitchen and green yellow bathroom tile. It’s definitely not chic and modern.
— The property manager never answers her phone. Like ever. (At least when I lived there a few years ago). It was almost comical how many times I would have to call her.
— When I lived there at least, there was no way to pay bills. renew your lease, or request maintenance online. Everything had to be done via snail mail. Pretty archaic.
Overall, I enjoyed living here and would recommend it to people looking for a townhouse near Hartford.
