I have lived here since 2 yrs and there are some pros and cons to it. Pros: –its convenient to many places — T bus and train, grocery stores, pharmacy stores, library etc. –rent includes heat & hot water. –amenities include gym, tennis court, swimming pool etc. –they do a decent job in winters to cleanup snow. –spacious room size with nice patio. –cooperative management, specially Keith(prop manager) is a great guy to talk to and listens /addresses to any specific concerns. –leasing office accepts packages when not at home. Cons: –outdated furniture in some apts. –car tier theft once in 1 – 2 yrs. –pests like house mice seen sometimes in the house. I gave it more stars coz there are more positives than negatives.

Faxon Common is NOT a luxury apartment that they claim it is. The buildings are old, corridors are smelly, washing and drying units are primitive and apartments have pest issues. The management is the worst I’ve ever dealt with. Completely inconsiderate and just concerned about sucking money out of you with their imaginary rules and policies. If you have to relocate for work, they will not let you vacate the apartment but will charge 2 months of hefty rent as penalty despite you finding a tenant who is willing to take over the lease or sign a new lease from scratch. Even when your lease expires you HAVETO give them two months advance notice or they will not let you vacate the apartment and hold you liable for rent. They refuse to understand that if the tenant intended to stay longer he/she would have signed a longer term lease or would have informed the leasing office about extension. They always have a my way or high way approach and are completely inconsiderate to tenants’ circumstances. I had my worst nightmare trying to deal with their management office personnel. If there was a negative rating contest Faxon commons would be the undisputed winner. Stay away at any cost.

I have lived in Faxon Commons for almost 2 years and never liked it. The only reason I stayed here this long is because my office is located right in Quincy center. The units are not that spacious, are over priced with outdated layout and design and poor fixtures. Two bed room apartment has only one bed room equipped with the noisy«A/C» and other don’t. The only reason people still want to live here coz its very near to grocery stores and two bus stops at a walk able distance from the apartment. Now coming to the worst part, this place is not at all safe for someone who owns a car. My car got vandalized twice in 6 months in the apartment parking lot. Glass broken and air bag was stolen also some damage to the seats. Same night another car also got broken into and the air bag was stolen. We went together to complain and the staff assured us that they will take appropriate action but never got any response. Later in the week someones car all four wheels were stolen during the day and some other day a civic’s entire front bumper was gone and so on and so forth. These kind of incidents have been happening for a long time but I experienced it only after I bought a car. The Quincy Police is also not really helpful coz there is nothing much they can do and suggested us to complain to the apartment management and have them install cameras. When you request the apartment to install cameras or add some security they say its need to be approved by some higher management and suggested us to buy car insurance. I am not sure if they are really that ignorant or lack proper human resource skills. I moved out right away after hearing that from the Smart staff. Bottom line, I Highly DONOT recommend this apartment to anyone who owns a car. Lease at your own RISK. Pros: Near to public transport, grocery stores, appears good from outside Cons: No security, not gated community, anyone can tress pass and vandalize your car, small units, noisy A/C, noisy neighbors, outdated interior, no dryer/washer in each unit, useless management.

This place is totally against the white man. The tenant above me has a kid that has been POUNDING the floor for almost 1800 days. Faxon mgmt does NOTHING about it. Faxon mgmt refuses to move me to another apt. I cannot move out of here because of monetary restrictions of the section 8 rental voucher program.
