A Dream Turned Nightmare From: PatsFan25 2/14/2008

When I first looked at Avalon Danvers I fell in love with the property. The old hospital's architecture is breathtaking and the surrounding area is beautiful. And at the time the management seemed so friendly and accommodating. Boy did things ever change once they knew they had my money on a monthly basis. It seemed that the lease not only guaranteed me a spot in this "dream complex" of mine, it also gave management the go a head to treat me like dirt.

The 10/15ish mile commute that is supposed to be so accommodating, actually means that you should be prepared to sit for more than an hour on Rte 1, 93 or 95/128 trying to make it into the city. And the "quiet complex" that the management so graciously sold me on, has turned out to be exactly the opposite. When the wind blows (which is pretty much all the time because of the hill the complex is on) the windows sound like they are going to fall right out of the seals they are sitting in. When the people above me are walking it sounds like they are running. You can hear every step. Not only that, but if people next to you are going about daily routines, my walls shake. Many times I have come home and found my pictures to be crooked from the vibrations.

When it snows... plan for an extra hour to dig your car out from the snow that gets plowed right toward the cars, and not the grass on the other side of the road. And don't plan on sleeping, because the complex feels it is necessary to clear the sidewalks next to the windows at 1:45AM.

Speaking of snow, one of the other features that sold me on the unit was the in building trash shoot and the convince of not having to leave the building if it is snowing out. Too bad management failed to mention it is OUT OF ORDER over 75% of the time I go to use it.

Still considering moving into this "gem"' Keep a keen eye on the properties website before you sit down and lock yourself into a lease. I've seen their free rent offer extended at least twice, and now it's up to 2 1/2 months. Maybe that's because they are STILL having trouble filling units. Understandable considering this was an old state insane asylum. Google "Danvers State Hospital" for more info.

I guess what I want to say, is don't let the exterior fool you. Just because it looks nice from the outside doesn't mean that you'll necessarily will like what you find. I myself am counting down the days until I can move out.
