Junction Shop Lofts

I lived at JSL for+ 2 years. Worcester Board of Health had to intervene in 2 issues I was having: excessive second-hand smoke and pet damage. My apartment was so soaked in pet urine that it took 4 professional cleanings to make it habitable. JSL management dragged their feet; corporate management in RI finally had to intervene and they did so only under the threat of legal action. It was anything but luxury.

P.S. You can hear your neighbors enunciate through the walls. WBC confirmed that they... are largely drywall with no insulation between apartments.

The apartments were beautiful, but, for me, living here was a nightmare. Lee mas

Walls are thin, insulation is terrible and you will be paying a lot for heating and cooling. Also do not trust the elevator to be working, when we moved it we were concerned about living on the second floor and moving furniture. The person assured us they had an elevator and moving in and out would be easy.I am now moving out, the elevator will be down for 3-6weeks with no communication from the office that it was going to be our for this long, just kept being told we are working on... it. I physically went and asked and was told the 3-6weeks. I told them I need to move out and they told me I would need to carry everything down the stairs. I asked if they would be willing to help with a moving company since I can no longer use hand-trucks and carts to move out and they told me no. Horrible experience and waste of money. Stay away!

If you want to risk potentially losing all your possessions in a fire, then you should check this place out…they allow smoking in the apartments so not only is it a fire hazard, but you could get migraines from all the smell. Used condoms and other trash can readily be found in the parking lots, so that’s always lovely to see. They have one trash bin and compactor for the entire complex, so it routinely breaks down, overflows, and people leave trash everywhere but IN it. Avoid like the plague... unless you have no other options. Lee mas

Looks can be deceiving. Many of the units are not as nice as the ones they advertise. There is trash/needles/broken glass from all the frequent break-ins lining the building sidewalks.

Noise levels are obtrusive and insane, well outside of quiet hours, and management does nothing.

They do something to remove bad google reviews. Mine and my roommates reviews don't show up there...and I don't know any of the people who left the 5 star reviews. It might seem normal not to know the neighbors, but... we had fire alarm issues complex-wide that pushed us out into the streets at all odd hours of the day and night for large chunks of time, so actually many of us are now aquatinted. That was another big issues that took months and months and greatly disrupted our lives. Lee mas

Looks are very deceiving. I was lied to about the noise level when I moved in two weeks ago. It is so noisy and there’s “nothing that can be done.” I have never been so disappointed in a place I pay a fortune to live at.
