Vox on Two Apartments

I lived at Vox on Two for five years, and overall it was a pleasant experience.

The surrounding area is generally nice, uncrowded, and near transportation. Many of the units have balconies overlooking a patch of trees and you can hear the birds in the courtyards.

The units themselves are decent - they are showing some wear like scratches in the cabinets, corners of vinyl flooring beginning to peel, or cracked fridge drawers. That said, maintenance does come quickly if something essential... is broken. I wouldn't call it luxury, but definitely modern and more professionally maintained than many apartments in the Boston area.

The amenities are nice to have but perhaps slightly outdated compared to the neighboring buildings. I wished they maintained the gym better as they were very slow to fix broken equipment (especially unfortunate when it was one of the treadmills which are popular at peak hours). As for the pool area, if you are an adult looking forward to unwinding in the hot tub after work on summer evenings, it's not worth it - they used to keep it nicely hot but in recent years it had been below body temperature and just felt kind of cold and clammy. I'm not sure if the heater broke or this was an attempt to make it safe for peoples unmitigated 6 year olds to stay in there indefinitely.

I also think they've made a consumer unfriendly change regarding lease terms. One might notice that they adjust the lease lengths such that all leases turn over in the spring/summer when apartments are most expensive (I've seen up to $1000/month rent difference on the same unit in winter vs summer). Even if you initially rent in the winter when your lease renews in the summer, they will get you up to that higher summer "market value." It just feels like another money grab.

Overall, it could have been way worse, but it also could have been better. Read More

For anyone searching for a nice place to live, it's very unlikely that that person would enjoy a better experience than that which is always given by the people in the front office here.

1.The buzzer doesn't work and hasn't worked since before i moved
2.Access to the back of the property should be granted if you are too cheap to provide all residents with fobs to enter as they please (we currently have to wait for someone to move out and return their keys in order to gain one).
3.Carpeting is just gross and old, plus is full of pet hair.
4.Handicap people only get one free spot out of the 6 visitor parking spaces when this property has over 100 units. if you need parking you... must pay for it inside the garage but you better hurry up and request a parking pass before 5pm.
5.The only person that's nice is Felipe at front desk and the maintenance crew, everyone else hates their job (idk why they picked this customer service job) including the property manager. Read More
