ReNew Waltham Apartments

I've been living in this complex for years now. The bathroom always has mold because there is no heat. Roaches and mice are everywhere. The appliances have been there for years. Some of them don't work and they don't want to change them. But, the biggest issue is parking. People come from other places park their cars anytime they want. It's not fair for people who pay for parking permit but still can't find parking spot after a long day of work, because a bunch of people park without sticker... or expired stickers. Some of them don't even live there. How come an apartment has more than one car, yet all of them manage to park in the parking lot despite the one sticker per apartment rule. The rule must be apply to everyone, not some. Read More

I've been living in this complex for almost 6 years. There's no heat in the bathroom and it causes a lot of mold. I had to buy a small heater. Maintenance is good. But my biggest problem is parking. I've been bringing up my grievances for years about it. Now with Renew, nothing has really changed. I know the new manager is trying her best, but it's not fair for people who pay for parking permit but still can't find parking spot after a long day of work, because a bunch of people park... without sticker or expired sticker. People who don't even leave there. And it's frustrating. Garden lane area is the worst. How come an apartment has 2-3 cars, yet all of them manage to park in the parking lot despite the one sticker per aparentmenr rule. The rules must be appIy to everyone, not some. I hope the new management will be able to fix this issue. Read More

I moved into Re-New Waltham last Monday. So far so good. The staff, especially Joseph was so helpful and patient with me and all my questions and hoops he had to jump through for housing. The apartment is so nice, neighbors are friendly, and the staff is helpful.

Longtime resident of this property - more than 10 years. I've lived both in the regular apartments and in a townhouse.

Some thoughts:
* Location is amazing! Near bus stops, MBTA, rail trail, self-storage, highways, downtown
* It's expensive and rents never stop increasing BUT you get a lot for the money (square footage, amenities)
* Dogs/cats allowed! This is awesome
* Staff speaks both english and spanish
* Some long-term maintenance concerns (older buildings/windows/bathrooms, some appliance... issues like laundry machines) but staff is helpful especially for small problems
* New ownership brought a really great resident portal
* Decent parking. Guest parking allowed but costs extra
* Relatively new swimming pool you can use with a pass
* Fitness center is small and doesn't have a lot of equipment but it's more convenient than a gym
* Outdoor lighting is generally good at night. Grounds are mostly clean and maintained
* Occasional pest issues, but they're addressed quickly Read More

I LIKE STAYING IN RENEW WALTHAM BECAUSE IT'S A FAMILY COMPLEX AND IT'S SAFE
RENEW WALTHAM IS GOING TO FIX THE PROPERTY THE WAY IT SUPPOSED TO BE
I LIKE THE NEW MANAGER BECAUSE SHE'S VERY STRICT
MY DREAM IS TO CONTINUE STAYING IN RENEW WALTHAM.
THANK YOU.
