THE WOOLEN MILL ASSOCIATES Apartments

The woolen mill is the worst place I've ever lived, Out of the first 3 months I lived here i spent 2 of them without a working oven due to their maintenance being "understaffed". When I first moved in i made them aware that i work nights and am sleeping on Monday and Tuesday during the day until 3:00pm but this information i gave them and keep giving them because they keep scheduling all of their maintenance upkeep during the times i will be asleep and now that i notified them I'm leaving at the... end of my lease then have scheduled multiple apartment showings with only giving me 24 hours notice witch is breaking he lease i signed and have scheduled another 2 showings on Monday during the time i will be sleeping, and when this was brought to there attention they told me "I'm sorry we have to accommodate other people's schedule".

Cannot recommend this place. Very overpriced. You are paying strictly for location and reliable parking. If that is worth it to you, so is this. We had a drunken neighbor threaten us, and nothing was done. We received one email asking a question about it. Our ceiling has leaked more than 5 times, and we are on the bottom floor. The first three times, we had to call over five times to remind them it was still happening. The final time, they lied to us about checking it out and never came. We... told them we would be out all day but were home the entire time. We did our job as tenants by paying our rent on time, keeping it clean, not having any loud complaints, and by not contributing to the constant weed smell in our hallway. That didn't stop them from harassing us about it after we told them we would not be renewing our lease.
The apartments are beautiful at first glance. Eventually you begin to notice entire unpainted sections, cracks in the wall and random nails in the walls and ceiling. There is no lighting to speak of, aside from a poorly positioned kitchen light and one for the bathroom. The electric wiring makes no sense, with some switches being a good distance away.
The staff also has no problem entering your house without proper notice. One time we awoke to hear someone leaving our apartment. Another time, I found the door had not been closed all the way after a package was dropped off.
As someone who works full time and fulfills their job as a tenant, I do not expect to be treated like a college student. I do not expect to feel unsafe where I live.

Love the high ceilings though. Major ups. Read More

I love living at the woolen mill. As a Vermont resident for the last seventeen years I have lived in many different places, and I enjoy this one the most. It is a short walk from both my campus and my job. That and it is right next to the winooski river, allows cats, and has many amenities. I would like to live here longer but it is very expensive.

The building is beautiful and located right on a river with several walking paths. In addition, it is close to restaurants, the bank, post office, a bus stop, and City Hall which is very convenient. The management is very friendly and helpful; so are the maintenance staff which are available often to fix any problem that might occur or even to just change the light bulb. It is also the only apartment complex in the Burlington/ Winooski area with a gym, racquetball court, pool, barbecue and... picnic area. It is simply a great place to live with a lot to love!

The Woolen Mill is a historical building dating back to around Abe Lincoln's time. Property management is friendly although it's a bit on the expensive side. The units are large with up to 15 foot ceilings.
Electric heat is one drawback. There's plenty of local restaurants within walking distance. Indoor pool is great as it allows for swimming year round, nice during a blizzard! There's a raquetball court as well as outdoor BBQ pits. The Winooski Police Department and City Hall is only a... block or two away. For the adventurous, Quebec is 30 minutes away and Montreal about 90 minutes. Read More
