Parkside Place

Great place to live! I've been searching for a high end building with reasonable price for quite some time and I'm glad to find this building with great management and amenities. The management team is very responsible and easy to work with, the concierge team is extremely friendly! All utilities included, 2 gyms which is a huge huge plus for me, and the view facing the pond is impeccable! The price for my apartment is very reasonable, especially you don't have to pay any utilities. Cons: Since this is not a brand new building, I do have a few maintenance requests, but the maintenance team is very responsive and took care of those issues in time. The clubroom is a little bit out dated, and I would appreciate if there are more mini work stations/small meeting rooms, because a lot of people are working from home right now.

We were very fortunate to find Parkside Place and to live there for two years before moving back to our country at the end of July. The building is a very well-run, well-maintained place in a part of town with beautiful views. We appreciated the tranquility of being distant enough from a bustling city, while having the ease of accessibility to Greater Boston through the 75 bus which stops right at the building, blue bikes and even, when we had time to spare, an enjoyable 35-minute walk to Harvard Square. You will appreciate having parks all around, whether to jog/exercise or keep your children entertained. And Fresh Pond is a major attraction at all times of the year. Major grocery store chains are all a reasonably short walk from the building, and specialty stores especially Armenian and Middle Eastern are also nearby. There are also good places to eat on Belmont St, Mt. Auburn and Huron Ave where the building is located. The apartments have excellent facilities: very well-heated in the winter and you can control the temperature in the apartment yourself, and nice and cool with the AC during the summer. The kitchen is equipped with ample fridge space, a state of the art oven/stove and microwave, a dishwasher, with plenty of cupboards for storing non-perishables. Closet space is another great feature of Parkside apartments, as you'll get several walk-in closets. Everything is in excellent shape, but in case you need repairs, the maintenance crew is definitely one of the most responsive and efficient around. And speaking of facilities/maintenance, another Parkside perk is having laundry as part of the rent. The Club Room is another great feature with the free coffee on offer, a high-quality billiard table, comfy work spaces and other great features. My wife and I would take our girls there very often when the weather outside was an obstacle, or when we didn't feel we had enough energy for a real outing. The backyard holds a special place in our hearts, because management very kindly allowed us to have a small party for our girls' first birthday there. The backyard is great for entertaining the kids, barbequing, or just to enjoy the greenery. But speaking of management, I would have to say that for all the many wonderful things one can say about the building, it's the people at Parkside who ultimately made our stay so special. David and Hannie at management are both friendly, forthright and very easy to communicate with, no matter how big or small our issue was. They made us feel at home, and our family's gratitude to them is greater than I can express. The concierges are all wonderful; it was great to have them around to ask all sorts of questions, and of course to pick up packages, but the warmth and friendliness of our conversations with Peter, Haile, John et al really made a big difference. The maintenance and cleaning crews are just as warm, friendly and efficient too. And finally the community itself: we enjoyed interacting with so many great neighbors that it is impossible to even make an adequate list. Once you get to know people at Parkside, the community feel of the building becomes very clear and familiar. Although our life in Cambridge was ultimately just a stepping stone to a future spent somewhere else, we consider our time spent in Parkside one filled with wonderful memories and bonds that will endure for a long time.

Beautiful view. Friendly manager and staff. Perfect size living room and bedroom. Utilities included is a plus and location is close to downtown Boston and many attractions.

Awesome Place to LIVE Inn. Located on the side of a beautiful pond which is easily viewable from the front window of this building. Proper cleanliness and security is maintained. Gym facility is also available on the ground floor. There are total 20 floor in this building. Nearby Tennis Court, Golf Corse, Basketball Court and Football count is there...

The experience with Parkside Place was more than wonderful. I am very grateful to you and very happy when I was living in Parkside Place. The staff were extremely helpful and eager to provide the utmost in luxury. I would not hesitate if there was a chance to live there again. Thank you so much.

A very well managed apartment Across the street, there is Fresh Pond Reservation area, where we walk almost everyday.

I would like to shoot a nice review to Hannie Khalil according to my experience at Parkside place .

Always if there’s any issue Hannie, standing up to resolve it right away!. I would like to recommend any one looking for a place to call home …Parkside place is the best place to be !!.

I have been living in this building for a few years now. Over time we faced different minor issues, but overall the staff and management were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, everything has changed since the new manager David K. started working here. We are facing A LOT of issues, and he is not taking residents' complaints seriously. He is very disrespectful to the tenants. One of the biggest problems of this building is the elevator. In the past, the elevator was not working once in a while. But recently, 2 out of the 3 elevators is out of service almost for half of every week. I had to wait for the elevator for 30 minutes several times recently. I had to take bags of groceries to the 12th floor using the stairs several times recently. Unfortunately, the seniors and families with small children and strollers have to use stairs to get to the lobby. Unfortunately, the manager does not take the complaints seriously to fix the elevators. I definitely do not recommend this place to anyone.
