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

We have lived at Parkside Place for the past three years and have had an excellent experience!
Key qualities that we have always been satisfied with include:
- The management and staff (David, Penny, and others) are so caring and responsive to our legitimate requests.
- The neighborhood and amenities are accessible.
- The maintenance team is VERY PROMPT in their responses!!!
- The community is so family-friendly, and our baby boy is always greeted with warmth by both the staff and residents.
- The concierge staff (Peter, Haile, Joe) are outstanding, providing attentive, respectful, and excellent service.
I would suggest that rent increases be made a bit more predictable.
Overall, I had a wonderful time living here.
Thank you!
I lived here from January 2020 to November 2022 so I lived here for two years. My experience with the apartment complex was generally good overall in fact it was very good. I lived on the first floor which was very quiet aside from the fire door. I didn't have really have any major complaints and that says something about a building the size of a cruise ship. It was clean, quiet, respectful and diverse. Unfortunately I had to leave because of the construction but if it wasn't for the construction I probably would have been here still in 2024. Out of all the places in Cambridge at any person can live low income or not I would recommend this place hands down. With parks around, the bike path and two major bus lines down the road from the house this is the best place to live in Cambridge.
Lived here for 6 years (2016 - 2022). Best apartment complex in this area. Price/quality was unbeatable at that time!

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.
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...
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.

Parkside Place is a wonderful place to live! We just moved here recently and have had a great experience here! The apartment is new, modern, and up to date, the building has so many cool things to offer, and all the staff are beyond welcoming and friendly! Extra special shoutouts to Penny, Londa, Liz, David, and Hiley!
