Living at Princeton Place has been great so far. The apartment complex is very neat and clean. The maintenance team does a great job when it comes to any repair in the apartment. The leasing office staff is very friendly and helpful. There is a fitness centre inside the complex which is decently equipped. Overall, I enjoy my stay here at Princeton and would love to continue my lease.

Living at Princeton Place Apartments has been wonderful. We love how attentive they are to the buildings inside and out and the cleanliness of the entire complex as a whole. The clubhouse just got renovated and the fitness room is currently being repainted. They plan fun events for the residents to join and it really shows they care about you.

Great place to start your stay in Worcester. . This is my sixth month in Princeton place Apartments, so far so good. I will list out couple of important things which I feel is worth saying about. . Location :- it’s a good place to stay if you’re working in UMass memorial , 12 mins walk. 3-4 min drive to union station. . Moving from abroad :- So if you are coming from abroad and wanting to start living in an apartment without the drama of physical tour, this place is recommended. It makes life so much more easier. most apartments around Worcester require you to come and take physical tour. We were able to see the apartment size and dimensions and sign up for the lease online. Which made life much more easier. Shaniya and Meghan made it easier. Thank you. ❣️ Maintenance :- A big shout out to the maintenance guys they are fast and responsive and get the job done. 👏. We had few issue moving, everything got resolved immediately. . We lease two bedroom apartment with one bathroom. Which is decent enough in space. All the appliances are in complete working condition. They make sure that you can report any complaint within the first 15 days if anything is wrong and document it. . Outside amenities:- They have a two slot tennis/ pickle ball court , A small gym and a small swimming pool. Also there is a small outdoor kids playing area. . In the summer and the spring the landscaping is done quite frequently I think almost every week. So it looks very good. in the winter the snow gets removed , promptly and the walkways are salted. . Parking there is ample amount of parking. . Social activities:- The management staff have some Occasions every 2 to 3 months for get together activities and residents meeting each other gatherings etc. which is deserving a applause. . Few cons- The carpet in the apartment is cream colored, it gets dirty fast. Worcester is a rainy and snowy city. And if you have a small child it gets very difficult to keep it clean. There is no light fixtures in the living room and in the bedrooms. I find that very strange. So after you move in you are pretty much in the dark until you buy some lamp. 😄 . I will be definitely adding my latter experience when my lease expires, but overall it’s a great place to start.
