Reviews from the web

Showing 8 highest rated

9/21/2020 update: We've lived in AVA Back Bay for over 3 years now and are so happy with our experience. The maintenance team is exemplary -- both responsive and attentive (especially during COVID times). I'd like to recognize Leo, Hugo, Jonathan, and Pete who have all gone above and beyond to help us during our time living in this great community! I recently moved to AVA and the leasing, maintenance, and building staff have made my transition to the new apartment so seamless. Sarah, the community consultant, has been incredibly helpful and responsive when it comes to answering each of my questions.

Highly recommend! After thoroughly researching and visiting high rise buildings in Back Bay and South End, we decided to move into AVA Back Bay and couldn’t be happier with our decision. As numerous other reviews have highlighted, Sarah was superb—warm, patient and highly effective. She maintained communication with us before, during and after the move. The building itself is well-maintained, well-staffed and comes with many conveniences/unique perks given its central location. We are loving our bright, spacious, newly renovated apartment and hope to stay for several years.
