Great community with a premier location and amazing staff. The buildings recent renovations mean that it compares favorably with all the new construction already in place in Seaport.

The apartment is absolutely gorgeous, but had a couple of hiccups that needed to be fixed within the bathroom. Thankfully the maintenance requests were blazing fast and super effective. Aside from that, everyone who works in the building is extremely...

The leasing team has been amazing during the move in experience. They were able to assist with all the questions we had and did so in a professional and timely manner. Additionally, due to COVID we did a virtual tour of the apartment and the leasing ...

Calvin W.

Great views and amenities thus far! I have had a pleasant experience in my time here and have already successfully referred my friend, Peter Clark, into signing a lease with the building. I will keep referring people in the future

Jennifer M.

The staff have all been very friendly throughout our move in. Not only is the unit spacious with sunny windows, it is in great location with lots of food and shopping options to choose from.

Elise Z.

I love how friendly and accommodating the staff have been during our move in process. The location is great and I'm excited for the amenities once they open.

Abigail G.

Love the apartment and building! My husband and I can’t wait for the state guidelines to lift so we can enjoy the new Sky Club. The construction noise in the building was quite bad for a period, but thankfully it’s gotten much better.

Trusha P.

Really friendly throughout whole process of signing my lease and getting everything set up/answering all my questions about moving in process.

Sumer K.

The team at Devonshire is polite, great and super helpful. They are super thoughtful and ensure they are taking all the necessary steps to keep the building clean and COVID safe

Bassem A.

The building is located in a great location and keeps residents updated with regard to construction going on in the building. Still waiting on the finish for the sky club, gym, and pool though.

Michael L.

Hahahah love Devonshire, good times and people and location and everything. Love this place, love rewards. It is the best to give. Boston Red Sox Celtics Bruins Patriots are the teams nam saying

Emily W.

Building very well kept, staff very friendly, and the location is fantastic. Generally, a very good job on COVID-19 related precautions. Gym delay is frustrating.

Joy J.

Excellent resident experience with Devonshire. Attentive and welcoming staff, helpful concierge and utilities service, and overall great amenities that really brighten my day.

Kevin M.

The apartment is awesome. The construction noise less so. The people are nice, but listening to buzz saws all day while working from home is unpleasant. I miss the days when Devonshire was quiet.

The Luxury Apartment Devonshire has recently took a new big hit by losing its top two highest management personnel by the end of November 2020. The oversights are gone. Residents should be prepared for the worse egotistical team of management — not...

Due to renovations we moved from the 17th floor to an apartment on the 24th floor and we loved it! Aside from the move itself being fairly seamless, the unit had better city views and very nice hardwood floors (which we prefer instead of carpets)!

Susanna Y.

Kudos to the Devonshire team for doing a great job! Everything from package receiving to food takeout handling to grocery deliveries were dealt with the same professionalism as pre-COVID times. Leasing office staff was helpful as always too. Great jo...

Emma G.

The staff is absolutely wonderful! They are always so friendly and kind. The neighborhood is great for accessing different parts of the city as well.

Victor K.

Level of noise, high rent despite current conditions and negative attitude of one mid management member is unbearable. Of course nothing can ever be perfect for all, however this place can get close to being perfect. R

Staff are very friendly. Good and convenient neighborhood. Construction noise sometimes can get excessive but has improved a lot more lately.

Great communication from management about what’s going on at the property, fun events for residents are frequently scheduled, and consistently friendly staff. This has been a great place to love.

Monica G.

Devonshire offers very nice and comfortable apartments, as well as nice and clean amenities. The building has a very friendly and helpful staff.

Ieva P.

After moving to Boston and having a terrible experience with my past landlord l was very glad to find Devonshire. My move in was smooth with the help of the leasing department and staff. So far no complaints!

Florence Yuk-Wei L.

The staff at the leasing office, concierge and building maintenance are all very friendly and helpful. They have all been very responsive. Great work!

Kaitlin S.

Concierge team and maintenance team are amazing. They are super friendly and helpful and take all the proper COVID precautions. What a nice team!

Leah M.

Incredibly disappointed and dissatisfied with the construction. Our rent is so high (when the Boston’s rental market is plummeting by $500-$1000/month) and our rent is supposedly so high to pay for our community amenities that residents have not ha...

Bassem A.

You can't beat the location in downtown Boston. Next to a ton of good restaurants and outdoor locations. The building's community also is pretty active.

Karen F.

I appreciate the outstanding efforts to keep the community and staff safe during the pandemic. Michelle's efforts to keep everyone's spirits high has been an added bonus.

Jayaraman T.

It was great to be a part of Devonshire community! Excellent location in Boston downtown, great amenities and friendly staffs are the major recommendation points.

We appreciate the efforts the team is going through as we live in this new normal! They have made the extra effort to keep us safe and have added in some fun!

Michelle F.

The staff here are very friendly and they work hard to host fun events and help out the residents. There are a lot of constructions going on in the building, sometimes making the work-from-home experience difficult.

Kaitlin S.

the best part of living here is the great door staff and maintenance staff! they are so attentive and friendly. i think the building is lacking amenities and rent is too high

Jayaraman T.

One of the best place to stay in Boston Downtown and community is great! View from the sky club is amazing and there is a Swimming pool and fitness center.

Zachary N.

Everything's been great, but recently there has been construction in neighboring apartments that has not been scheduled. OK with warning, but it puts a sour taste in my mouth when it's unexpected.

We've been happy here. Lots of families and close to other things even though the immediate neighborhood can be a little dicey. Will be very nice once the pool is open again

Nicola S.

Nice place to live. The amenities are limited and the noise from construction is not great but those will eventually be fixed in the future if you are willing to wait.

Bethany G.

The staff of this building has been so accommodating and helpful, not just during this crisis but always. I feel safe and secure in this building and have been thrilled moving into a renovated unit. The views are spectacular. Thank you

We have been living here for about 2.5 years and have had only positive experiences with staff and neighbors. Thanks to the new management (John's team), our requests are dealt with promptly and a lot of consideration is paid to our unique circumstan...

I love it here. The new lobby, apartments and health club are beautifully and expensively done. The staff is great and the new leasing center made renting a place here as easy as could be. I'm originally from L.A. and being able to walk to restaurant...

Today is my last day here at Devonshire as I am moving to D.C. But living here was great. I had maid service, worked out at Sky Club and had doormen take care of my every need. I wanted to share my positive experience with everyone so that maybe you ...

I lived here for two years and was asked for a large double digit increase in the third year. There was no scope for negotiation. Management are spending a lot on upgrading the building and are looking to recoup this through inflated rents. Noise ...

The review dated 3/8/03 is spot on. Management sought an 18% increase in 3rd year rent. Financially, the proposal was laughable. It was significantly above-market, and grossly out of line with what newer tenants pay. The building's amenities do...

First the bad stuff. The rental office has a no-negotiation policy, so just know that before you sign a lease. My rent increased 4% from last year. Also various apartments are under renovation, leading to loud construction noises midday. I only found...

My biggest complaint of a list of many: The rental office is arrogant and needs to educate themselves in basic principals of business. By 2003, long-time tenants found themselves paying significantly more than new tenants-although new tenants had new...

- Daytime construction/renovation noise is infuriatingly loud and disruptive, making it unbearable to physically reside within 10 floors of the construction while it is occurring. - Management provides no information regarding the construction sch...

I have lived at The Devonshire for over three years and I deem it to be genuinely excellent. My unit was refurbished this year with little inconvenience to me and completed well ahead of the agreed deadline. There is little or no extraneous noise and...

Building management is performing a long renovation program. There is plenty of loud jackhammering, now that workers are on to the phase of demolishing floor tile in each unit with what sounds like a giant drilling machine. No notice is given to t...

I have lived at the Devonshire one year. In response to the previous comment about outdated appliances, I believe anyone moving in now gets a renovated apartment, it has VERY modern appliances now. Also, you get more space for the money than you woul...

I lived at the Devonshire for longer than the previous reviewer. For the first two years of my tenancy, living at the Devonshire was indeed bliss. What the previous reviewer is about to find out, however, is that by the 3rd or 4th year, rent will ris...

I’ve lived here for 2 years and will most likely stay for a third. It’s a perfect location for anyone who works in the financial district. The maintenance crew fixes things very quickly. It usually takes them only a few hours to address the probl...

I lived at the Devonshire for one year. I´ve lived in other Boston luxury buildings (Longfellow Place, Greenhouse, Whittier Place) so I am familiar with this "style" of living. The Devonshire is located in downtown Boston - a few blocks from Fane...
