Update: lived here for over 2 years. Great location and pretty apartments, though the rent increases were too much. Also had an issue with a neighbor smoking inside the unit below us. Scott is still my favorite part of Cambridge Park!!

There are entirely too may rules! There is a courtyard which is rarely used for recreation because staff does not allow chldren to play, Pool closes at 9:ooPM. There was even apoint that a child was laughing and management actually shushed him. They ...

I lived at this place for 2 years. The reasons I took this place included the location: closest building to a T stop, and easy access to highway 2 to get out of the city to work; pretty new and modern building which is not that common in Cambridge, t...

I've lived here for 3 years and have seen people come and go. It's not as bad as some comment on here. It seems like the only people on here are the ones that have something bad to say. I guess you can't make everyone happy, but I am. So I feel like ...

For what you get, this apartment is very overpriced. If you have a dog and want parking, plan on paying about $2700 per month. Don't move in here if you plan on staying more than a year. They get you in with a "deal" then hike up the rent considerabl...

Most of the complaints you´ve read here are true. 1) Parking--There was a memo sent to all tenants which implied that a good number had a parking space _taken away_ from them mid-lease. The spaces are way too small, especially considering the inc...
