This company is legit trash. It's run by stupidly rich slumlords that are too cheap and lazy to fix anything. Seems like everyone they hire is lazy and incompetent, seriously--theyve lost my rent payment, ignore all maintenance requests, and just generally take forever to respond to any phone call or email(if they ever do) DO NOT LIVE HERE. You're much better off finding a privately owned place on Craigslist or leasing from a different company.

Renting from the Hamilton Company caused unnecessary stress, especially for a place with higher rent. Here is a list of issues. 1. The buildings at BattleGreen Apartments in Lexington have been on a steady decline. It's a little like a mirage, it initially looks okay but it's not what it seems. Shopping carts pop up everywhere, on the lawn and sticking up in the snow in the winter. People smoking outside and leaving belongings strewn around. Kids had a water balloon fight outside the other day and left popped balloon fragme... read more

My daughter just moved in and I am already so disappointed with the service from this company. Not to mention they have zero social distancing in the office, but they never respond to an email or return phone calls. I've needed to contact 3+ times to get ahold of her landlord. Going into the office is not an option for me with this spike of coronavirus in the area... to dangerous being around all those employees. When we picked up the keys one employee was coughing so much. The apartments are dirty just like the workers.

If only I could give a rating of zero it's entirely applicable. They didn't come in and clean the unit I was scheduled to move into at all. They actually have a disclaimer saying in there busy months they won't be able to but will get around to it before the 10th of your move in. This is a million dollar company with residential buildings all over. Why can't you have cleaning company scheduled. They never contacted me so here I am scrubbing toilets, walls, kitchen cabinets with filth and gunk all over them, etc, refrigerator... read more

They refuse to evict tenants who are extremely disrespectful. They refuse to fix anything. You want to pay your rent online? You'll get charged a fee and they blame the bank. You want to pay by check? Cant mail it you have to go down to the office where there's no parking. Then they claim they didn't get a payment and then threaten eviction. You have to pay almost $100 to park at West Roxbury and you'll be towed if they dont look hard enough for your sticker. Cant have company because there's nowhere to park. High rent for a... read more

I have had cockroaches since September when I moved in and it took them until now, nearly a year later to show up and spray the place. I've been I am ocd clean and vacuum my apartment and wet swifter the floors every other day. I never drop food on the floor, I only eat in the kitchen and yet I have cockroaches crawling around in my bedroom, living room and bathroom as well. I saw one crawling up the wall next to my bed the other day. My cat spends all day chasing them, it's disgusting. They carry bacteria/diseases so it's... read more

I tried leasing an apartment with them around Boston, MA. They were great and helpful in the beginning and as time progressed (less than a month), he became increasingly unresponsive and unreliable. It seems that a few others have the same issue as well, I tried to post an application for places whose rent was a slightly lower but every time I was denied due to unavailability and was asked to consider a place outside my budget and needs. Need to fix their websites and need to fix the way they handle people's request. Thanks ... read more

I was supposed to move into the MA Hamilton Oaks II location Mid June & on my move in day I find dozens of live cockroaches. The Property management office arranged for a exterminator to fumigate & his exact words were "This is badly infested". Ultimately I was provided with an non-livable apartment & it is now about a month later I still have not received my initial deposit of $2,205. I have repeatedly reached out by Phone, Email & In-Person just to be told that the manager is "picking up the checks from their accounting of... read more

Hi Katherine, Thank you for leaving us this feedback; we strive to provide efficient maintenance resolutions and I am sorry that this was not your experience with us when you were moving into Hamilton Oaks II. Per Maintenance, their report was that the unit was not infested, though there were signs of pests. No pest issue had ever been reported to us from the previous residents, so once it was brought to our attention, we did treat the unit before your move-in and did our best to resolve the issue. Once we received further n... read more
