First thing is this place doesn't tell you upfront that they require you pay water, garbage, and some sort of renters insurance. This adds about 80 bucks to the monthly rent they advertise. Second the AC is horrible in this place, it has one unit in the living room for the entire apartment and it doesn't do a thing to the other rooms. My wife and i found ourselves sleeping in the living room a lot and that is ridiculous. They don't allow AC units. Also the place keeps going up in rent each year... by about 150 bucks, this is really annoying but just makes people want to move out at the end of the lease. Other than all of that it isn't to bad of a community. Other tenants are fairly quiet and respectful. I also have always felt safe here as well as my vehicles secure. The wood floors are a bit battered, but its nice for cleaning vs carpet. Read More

Not a huge fan of the property, the pictures make it look a lot better than it is.

I would never recommend living here to ANYONE. The only pros are the location and the price for that location, and I will say the people they hire to plow really keep the hill spotless, but that’s about it. They don’t rush to fix any problems that you have, and when they do get around to it, they don’t do things the right way. I’ve had to have them come back to fix the same issue multiple times, and command strips rip the paint off the walls. They’re also advertising that they’re newly renovated... , but everything in my apartment is old, things have even broken. All they care about is getting new people in so they’re super friendly and extra helpful during that whole process, and then once you’re here they don’t give a crap about you. Awful. Read More

I just moved out of Summit and Birch Hill, specifically the Summit part of the complex. Overall, the experience wasn't bad and the location was perfect; it's right next to the ramp for Route 6 (to go to I-84) and it's on Route 10 (which takes you up to Canton and down past Southington.)

The pros are that it's relatively inexpensive compared to the rest of Connecticut, both in Farmington and other Central Connecticut towns. Additionally, it's spacious for the price; the bedrooms are big, the... dining room and living room are too. The kitchen is the only thing that's tiny.

But for us, my roommate and I, the cons outweighed the pros. For starters, while the complex is very accepting of dogs, they may be a bit too accepting. We've ran into many aggressive dogs while walking my dog. Additionally, dog poop is littered throughout the grounds, even though the complex asks for owners to pickup after their pets.

Inside, there were a few things worth noting. The whole unit has one air conditioner, a wall unit in the living room, which during hot summer days does not cut it. The bathrooms are tiny, definitely not big enough for two people. And lastly, management is horrendous at addressing maintenance problems at a timely fashion. Read More

DO NOT LIVE HERE. It's dirty, awful selfish management who does not answer calls, ridiculous prices for a gross apartment. Biggest regret was living here, I got the heck out and advise don't make the same mistake i did and live here!
