There have been more than 5+ car break-ins since I moved in over a year ago & the company will do NOTHING to help you out. They just want your money & do not care about you or your safety,

I stayed at Village at Wethersfield for 1 year. Just a little insight into the lease: if you are leasing an apartment for 12 months, be prepared to pay for 13 months because when you vacate the apartment, they will overcharge for routine repairs and wear-and-tear, which other management companies wouldn't. Moreover, they have a pattern of doing this. I know quite a few friends who had similar experiences with them. Then I read the reviews online. It is their common practice to charge a hefty... amount as 'miscellaneous charges,' which essentially amounts to an additional month's rent. Therefore, if you are leasing with them, be prepared to pay an additional month’s rent! Perhaps the worst aspect is that if you call them to discuss it, they are insulting and may snap. Read More

Staff is not very friendly and accommodating. I would not recommend attempting to rent here, despite the beauty of the community.

I relocated from another state to CT last week. 2 days before our scheduled move-in, we got a call from the apartment manager stating the room wouldn’t be ready for us to move in. After we expressed our displeasure, she called us back to say we can move in. On the day of the move in, we asked a friend to get our keys for us. The office is closed when he gets there so I called the manager and left a voicemail. She calls me back and tells me we haven’t paid our move-in balance so she can’t give... out the keys. Meanwhile she had acknowledged receipt of our check 2 weeks earlier via email so I tell her I’ll get back to her and go check the date we received the email from her. I called her back and told her the date she sent the email and then she goes on to ask if she’s the one who sent the email. Anyway, finally she goes to her office and realizes she got the check. Obviously she wasn’t ready for us that day. After a long journey, we finally get to our apartment only to find that the place has not been cleaned! Imagine my horror when I open the dishwasher and the machine washer. Mold and mildew everywhere. The windows have dead flies laying in the sill, there’s bad stench from the fridge, dirty patio screen, old rusty door knobs, rusted bath tub drains. We call her for someone to clean and she cleans only the dishwasher, and just wipes down the window glass and laundry washer saying she can’t do the rest and that maintenance would have to come to see the other stuff. I sent an email to the manager on Tuesday, and I’m yet to hear back from her. You would think in this era of COVID-19, cleaning the apartments would be a priority! Old appliances and dirty cabinets. Don’t be fooled by the outside; the outside looks lovely but the inside is horrible. And the stench right outside my apartment is unbelievable. Seems the dogs pooped and urinated on the carpets. You better see the apartment you are moving in before you move in. Read More

I've lived here for almost a year and, so far, we've enjoyed our stay. Staff is accommodating, prompt, and knowledgeable.

Units have nice amenities, including a washer/dryer. Walk-in closet and porch storage were pluses for us. Cabinets are outdated. The laundry door did come unhinged due to a stripped screw hole and just about fell on me when we first moved in. Highly recommend taking the door off as there is more room to do laundry, considering the tight space. Maintenance is very quick to... address issues! Our garbage disposal broke on the afternoon of NYE and someone responded within an hour.

Noise within the apartments is not an issue. We can hardly hear our next door neighbor, however, we can hear our downstairs neighbor.

Apartments facing the Berlin Turnpike hear a lot of traffic! As I sit here and write, I can hear every car pass by. We also have some interesting people who walk along the road at all hours--we occasionally hear yelling, sometimes in the night.

Neighborhood is not great. The neighboring shopping center has a lot of sketchy people and stores. Garbage pickers come through (trespass) daily. There have also been a few car break ins and tire thefts recently (Neighbors app) in the area. I've seen security around the premises occasionally but they're between properties.

Between units 301-436, there is simply not enough parking! It's unassigned and the layout assumes one space per apartment, though the green area could accommodate more parking in a future project. In many cases, apartments have two residents and two cars. Parking can be difficult to come by after 7pm on a weekday or 5pm on weekends (cars RARELY move), so good luck! We've personally had nights during which we would have to park several buildings away or at the club house. Management does not enforce parking because commercial vehicles (not allowed) continue to be parked daily by residents, despite complaints. So, in addition to one's personal vehicle, they have a second, making parking even more difficult for those with only one car. Another annoying problem is the number of out of state vehicles (2 in 10). While management does take vehicle information, they do not educate residents about the legal need to register their vehicles within 60 days of in-state residency.

OVERALL (I appreciate you reading my essay), nice place but be aware of pros and cons of each unit. My reasons for moving include: parking, small unit for needs, and rent that seems to be creeping up. Read More
