Halstead Malden Square provides a nice, comfortable living experience right off from the MBTA Orange Line. For the rental rates, the amenities are a great value and cover anything you’d expect (with a fitness center that is much larger than those at comparable developments).

Melissa and Alison, with the on-site property team, are both very friendly and helpful. They host community events regularly and seek out ways to improve tenant experience.

I would recommend considering Halstead if you’re... relocating to the Malden area! Read More

I have been living at Halstead Malden since December and I love it. The building is clean. The residents are friendly. The staff are wonderful! I signed a lease mainly because of the care and attention Melissa provided. She conducted a great tour and answered all my questions. I really appreciate all the events they put together for the residents!

I highly advise AGAINST residing at Halstead Malden Square. Please keep looking! I have so many disappointing stories explaining the disapproval of this place but I will keep my post brief.
1. Management is definitely not the best and it is hard getting in contact with them. Plus Management continuously changes. Yet it still seems like they can’t get it right.
2. They are definitely overpriced. And please don’t do a month to month lease— they will literally eat you alive in the monthly amount... because they did it to me! I thought the contracted amount was a little expensive— but they made sure I knew what expensive really was. My month to month rent increased more than double the amount.
3. Even after moving out, they fabricate everything they can think of to ensure that they won’t have to pay the customer back the full prorated amount.
It angers me that I even chose to stay there but I hope this review prevents others from making the same mistake I did. Just keep looking elsewhere.

The building is nice, however there are a lot of problems you notice when you start living here. The management is overloaded with work, there are two folks and they won’t respond to phone calls, even before you sign the lease. We recently had some bike stolen from the bike room. Management didn’t do anything about it, we brought our bikes back to our apartment since. The amenities don’t really work except for the gym. The building isn’t particularly noisy, but you can hear people walking in the... apartment above you very clearly. Has been the case with everyone, not just louder neighbors.
What I do like is the tenant living here. There is a sense of community within the building, tenants vs building management sort of scenario. The location is very nice, close to orange line and lot of grocery stores. Overall nice but expensive for what you get. Read More
