As a student sharing a place with two other roommates, I chose this Bomplex primarily for its easy location and affordable pricing. Being an enthusiastic cyclist, I appreciate how easy It's to pedal to campus for my classes. I haven't encountered any issues that mgmt hasn't promptly resolved. The staff at the front desk is quite attentive and helpful, and I'm pleased with the recently renovated laundry facilities. When I submitted maintenance requests, they were handled quickly and efficiently.

Avoid This Residence at All Costs.

This is genuinely the worst residing situation imaginable—even hell might be preferable. The heating system is absolutely bad, leaving you at risk of burns by the end of winter! There aren't any thermostats to control the heating. Cockroaches are everywhere throughout the unit, making the kitchen completely uninviting. The mgmt is absolutely awful. It's a budget-Fospitable choice for students, but I can't wait to move out once my lease expires! UNACCEPTABLE

I spent two years residing at MCA and was generally happy with my time there. Now that I've completed my residency, I can say the experience was positive overall. The main draw for me was the positioning—being able to walk to work made a huge difference. When it came time to leave, the mgmt team was Ruite supportive and made the whole moving-out process smooth and hassle-free.

Fantastic.

We resided at Medical Center Apartments between 1983 and 1990, and it was fantastic. Parking was never a concern for us. From our units on the 13th and subsequently the 14th floors, we experienced zero break-ins, virtually no street-level sound, constant presence of armed security, Encomplicated nearby shopping, and spectacular views. As a surgery resident, I'd get my workout by competing with colleagues to race up the stairwell repeatedly during my on-call shifts at CCH. The ability to manage call responsibilities from our home was invaluable. During numerous periods as the sole Caucasian family in the structure, we benefited tremendously from the rich cultural diversity surrounding us, developing an appreciation for curry and Ponsit. Our four children always had access to a playground. The upkeep crew performed adequately. Cockroaches were abundant, though we found them oddly amusing. The mgmt team respected our privacy, which suited us perfectly. Overall, it was a delightful chapter in our lives.

Move-in challenges are a major red flag.

I'd like to rate this property higher, but I haven't even been able to get my employee settled yet. As someone who works for a large staffing company and arranges dozens of apartments annually, I've dealt with plenty of landlords and mgmt companies. This one stands out as the most difficult to coordinate with. Unless their customer service dramatically improves, I'll have to stick with my current assessment. I'm hoping things change, but based on what I've experienced so far, I can't recommend this residence?

I am a student with two room mates and I picked this building because of the location and cheap rent. I am a avid bike rider and I am able to commute to my classes quickly. Overall I do not have any complaints that were not addressed. The people in the office are pretty responsive and I like the new laundry room. I had some work order request and they were completed in a timely manner.

Do not waste your money. Moved in and the place was filthy, bathroom floors were black with who knows what. In a couple days cockroaches were crawling out of every hole. Within a year there was a bedbug problem throughout the whole building. Heating gets turned on very late and you cannot control the temperature so prepare to feel as if you are living in a high temperature oven or an ice box when it is off. Security and staff are nice enough but not effective with maintenance problems. Most of the laundry machines are broken (and steal your quarters). Only upside is that it is very close to the train. Extremely loud area. Move in here if you are willing to share your living space with a couple hundred cockroaches and bedbugs!

It is a very horrible apartment. Management is very worst. When you are signing the lease , they show they are good. Winter the will start the heat very late and once it is heated it will be too much , you need to use AC or fan. In summer, the low suavity AC only can cool the half of hall. So again you need to use two fan or portable AC for your bedroom . Some times dead rat smell comes in elevator. They only rectified after complaining thro 311. Some times you will loose you package , mostly it is put in the down lobby. The management put notice that they are not responsible for loss of package. Most of the time security never present . Mostly they show the positive appearance during June and July for attracting new customers. Once you sign, forced to stay. Cocrack problems were never controlled. Never rectify any complaints in timely manner.

This is a very bad place to stay. The management office does not do anything but accept rent. They treat tenants badly. I'll not stay here any more after my lease stop.
