Hazim is an amazing property manager! He really goes above and beyond and tries his best to facilitate what is in his control.
Watertown is a convenient location and offers a great scene (eating, dining, shopping). The Charles River is just behind the building, so nature lovers welcome! Although most people residing here have a car, public transportation nearby is also an option.

The Charlesbank property has been a great experience since my first visit. The building is clean, quiet, and a great location on the river. Hazim (property manager) met me on short notice on a Friday of a long weekend after 5pm! I loved the unit, Hazim sent the application and he worked on the Saturday to meet me and finish the lease. Nice to be in a building with management that cares.

I'm a current resident of Charles Apartment Homes & the experience has been extremely accommodating. The move in process was the smoothest that I have ever been a part of... Hazim (The Community Manager) has gone above & beyond his job description on multiple occasions. Clean, new, quiet building with nice neighbors. Also, it along the historical Charles River with trails to enjoy! I fully recommend Charlesbank Apartment Homes.

Overall, I've had a great experience with this property. At the price, it would be nice if there were a gym of some sort, as well as a better way for packages/food delivery to get in (they often just leave stuff outside the front door). That being said, I've had great luck with the property manager and the maintenance staff!

I moved to Charlesbank a few months ago and my experience has been nothing short of exemplary. From the time I scheduled my tour with Hazim I knew I had found the right place for me and my family. He not only gave us a full tour of the complex but helped us find our bearings in a new and unfamiliar city offering advice on schools, restaurants, entertainment... even helped us find a pcp... just always went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home. Our apartment is beautiful the grounds are impeccably maintained and the few small issues I have required maintenance for ( changing of the odd lightbulb

I recently moved into Charlesbank and am happy with the experience so far.
The move-in process went smoothly. The manager, Hazim, has been extremely helpful in making sure I was comfortable with the move and answering any questions I had.
The building is well maintained and nicely located next to the Charles River. The apartment itself is also modern and well laid out.

The only thing that has changed in the past 4 months is that we've had no fewer than 4 water leak emergencies: Our shower leaked into the apartment below, our upstairs neighbor's washer leaked into our apartment, 2 floors above us had a water heater leak that leaked down through our apartment, and our washer leaked into our downstairs neighbors apartment, which resulted in our washing machine being replaced. Honestly, if you can, search for some other place to live. The evidence that I've seen leads me to believe that the management issues run all the way up the ladder.

Don't rent here. I've been a good resident for 2.5 years and it used to be a nice place but has gone severely downhill in the past year or so. Apartment manager and management company NEVER respond to emails or calls or communicate with tenants. Stuff happens with little to no warning like installing a new lock system on apartment doors. Forget getting any questions about anything answered. They bugged me in December to renew my lease which is up May 31st and I reached out 5 times to get a question about the ridiculously high new rental rate answered and didn't get any response

I used to love living here. But over the past year it has become apparent that no one who works for Aimco has even a modicum of empathy or compassion for the residents they overcharge (except the maintenance person, Kevin; he does his best to respond in a timely manner and he's always great with my dog!).
But for the amount of money I pay to live in this mediocre location, I am really wishing I had had more time to find a better place with a more caring staff. This month I have been charged two $50 fees for trying to pay my rent early. Throughout the last year my deliveries have routinely

Wish I could give ZERO star to this place.
So my girlfriend and I scheduled the showing of the appartment TWICE (weeks apart, for different units), and the agent no show TWICE. We waited more 15 minutes both time before we called the contact number on the website try to figure out what was going on, and the lady picked up the phone told us that our information weren't in the system, hence nobody was there to tour us. But somehow we got the email confirmation for the tour??? Then we were given the number of the agent, called and no one answered.
We had to drive for two hours each time to

I'm a current resident and sleeping here is a challenge, specially in summer time when in addition to the noise coming from upstairs neighbors, people running on the stairs ( 7am is stampede time), elevator (walls seems made in paper) they do work in the parking starting at 6am sometimes. We would love to break our lease because the new upstairs neighbor sounds like and elephant everytime she walks( at 5am) and there is nothing we can do. Management is terrible. It used to be great when the manager was living here but now that she left everytime we have a concern I send emails that never get

Charlesbank offers apartments in a perfect location! You can easily walk to Watertown Square where you can access public transportation or follow the Charles River walkway all the way into the city.
Charlesbank works hard to respond quickly and efficiently to maintenance requests, which is wonderful. It is also a quiet building with not a lot of foot traffic in the halls.

These apartments are almost brand new and there is zero soundproofing between neighbors, so if you're unlucky you will hear thunderous noises from your upstairs neighbors walking around at all hours. Management has been ok, but lately there have been several thefts of packages from the foyer and management has done nothing to stop it. They could just put in a security camera and catch the thieves if they wanted. Maintenance is unreliable. There is already some mold in the units that shows up on the carpeting.

I don't live here, but we had an appointment to look at the apartments saturday afternoon (3:30) and no one showed up to show us the place. We called the phone number several times and no one was picking or replied to our messages either.. weird.
Same thing happened to another bunch of people who showed up 40 minutes before we did. They did manage to reach the leasing person and were told to wait but they gave up after 40 minutes.
It might be a good place to live and something unexpected could have happened but they did not even follow up later.

Pros:
Brand New
High Ceilings
Granite Countertops
Energy Efficient Central Air
Well Insulated - Low Heating Bills
Covered Parking
Cons:
ZERO Amenities
You hear *everything* the person above you is doing
Smelly hallways from others' cooking
Lets face it, apartment living sucks. This place is no different. It's also expensive, but that is the Boston rental market now. Not a bad place, but probably too pricey for what's offered.
