Or if you have any friends/neighbors with dogs ask yo go with them if you’re worried about not having a dog at the park! As a dog owner myself, I’m much more chatty at the park!

If you like wine, I’d recommend rebel rebel in Union in somerville, especially when it’s a little warmer to sit outside.

Reply to Zinc Apartments? by capboimac
We lived there for two years: washer dryer is actually full sized and works great. If it’s not working they replaced ours super fast.
Management is awful, my boyfriend did autopay for rent and I chose to manually pay but there’s no reminders if autopay doesn’t actually take your money. Also, our friends boyfriend had a door part literally fall on him (the part that makes it auto open at the top) and management basically just said “oh sorry”.
We honestly never heard our upstairs neighbors, but we could hear people in the hallway way more, like if someone was walking by talking on their phone.
There are lots of dogs in the building, it’s a dog friendly building that has a dog park on site. Definitely note that re: noise and if you’re dog people.
As far as noise, it’s not awful if you’re in your apartment with the windows closed. But our apartment ran hot (something they were never able to fix) and it was so loud if we had a window open. If you’re facing lechmere, you can definitely hear the announcements.
We got a great deal during COVID so that’s what drew us in, great walking to cambridge crossing through Morgan St.
TLDR: the noise isn’t from upstairs and there’s lots of cons to consider.
