Although my time with MassMills has been brief (moving out of state for work), my time here has been amazing.
First, and what I think is most important, the staff here is terrific. From the leasing staff, to the management staff, to the maintenance staff-- they are all professional, courteous, responsive, and kind. I've had a couple of minor maintenance issues that have popped up, and they were responded to within 24 hours. I can't say enough about the people who work for MassMills/Corcoran. A true pleasure to deal with.
Second-- the building. The property has 3 buildings (colloquially "the 100 building", "the 200 building", and the "300 building.") I was in the 100 building. Immediately upon entering the building you are overwhelmed with the sense of history of this 19th century building. One of the original mills built as part of the "Lowell System," the 100 building has 5 floors and is buffeted on the backside by the Concord river. I lived on the 4th floor, on the back side of the building, and the views of the Concord river and the Lowell Memorial Auditorium were breathtaking (the photo attached was taken from my bedroom window).
The building is shockingly quiet. Tenants in this building are respectful, and typically have called this building home for many years. Each floor has its own washer/dryer and trash chute.
Lastly: The City of Lowell. This city has a cultural vibrancy that I haven't experienced before. Truly a melting pot, the bar/restaurant options in downtown run the gamut. Additionally, the city has very active recreation groups that are constantly planning city-wide events-- such as Winter Fest, Irish Fest, Lowell Folk Festival, Summer Concert Series, etc. If that's not enough, the Lowell Memorial Auditorium hosts nationally touring acts-- from Broadway to the Boston Pops, to Jay Leno. Still not enough? The Tsnogas Arena plays host to even more touring events, but also the UMass Lowell Riverhawks Hockey team. Still not enough? The National Park Service offers tours of the city, and routinely hosts events. The beauty of it all? Literally everything I described is a 5-minute walk from MassMills. Located right downtown-- this property offers an incredible opportunity to experience the city like few other properties can.
I enthusiastically, and without any hesitation, recommend MassMills. It has been a delight living here and calling this city home.
