We chose Center Place for 4 main reasons: proximity to the train, attractiveness/cleanliness of the building, proximity to downtown, and ability to move in the middle of our lease (a perk when Avalon managed the property). Out of the 4 reasons the proximity to downtown and the building were the absolute best two reasons. We ended up rarely needing the train, but on the days when we did need it, it was exceptionally convenient. We unfortunately did not have the opportunity to move to a sister property of Avalon because a new property manager took over during our lease. That issue aside, we were very happy with our time at Center Place and were sad to leave. Melanie, John, Kevin, and Harry were the people we got to know the most and we are deviated to have to leave them, all the staff was so accommodating and sort of felt like family! If youre moving to Providence, move here!

I seldom write reviews, but felt inclined to do so here. I lived in Avalon at Center Place for a year while going through a transition in my life. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. The apartments are spacious and well maintained. All of the staff were friendly and helpful beyond compare. One in particular, John Jenda, a special shoutout to this concierge-extraordinaire who optimizes customer service. Witnessing his handling of various situations and tenant issues, he demonstrated his knowledge, expertise, and proper handling of whatever may come his way. Additionally, he takes the time to develop a personal relationship with all of the tenants. He knows their names and goes above and beyond to make their stay special. In my opinion, he's worth every penny, and a bargain at twice the price!

From the bottom of my heart, this apartment building in Providence is the BEST apartment Ive ever lived in. I have lived in high end apartments in DC, DFW, Boston, LA and New York and this specific location in Providence and Avalon really beats any place I have ever rented. (I have rented Avalon in different cities in the past). The staff is truly is top notch! Specifically, shout out to a truly compassionate, attentive and courteous concierge named John. John truly understands the importance of keeping residents happy with positive everyday contact. Johns genuine smile, his positive attitude and always can-do helpful attentiveness help to build trusting and rewarding relationships for the residents and their guests. When I look back at my prior apartments and experiences, my relationship with the concierge, who is the face and voice of the apartment, is pivotal to how I view and feel my living experience is. That is why, having concierges such as John really makes the Avalon at Center Place a wonderful place to live in and to have a community with where you are truly appreciated.
