Vela on The Park Apartments

This property has gone down hill with new management. I unfortunately had to adjust my review since move in. Maintenance tickets are not closed in a timely fashion, dying landscape, and poor security. They continuously raise the rents without updating the property.

I had a virtual tour a while back and I must say vela is absolutely beautiful! The apartments are very bright and spacious. Andre was my agent and he was super helpful and professional! Cant wait to lease at Vela when I make my move to CT!

New Management sucks. Sure they have a few more events but they raised rent, are horrible to deal with, they are never there. All we ever get are notices that oh no, we don't have your insurance or this or that, well it is the same, nothing has changed, do you job. I lived there for 2 years and they tried to tow my car. Nope. Good thing we are moving soon. This place is bad.

My wife and I stayed here for about 7 months while we were in town for work. The apartment complex was clean and safe, with a mix of young professionals and some older retirees (It seems like). I didn't have any issues, any maintenance problems were fixed quickly, when I moved in I had some cosmetic damage to my fridge and microwave and they offered to replace them without me asking. The concierge's, while we did have a couple come and go while I lived there were all great. Shout out to Milo. I would personally rate my experience on the building and staff as 5/5. I give 4/5, because on multiple occasions the 66 Summer apartments residents would take my parking spot in the shared garage (get a traffic cone to fix that) and if you are on a lower floor facing Washington Blvd. it can get loud due to locals that think they need to race down the road or blast their music from their car parked at Columbus Park. If there is one place that needs some speed bumps (permanent or temporary) its Washington Blvd. People will circle around Mill River driving as fast as they can late at night with loud exhaust because they think its cool. Positives: Lots of shopping and food nearby. 10 minute walk to the train station. Clean. Always stuff to do. Relatively safe compared to the majority of places in the US. Public transportation is good. Negatives: Traffic is loud and busy. Most likely need to drive for groceries (or have them delivered) as Target is very limited on fresh food and its only groceries available in walking distance.
