SHOCKED at the 3.3 stars
I’ve seen every new apartment in CT. I made the decision to move to this complex. I worried when I saw the reviews. I read them but saw comments about amenities and future plans. Phew!! The place is awesome. Liz, the property manager was kind and patient with all my questions. She made it easy! I know it’s an average but the stars should be *****

Get in here while you can! Beautiful apartments.
I chose this new apartment complex over anything even in Glastonbury, CT (where I've lived forever) because of it's quality build, modern interiors, and really nice people/community already. Plus the view of the sunset over Middletown every night is such a perk I didn't expect. This area is definitely going to get even better with the second building, amenities (pool/new gym), and the shops/businesses we're hearing about coming in to the town. If you're a fan of Starbucks, you can walk there in... less than 3 mins too. Perfect for fam/friend visitors and a short drive to Middletown for eating at great restaurants.

Conveniently located in Central Connecticut in the beautiful town of Portland.
A very nice apartment complex nestled in this nice historical location, sits Brainerd Place. Well managed by Liz Coleman, who runs a tight ship. If you are looking for a small studio, 1 or 2 bedroom unit, this is the place. Pet friendly, nice neighbors, several amenities and plenty of off street parking. Make Brainerd Place your next home. You won't regret. We love it here.

Pictures Don’t Do Enough Justice!
Living at Brainerd Place has been an exceptional experience—the apartments are spacious, bright, and far more inviting than photos can show. The location strikes the perfect balance between peaceful living and convenient access to nearby shops, restaurants, and scenic river walks. The management team is responsive and genuinely cares about residents’ comfort. Huge shout out to liz as well, She is absolutely the face of what I call a management that cares! I am so glad I chose to call this hidden... gem home!

Excellent staff, excellent service
My overall experience from start to finish with Brainerd Place and especially with Liz Coleman has been exceptional. After considering multiple other properties in the area, it was truly the service, dedication, commitment to client care, and overall quality of experience that led me to choose Brainerd place. She was truly available for me and made the whole experience a positive one.
