1. Utilities: with 2 people living in a 1B1B, on average we got $215/mo electricity and $86/mo water+sewer+gas. Gas for winter A/C heating only, stoves are electric. Our room is always between 72-74°F when occupied.
2. Noise: outside 45dB on average; inside 27dB on average when all windows are closed. It is quiet. A/C, fridge, and dishwasher make tolerable noise sometimes, but not noticeable in the bedroom with door closed. Garbage truck is really loud in early morning, but you will be fine with... your windows closed. You can hear loud conversation or music from your next-door neighbor, but most of the time you don't hear a thing.
3. Environment: buildings are on top of a little hill and surrounded by ample trees and lawns, so the view is enjoyable and the air is fresh. There is a dog park, a pool, and some grill facilities as well. Elevation of the community is 250ft higher than downtown Boston, and SOME units have skyline view.
4. Parking: ample free surface lots for both tenants and visitors. There is a covered (but not underground) garage NEAR BUILDING 8 AND 10 BUT NOT THE OTHERS. Garage lets wind in, but definitely reduce the dirt on your car. Garage will also shield your car from rain and snow IF NO WATER IS DRIPPING FROM THE CELLING. Dirty salty water drips on some lots during wet days, be sure to check that out before picking your lot.
5. Services: Great professional people in the office. Emergency repair services available even after midnight. Package room in the club house with controlled access; food delivery not monitored; package and food theft did happen from time to time. Dollys in the buildings get lost very often, somebody just never returns it after using it.
6. Neighborhood: People living there in general are polite and friendly. Very convenient overall: 1mi from Dunkin' and a cheap gas station; a mechanic shop within walking distance (SW Automotive, amazing one!); 8-10min driving to body shops, car wash, Star Market, 24hr McDonald's, CVS, Target, Stop & Shop, 24hr Wendy's, Asian markets and restaurants...; 15-20min driving to South Bay mall, Trader Joe's, Costco, Whole Foods...; 40-55min commute by car from/to downtown Boston during rush hours, but 15-20min otherwise.
7. Risk: water leak, fire alarm, and power outage occurred before, but very rare, and caused no damage to me at least.
8. Rent: can pay online, definitely great price for the amenities. You're unlikely to find any cheaper ones nearby with comparable living experiences. Read More

I was a tenant for 6 years and I'm glad I am out of there. If you have kids trust me STAY away from this place. also the $300 electric bill and avg $100-150 water bill though I worked out of state in CT most of the time was just a joke.

This place is disgusting

Highpoint is a friendly community peacefully located on one of the highest points in Quincy, MA offering surprising privacy and many great views of the Boston skyline.

Highpoint offers great ammenities to include a gym, pool, function room to include pool tables/table tennis, a nice outdoor space with fire-pit and built in grills and plenty of seating. It also includes a shuttle service during rush hour to take you to and from the Quincy Center Redline stop. Extremely convenient for commuters... . It is also less than a mile to Quincy Center offering lots of restaurants, bars, and shops, a nice city-like atmosphere outside of the city but close enough to get to downtown Boston in just a few minutes.

The apartment is very roomy and has been furnished with stainless steel appliances and in-unit washer/dryer. Master includes walk-in closet and on-suite.

Spacious apartment located in a nice community with lots to offer. 4 stars! Read More

I've been here for 8 months now. The apts are large, well equiped, and well maintained. Maintenance is quick and curtious. All staff I have met and interacted with are very nice and helpful. I have never felt unsafe, and the residents are all very welcoming. The shuttle is great for getting to and from the T on work days, and there is a bus that runs about 1/hr on week days. The Quincy Center T is about 1.5 miles, and the Quincy Adams T is about 2 miles away with a garage. I think that as Quncy... continues to grow there will be greater transportation availability which will make this an even better location. They are very pet friendly. Read More

From the moment you enter the complex, you'll love the place. Landscaping is beautiful and you feel like entering to a resort in Quincy. The common areas are very well maintained and management is very approachable and helpful if you have requests, questions or concerns.

There is a shuttle bus that takes you to Quincy center station every 10-15 minutes which allows you to go to work in Boston without the need to be 1 hour in traffic in I-93. It only works from Monday to Friday from 6:30am to... 8:30am and 5:30pm to 7:30pm, therefore you still would need to have a car since public transportation only operates from Monday to Friday every hour between 6am and 7pm.

It allows pets and there are a plenty of dogs in the complex. There is even a dog park if you want your pet to play a little bit.

One last thing that I really like is the fact that management hosts events every 3-4 months for neighborghs to meet each other and the staff.

Hope to see you soon! Read More
