Oh man... it's definitely better than the DB. At the very least you can be sure the train wont be stuck at a "10 minute delay" for 2 hours.

Been living at Halstead for over 3 years now.

Location is fantastic and amenities have been improving since new management bought it over. Rent has skyrocketed by almost $1k since I moved here (I pay slightly less as a long-time tenant) although i think that's been the case for most Southern NH rentals.

The apartment layouts are great for repurposing the "living area" by the balcony into a third bedroom. Avoid the first floor though, sewage infrastructure in the buildings are dated and backups are frequent.
