We have been a resident at the Gateway at Malden Center apartment complex for almost four years now. And we are indeed happy with our stay here.
As a place of residence, it has all the internal and external conveniences. It has wonderful/friendly management staff and equally good/friendly maintenance staff. They all work hard to keep things in smooth working order.
The apartment complex is secure (with punch/fob access) and is well-maintained. It has security/CCTV cameras at strategic points and common areas. Residents can submit various maintenance requests online through the apartment web portal (accessible through a smartphone or computer) and the requests get attended to by a maintenance person within a day or two. Urgent/emergency service requests get immediately routed to a service personnel or someone on duty and gets looked into within a reasonable time period based on the urgency. Almost all administrative work including paying rent can be done online so there is hardly any need for a resident to be physically present at the leasing/ management office.
It has an indoor swimming pool and a gym. Packages are delivered to a secure package room with controlled access, and USP mail to individual mailboxes located at the lobby. Usually a notification is sent to the resident if a package is delivered to the package room by a carrier.
The complex is very conveniently located too. The MBTA T-station is just across the street about a two-minute walk from the complex. It is roughly a 10-minute walk to the Stop and Shop grocery store with another two minutes or so from there to Walgreens pharmacy, and similar walking distances to many local banks, ATM machines, a large variety of restaurants and dining/eating places, shopping places, etc. The Malden City Hall/office is about a two minute walk. The USPS post office too is about a 10-minute walk from the apartment complex in a different direction.
It is a pet friendly apartment. Residents are generally friendly and quiet. The neighborhood too is great. In the overall, it is a great place to stay if you desire such an environment/ conveniences.
