    Peaceful community, great staff, recommended

    I live in this peaceful 62+ community with new, clean apartments, on-site laundry, a nearby park, and easy access to shopping and the hospital. Residents are friendly and staff/maintenance (Courtney and Patrick) are very helpful and communicative, though I witnessed a rude, unprofessional interaction from one property manager that was unacceptable. Despite that incident, I highly recommend this place.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in these reviews is predominantly positive, with multiple reviewers emphasizing a peaceful, serene and well-maintained environment. The property is described as clean and beautiful, with new apartments and on-site conveniences such as laundry. Location advantages are noted consistently: a nearby park, easy access to shopping, and proximity to a hospital. The community is identified as a 62+ community, and reviewers repeatedly call it a "perfect place" and "highly recommend" the residences.

    Staff performance is a strong positive theme but also reveals a notable point of inconsistency. Several reviews single out staff as helpful and communicative; maintenance leadership (Patrick) receives direct praise, and one review specifically describes property manager Courtney as "sweet." These comments suggest responsive maintenance and generally supportive staff interactions for many residents and prospective residents. However, this generally favorable view of staff is tempered by a serious negative report: at least one reviewer describes the property manager as rude and unprofessional and reports an unacceptable interaction with a prospective resident. That contrast points to variability in the management experience and suggests that while many staff members are courteous and effective, there has been at least one significant customer-service lapse that affected how a prospective resident viewed the community.

    Facilities and amenities are highlighted positively and consistently: clean apartments, new construction or recently updated units, and on-site laundry are mentioned specifically. The surrounding neighborhood and access to services are also strengths — reviewers value the nearby park, shopping options, and proximity to medical facilities. Because dining, activities, and long-term care services are not mentioned in these summaries, there is no data here to evaluate those aspects; the available comments focus mainly on housing quality, location, and staff interactions.

    The most notable pattern is overall satisfaction punctuated by an isolated but strong negative complaint about management conduct. This creates a mixed-but-leaning-positive picture: many residents or reviewers express strong approval and recommendation, praising cleanliness, helpful staff, and convenient location, while at least one account raises a red flag about customer service from management. Prospective residents would likely find the facility attractive based on cleanliness, location, and staff like maintenance personnel, but should be aware of the potential for inconsistent interactions with management and may want to meet on-site staff (including the property manager) and ask current residents about their experiences to confirm fit and service consistency.

    About Fulton School Residences

    Fulton School Residences stands in Weymouth, Massachusetts, where the old Alice B. Fulton School once echoed with classroom voices, and now it offers affordable living for adults age 62 and over. The building was restored to keep its historic charm, and there are oversized windows, original details, and modern touches woven throughout the apartments, which come in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts. Folks who move in will find accessible, safe homes with air conditioning, fully equipped kitchens, and wheelchair access, including showers and common areas designed for easy movement, so getting around the place isn't a problem. There's a real sense of community here, with a large community room for social gatherings and organized activities planned by the staff to help neighbors meet and befriend each other, and there are extra programs meant to boost well-being and outlook.

    The location puts residents close to public transportation, making trips to town or visits with family more manageable, and there's parking for those who drive. For people with pets, small dogs and cats are welcome within certain weight limits. There's laundry on-site, extra storage space, and dry cleaning drop-off for ease. Residents can choose different levels of assistance based on what support they might need, with a friendly, well-trained staff on hand to help every day. The building holds 63 apartments over 36,824 square feet and has been carefully maintained since its renovation in 2009. The property details, from rental rates to occupancy history, are all tracked and managed by the Fulton School Residences Management Office. The Massachusetts Historical Commission recognizes the preservation of its history, and the building serves as a tribute to generations of Weymouth families and students. These senior apartments fill the need for comfortable, affordable housing that's a little different from the standard apartment complex, with a schedule full of chances for social, recreational, and educational involvement in a setting that's both new and familiar.
