Center Place

My husband and I have lived here since August of 1992. The best attribute of Center Place is its staff, who have always gone "above and beyond" for us. Our apartment is roomy, our parking space (inside under the building) is convenient, and we are located minutes from Routes 95 N and S. There are a bank, a coffee shop, and a restaurant directly across the street behind us and an Amtrak station across the street to our front. Our location is ideal.

My family of three lived there for more than a year and overall had a great experience. Our apartment at 710 has a spectacular view of the train station, the capitol, and the sky. We watched fireworks and sunsets right from our apartment and it was wonderful. It was for sure the best renting experience we have had. The building was extememely well managed and maintained. The staff were super helpful and friendly. The people at the front desk were always nice and friendly, they made us feel welcomed--we mostly interacted with Harry and John at the front desk. One time one of our neighbors consistently made a lot of noise during the nights, and Harry resolved it like a charm. John was such an angel and was so nice to my daughter, Lucy (as well as Lucy's friends who came to visit). Lucy definitely loved him a lot (and his treats). I don't know how much they are paid but they definitely deserve a raise.

I have lived in Avalon at Center Place for 5 years, and this place is one of the best places in providence if not the BEST!! Highly recommended.

We chose Center Place for 4 main reasons: proximity to the train, attractiveness/cleanliness of the building, proximity to downtown, and ability to move in the middle of our lease (a perk when Avalon managed the property). Out of the 4 reasons the proximity to downtown and the building were the absolute best two reasons. We ended up rarely needing the train, but on the days when we did need it, it was exceptionally convenient. We unfortunately did not have the opportunity to move to a sister property of Avalon because a new property manager took over during our lease. That issue aside, we were very happy with our time at Center Place and were sad to leave. Melanie, John, Kevin, and Harry were the people we got to know the most and we are deviated to have to leave them, all the staff was so accommodating and sort of felt like family! If youre moving to Providence, move here!

It sounds small, but everything small becomes big. Or else, it becomes a big problem if not addressed promptly. So, when the light beneath my microwave, which lights my stovetop, went dark just after I moved in, when I was still lost in a sea of boxes to be unpacked, I could not deal! So, I entered a non-emergency maintenance request via the online portal AvalonAccess, and that's it. I did nothing else. Magically, the very next day, an understated, knowledgeable, and super-speedy repair person appeared at my door, and fixed it faster than imaginable. I'd still be looking for a screwdriver had I attempted to fix it myself! So, easy, so seamless, and here is the best part. No one shamed me for having to ask for help. Perfection!
