Overall Review of Summit 73

caveat 7 reviews mention this

Communication is a mixed bag

Residents describe difficulty getting timely responses by phone or email.

Several residents say the office and property manager rarely answer calls or reply to messages, even after multiple attempts or voicemails. Others report delays returning deposits and problems getting help with ongoing issues. A smaller set of residents share the opposite experience, praising specific managers for being communicative and reachable, but the complaints are recurring enough to be a clear risk.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Repairs and maintenance vary

Maintenance follow-through is inconsistent in reviews.

Some residents describe quick fixes, including appliance replacements and maintenance handling large issues within days or hours. Others say requests go unanswered, that maintenance never arrives to complete repairs, or that problems persisted for long stretches like broken washer and dryer and unfinished upkeep. Taken together, residents appear to have very different day-to-day experiences with maintenance response and completion.

common 8 reviews mention this

Quiet, clean, and well-kept

Residents frequently mention a quiet, clean setting.

Many reviews highlight the property as clean, quiet, and well maintained, with well-kept grounds and a generally calm atmosphere. Several residents also mention strong sound isolation, describing the buildings as keeping neighbors from being heard. Even among more critical reviews, people still often keep returning to the neighborhood feel and walkability.

common 4 reviews mention this

Location near daily conveniences

Residents appreciate nearby stores, dining, and parks.

Reviews repeatedly note convenience to everyday options and nearby attractions, including grocery and pharmacy access and outdoor areas for walking. One resident specifically mentions a close walk to the beach, while others describe being near restaurants and parks in the South Portland area. The surrounding options shown nearby include restaurants and parks within about a half mile to roughly 1.6 miles.

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Pricing feels overpriced to some

Some residents call the rent and fees too high.

A few reviews describe rent increases and units that feel priced like luxury, while pointing to issues with upkeep or features not matching that expectation. Others mention upfront deposits and delays with deposit returns. At the same time, a few residents describe a solid price or location value, so the cost perception is not uniform.
