City - Southbridge

An hour away from Boston, Southbridge is a beautiful, wooded community. The area is a mixture of several landscapes. The town is hilly, yet flat with grassy farmland, while downtown gives an urban feel and the neighborhoods feel like a suburban escape. This small town is best known as for its historical connection to manufacturing optical products. Southbridge was once home to the world's largest manufacturer of ophthalmic products, employing thousands across the world and selling affordable eyewear for over 100 years. Today, Southbridge is no longer considered the “Eye of the Commonwealth” but is now a charming home for a close community.

Southbridge is lush, with dreamy landscapes and neighbors embrace an active lifestyle. You can find locals enjoying nature at Westville Recreation Area. This park is one of several green spaces in town and it’s a popular spot for camping, hiking, boating, and biking with waterside views.

There are some pretty awesome people living in this building. I had my husband carry a large package upstairs to my neighbors in Apt. 301, a lovely couple I met in the Elevator. My intention was paying forward the selfless service. The day prior someone helped me jump start my vehicle. We should continue to "look out for our neighbors"!

We love living at the Residences at Wells School. Very quiet and clean. Our apartment is everything we were looking for and more. The residence lounge and gym are a plus and we are looking forward to future events there. Management is accessible and a pleasure to deal with. Maintenance is prompt and great to work with. Best decision we made was to move here.

From tenant

Apartments and amenity areas are visually well-represented on the website. However, there are no activity programs in place, no storage as of June 5, 2022 and a quick drive-by at just about any time of day will reveal smokers/drinkers sitting on steps outside the building. Also, the traffic can be noisy. Depending on which side of the building you are on (whether or not you pay full rent or on income-sensitive program), your view may consist of apartments that have been ignored for decades. Staff is nice. Apartments are brand new.

Property Manager at Residences at Wells School (A 55+ Community), Responded To This Review

Thank you for taking time to leave your review. We are happy to announce we have the first of our activity programs occurring this week and hope you can attend. Storage is coming and we apologize it was not immediately ready with the building renovation. The Residences at Wells School is a smoke free community, we have recently installed new signage alerting everyone of this and are following up to enforce a fresh air environment. We are happy you have decided to call Residences at Wells School home and we look forward to building community among our new staff and residents!

All-in-all living here has made my life so much easier. I don't have to go outside to put the garbage out, do my wash or get my mail, The elevators make it easier to get my groceries and packages to my apartment. Having a mailroom to have packages delivered to is great, too. I don't have to worry about anyone taking my packages, like has happened in the past. The people are very friendly but not nosey. I am very happy I made the move to live here,
