River Birch at Watertown

I can't say enough how wonderful living here has been! We relocated from South Florida and the staff couldn't have been more helpful from the start. Lori sent so many pictures of different available units and really made our move as seamless as possible. When we moved in the apartment was not only in perfect condition but they had toilet paper, soaps and sponges all laid out for us with a packet of local pizza places that deliver. Such a nice touch after driving for 2 whole days. The apartment... itself has beautiful finishes and high quality appliances. The neighbors are friendly and to top it all off the onsite dog park has turf! No more muddy pups! If you're on the fence about moving here, do it. You won't regret it :) Read More

Bell Watertown is a nice, quiet community in an excellent location. The staff and management are stellar — professional, responsive, and really seem to care about making sure residents needs are met and the community is a happy one. The apartments and amenities probably are exactly what you’d expect for a luxury apartment complex of this type. The buildings are built in a way that does allow a good bit of noise through from nearby units in some cases, so make sure to double-check on that if it’s... something you’re especially sensitive about. Otherwise, it’s a great little community nestled into a quiet area and super convenient location. Best of all, it’s pretty easy to bike or walk over to the beautiful paths and parks along the Charles river which continue all the way into Boston. There’s also very convenient shopping and delivery options very close by without the area feeling overly commercial for a residence. The dog park and paths nearby are fantastic if you have a dog, too. Also, parking, plowing, and trash services are always great. Awesome and super friendly maintenance staff too! Overall, Bell Watertown is an excellent option in this area if it fits your needs and price range. Read More

Bell Watertown is an ok place to live for a while. I don’t know how they can advertise as “luxury” apartments though - you can tell the buildings were put up in a hurry. In our particular unit, the vinyl flooring is peeling up in a number of places. Almost all of the interior doors are difficult to open/close or are coming off their hinges. The sink in the guest bathroom is installed at an angle, so water pools and molds if you don’t soak up the water every time you use the sink. The... playground on site is hazardous, with exposed sharp screws and splintering wood. For what we pay in rent, I’d expect more.
On the positive side, all the people who work here are lovely & the pool and exercise room are quite nice. Read More

I have been very pleased with the management at Bell Watertown. They helped me feel at home right away, and living here has been such a pleasure. The buildings and grounds are beautiful and perfectly maintained, and the special events have been a fun surprise. My dog doesn't swim, but we both had a good time at the Pooch Pool Plunge!

My little piece of heaven very thankful and grateful to live in such a nice place that I call home
