The leasing agent took great pride in the property. As we walked through the courtyard, he stopped to pick up an empty water bottle that had been left on a bench. That showed a genuine interest in keeping the property neat and tidy. It also exemplified what pride the leasing agent felt. The leasing agent pointed out nearby Planet Fitness and shopping areas. The leasing agent was especially proud of the on-site management team who were working diligently to fully renovate apartments as they come available. I left with a great impression of the staff!

The community itself seems to be a good choice for a renter. The location is conveniently situated next to a shopping area, yet it gives the impression of being quite secluded and quiet. I liked the fact that there are community-wide activities to bring neighbors together and foster friendships. I was surprised that the renters pay all utilities, but then the rental rates are low compared to other communities. All in all, I think this community would be an excellent choice.

I really enjoyed touring this community. The leasing professional was very friendly and full of energy. He seemed like he would be a very helpful resource if I were to move into the community. The community itself did not really stand out to me compared to other communities I have seen. However, some features I really liked were the vaulted ceilings and the separate laundry rooms.

This property is centrally located and close to many amenities. It has two distinct building areas, the original built in the early 2000's and the buildings up on the hill which were built a few years later. Everything was neat and clean. Although the apartments were on the small side, I thought the floor plans worked well. They do have an outdoor pool, barbecues, and a small gym which is open 24/7. The service at the leasing office was very impressive. Everything appeared to be well maintained. The color scheme in the apartments is beige and aqua, which may not be to everyone's liking. Overall a nice property. Nothing outstanding, but a good deal for the money.

The area does have a draw with the shopping. I could picture myself having coffee and looking at the view of the harbor.

I would consider renting here. The grounds were nice. The first apartment I viewed was very nice and the second not as much. I was surprised to learn it was newer than the first. The agent was friendly and gave me a comfortable feel for the location.

If you have a small family aka a young couple with no kids, then this is an awesome place. Minutes from downtown Salem, with tons of things to do.

Couldn't be any happier. We love Hawthorne Commons.

My on-site visit was great!! I was very pleased with the presentation of the property and the features that it offered.

As I entered the property, I was impressed with how clean and well kept everything was. I especially liked that there was no trash bin visible and that it was behind a tasteful looking brown fence. The white fences and trim both on the exterior and interior of the property, were well maintained and made the grounds look inviting. The pool and fitness area looked well kept as well. The landscape was tasteful for the season. When I drove to the opposite side of the property, that area was also well maintained. It was bright and clean, even on a rainy day.

It's cozy, feels like home, friendly atmosphere, great apartments with great fixtures Love having my own washer and dryer and patio However the only down fall is coming home from work and never finding a parking spot For some reason parking is so hard here and not quite sure why, I have a parking sticker and never find a spot when I get home from work after 8pm

The grounds are very well maintained and the exterior construction appears to be well designed. They definitely went cheap on the interior of the units, however, the cathedral ceilings and big windows offset that to a certain degree. I have really loud neighbors in the unit above me, so I hear the noise from the children running and jumping. Other than that I hear nothing what-so-ever, which leads me to believe it's the occupants of that unit, not the construction of the building to blame. The hallways are always clean and they have someone that goes around the premise daily to keep the exterior clean as well. The staff members are all nice and friendly. They take the time to help everyone on an individual basis and they are constantly organizing gatherings for the tenants to get to know each other. It's a really nice perk that isn't typically offered in apartment complexes. The parking seems is a little tight during the Winter months for some reason, I personally haven't had a bad experience with parking, but my son's brand new car did obtain a dent from another car's door. The snow plowing is exceptional, they come at the first sign of snow and stay long after the snow stops falling. My only complaint is the smoking policy. In this day and age, smoking should be limited to an outside designated area away from the dwellings. Not just for health concerns, but for the risk of a fire. The cigarette smell in my building's hallway is really bad and the smoke actually comes through to my unit. It's really disgusting. Other than that, I really love it here.

I found the apartment to be very spacious and well maintained. The community was in great shape. The paint was vibrant, and the community was beautifully landscaped. I thought it was a good value for the money. I thought the amenities were somewhat lacking. It would have been nice to have an entertainment room and a larger fitness center. The leasing professional was enthusiastic and knew his product. His presentation focused on the features of the apartment and their benefits. Overall, I would likely recommend the property.

The apartment and the surroundings are what I am looking for when I am ready to move. The smell of smoke was a big draw back, but I suppose you have to weigh the good with the bad. The location was good, and the area seemed very quiet. The tour was very helpful, and the presentation was very professional.

All in all our experience has been great
