C.A. White — Local services in New Haven

I wouldn't normally leave a review for a building manager, but my experience with CA White was incredible. There were no surprises, no gimmicks, and the interactions with the building management were great. FYI, I lived in the 109 Church St building. I highly recommend working with them!

I was looking for a short-term lease (3 months) in New Haven this past summer. Most places didn't offer ST leases or had a very high surcharges for them. I emailed CA White, and one of their agents called me about an open room at 109 Church St. The room was big and competitively priced with 12 month leases for similar 1 bed apartments.

The building manager was very nice and helpful. When signing the lease agreement, she went through every page with me and made sure I understood what I was signing. Signing a short-term lease so quickly, my biggest fear was that I would be somehow screwed over. That was not the case at all. The manager was also always very responsive whenever I emailed any questions.

When I first arrived to move in, there was a bag of brownies and other treats from a local bakery waiting for me. Even as I moved out (around Thanksgiving), I saw the manager put a sheet out for people to write their favorite cookies that she would bake for them. I've honestly never interacted with such nice people before. The manager really cares about the tenants.

A couple other notes: -Internet was included in the rent price and fast (I was doing classes on Zoom) -All packages are securely stored in a locked room in the basement -The building is safe. You have to go through 2 doors. One is locked at all times. The other is locked during the nights and weekends. -My unit included washer/dryer/dishwasher which all worked...

The management at CenterPointe is great, as is the superintendent, Julio. Everyone is very professional. The apartments themselves are nice and in good shape. However, a couple of issues really detracted from my quality of life while in the building. In the first unit I moved into, which faced the street/New Haven Green, it was extremely loud. I couldn't sleep or even do work in the apartment. The management was great about letting me move into a different unit with the same rent, and this unit was much quieter (facing away from the street, without a view). The issue with this unit was that the bedroom windows were so enormous that no blinds could block the light from them. It was very bright even at night-- hard to sleep-- and in the mornings, the light woke me up very early. One last thing to consider is that, since I believe this was formerly an office building (with thin walls), monthly heating and cooling costs were quite high. Because of these issues, I wouldn't live at CenterPointe again. However, I really do appreciate the...

I've been a resident at C.A. White's CenterPointe for a little over two years now. The apartments are spacious, light filled and well maintained by a tremendously dedicated staff. Should an issue arise within any of the units, they are quickly addressed. We were so pleased with our first apartment with them, that a few months ago we opted to move into another, larger unit with outdoor space. We didn't dream of looking anywhere beyond our front door! Special commendation should be given for their handling of the COVID-19 global pandemic. C.A. White has taken extra precautions, increased cleaning in all common spaces such as the lobby, the gym, etc... They have diligently posted signs indicating safe social distancing, enforced a well researched policy regarding elevator use and have been beyond communicative should their be any exposure amongst the staff. We love living here and plan to...
