Cote Village Townhomes Resident: Dennene Jackson

Meet Dennene Jackson – she’s a longtime resident of Mattapan and a single mom of four boys, with her oldest turning 40 this year. She raised her sons on her own and, with Cote Village, wanted a new opportunity; and to live somewhere nice and clean, well-kept, and with no pests. She was unhappy living in her prior residence, was facing depression, and wanted a new scope on life. She is thrilled to be living at Cote Village, with her youngest son, who is in school to become a sports agent.

Resident Testimonial: The Ledges

I was very excited about moving into the Ledges, and it is meeting all my expectations! I moved in early February. Before that I lived on another Peabody property for 10 years. I find them an exceptional management company. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. They care about their residents, display professionalism, and provide great property maintenance. I can’t say enough about them.

Resident Testimonial: Bethany Apartments

I moved into the Bethany Apartments in the summer of 2018. I came from living in group home where I lived with 8 other people. I had never lived completely alone before. I was very nervous to live alone but I actually love it! I live here with my 11 year old cat that I adopted after moving in. Living at Bethany has completely changed my life. I am an independent 25 year old now and I am living my best life. I love living alone but I have also made friends in the building that I spend time with regularly. Bethany apartments has given me the opportunity to live a happy quiet life.
