I rented a 7 bedroom house through Derosa Properties from my junior year to college graduation and I had a great experience. Rob was super helpful and handled all of our requests in a timely manner. I would strongly recommend going through Derosa for your next apartment.

Robert has been a great landlord. He's reliable, respectful, and easy to communicate with whenever something comes up. Any maintenance issues were handled quickly, and he always made sure things were taken care of properly. He treats tenants fairly and keeps the property in good condition. I really appreciated how smooth and stress-free the experience was, and I would happily recommend Robert to anyone looking for a dependable landlord.

I never expected a well facilitated housing for economical pricing but they made it possible. I loved the way they received me and also my stay in their properties. They made sure that the property was in good condition that I would have comfortable stay during my tenure.

I loved my stay with Derosa properties for the past 2 years. They were always on top of the trash when we had extra. Whenever we needed maintenance done we simply put a request in on tenant cloud and they quickly came to address any issues.

I lived in a DeRosa property for 4 years while I attended Umass Lowell. Great experience overall. Robert is great and super helpful. If you are looking for a place in the Lowell area I would definetly recommend going through DeRosa properties!
Selim Sozmena year ago
Derosa Properties were excellent all around during the 2 years I was a tenant here. They attended quickly to all maintenance needs and were always easily available. During the winter months they shoveled our deck and driveway and landscaped during the summer months. I would definitely recommend using Derosa Properties if you are looking to rent in the area.
Nicole Bruzzese2 years ago
Great rental experience. Appliances were new & apartment was in great condition upon move in. The few maintenance issues I've had were quickly addressed & Robert the landlord has always been easygoing and responsive. Rent has never been raised.

Kylie Conroy2 years ago
Robert who manages my property, is a very stellar and energetic person. He is always one call away and always ready to fix when something goes wrong with the house. We are very greatful of him. And always look forward meeting him. He gave a home away from home.

I lived with my cat at 820 Merrimack this past year as a sophomore at UML, it was great. It's close to the university, well cared for and safely positioned next to the police. Common issues like bugs and washer/dryer stuff were addressed before I'd even notice they were a problem, and every issue I brought up was immediately acknowledged and tended to. This was my first time living alone and the landlord made it very easy for me. Despite the schooling, I lived very peacefully this year- If I weren't transferring, I would've renewed my lease.
Elaina Antoniades4 years ago
I moved into an apartment owned and maintained by DeRosa Properites about 2 years ago. We signed 2 12 month leases with them. If we had any issue or problem we contacted Robert from DeRosa Properties, and he took care of the problem immediately. I can't say enough good things about DeRosa Properties, Robby in particular. The rent can sometimes be a little higher than that of other student apartment rentals, but you do get what you're paying for. DeRosa apartments are significantly nicer, coming with new appliances, hardwood floors, and full size bathrooms. If there is any issue with your unit, it'll be taken care of immediately. I would certainly rent from them again if I wasn't moving out of the Lowell area.
Alec Nazzaro8 years ago
From my personal experience, Mr. Robert Barbuto from DeRosa Properties is very friendly and great at helping international students. He helped us settle in and showed us around Lowell, which was very kind. Our place is well-kept and good for students. I really suggest Mr. Barbuto and DeRosa Properties to any student seeking a home away from home.
Nikhil Dodda2 years ago
They are now an asset to this neighborhood, they have quieter renters. They are very helpful to us in the winter with plowing for us and they help us with maintenance occasionally. Steve is a good guy and his workers are nice too. We are grateful for their help.
Carol Bert2 years ago
As a tenant, I am very happy with everything. The DeRosa team is extremely responsive and attentive. I had my refrigerator replaced by the maintenance guys VERY quickly and they even took my trash out on their way out!
Candice Proulx5 years ago
During a three year stay in a DeRosa Properties residence, my roommates and I had very few problems. The small minor things, such as a sink leaking, were handled promptly and without hassle. We were handed the residence in "like-new" good condition, clean and undamaged. The residence was quite large for the rent we paid, had a front and back porch, small yard, and even a shed, which was very useful for bike storage. The hardwood floors were some of the most level in Lowell. The house had central air, well insulated windows and doors, and energy efficient fixtures. As for the employees that we came in contact with, we were always treated fairly, professionally, and with respect. I would highly recommend DeRosa for a Lowell apartment or home rental!

As a tenant at De Rosa property now l live knowing that l am fearless here knowing that Robert and the Maintenance Team Frank in particular Who l got to know pretty well are amazing people they make sure u don't have a bad experience here with them and slam lords is never the case here honestly they have a lot of respect and care towards their tenants and l love that. Mostly in Lowell you will not fine anywhere like it. The property is very modern and up to date very clean and well care for. Lowell is not 100 percent the best place to live at but trust me De Rosa property is one of many hit or miss Jewel — it's a great find. Thank You Robert you are the best landlord l will never find again u are the best out here always doing ur best to help.

I lived with Derosa for 6 years in multiple properties and it was for a reason! Rob and his henchmen truly cared about us not just as tenants but as people as well. Whether it was flexible move in/move out dates or special circumstances, they were always so considerate and helpful. Rob is incredibly caring and we were so sad to be moving but grateful to have had those years with him!

I had the pleasure of being one of Robert's tenants for the past five years, and I can't thank him enough for the great experience my roommates and I had. He was a wonderful landlord who always went out of his way to help us however he could. We lived at three different properties with him, and leaving the last one was definitely bittersweet. Very grateful for my time there!
