What Residents Say

Lofts on Main attracts students drawn to its downtown Tobin Hill location and amenities, with several staff members earning genuine praise for going the extra mile. However, persistent pest infestations, management instability, and sudden utility bills undermine the experience for many who stay longer than a lease or two.

When management shows up (names like Auggie, Jesus, Brawn, and Maria recur in positive updates), repairs happen and residents feel heard. The property manager shuffle from RPM to Mox, then again afterward, has left some residents frustrated by phone tag and rude responses. Internet speeds fall far short of advertised gigabit service, and some discover parking and utilities are extra charges not mentioned upfront.

  • friendly, helpful staff (named individuals)

Common Renter Questions

What is included in rent at Lofts on Main?
Fitness center and pool access are included. However, parking and utilities (water, electric, common-area electricity) may be extra charges not always disclosed upfront; contact the office for current rates.
Is internet reliable for remote work?
No. Residents report advertised gigabit speeds fail to deliver, with typical real-world speeds under 1 Mbps despite repeated service calls. The office defers to Spectrum and does not intervene.
How quickly does maintenance respond?
Varies. Some repairs are same-day or quick; others wait days or are marked complete without being done. Response quality depends on which staff member is assigned.

River House Apartments

4.0(166)✓ Google-verified

River House's appeal rests on its walkable Downtown location and upscale amenities, but recent reviews reveal a sharp decline since new management took over roughly a year ago. Residents praise the leasing agents Jackie and Marina when accessible, and the pool and gym when working. However, a wave of one-to-two-star reviews document management's failure to respond to maintenance requests, security gaps (expired fire alarms, non-functional locks and cameras), and predatory move-out billing that affected residents' credit. The property appears split between an earlier era of care and a current cycle of avoidance. Reviewers consistently report calls and emails screened by AI and routed nowhere, broken garage doors and elevators left unfixed for nearly a year, and move-out charges billed despite management walkthrough assurances. One tenant faced a $600 collection hit after disputing $713 in alleged cleaning and paint charges. The location and physical plant remain assets, but the management change has eroded trust faster than repairs have been made.
