I loved these apartments, until I couldn’t. Management was irresponsible, and it caught up to them by the current condition: roach infestation. Stay away from metro lofts

Unclear when dealing with tenants, expect extra surprise fees due to their lack of communication. Poor maintenance on the property with unprofessional management.
