We had friends that lived here in the past, called to inquire about availability and possibly a tour.
Talked to Summer, she was super helpful, cannot wait to meet her next week when I tour the apartment.

I am signing on to my boyfriend’s lease and had some questions regarding our contract. Summer was very kind and happy to answer my questions! She also helped me print a very important work document without any hesitation. 10/10 recommend signing here, the staff is always friendly! They even have a fun lounge for residents, events throughout the month, and a cute dog park.

I have interacted with both Bree and Quan while living here, and they have been responsive and receptive to my maintenance requests in a timely manner with good communication throughout. I have been impressed !

Rocket Transfer Lofts is extremely loud building. The noise-rating show on this site is not at all accurate. The trains and motorcycles are piercing. Also, loud tenants, and a lack of sound barriers, often make sleeping impossible. There are a lot of parties, beer cans in the common areas, etc.
The roof area is practically unusable with broken furniture, dirty grills, and broken glass on the ground.
Upon moving in, our kitchen faucet sprayed water onto the floor, the kitchen faucet was... punctured and water sprayed across the room, the washing machine had mold in it, and the dishwasher had many issues that didn't get resolved for many weeks.
The exposed brick looks great, but is constantly crumbling onto furniture and creating a mess of dust all over the unit.
There is also mold in the windows on the west side of the building as water often leaks in.
The property management is unresponsive and unwilling to address issues with the unit.
Buyer beware.

If you're looking for that perfect college living experience, this is the place for you! Overpriced, terrible management, ineffective maintenance, no insulation between floors, loud neighbors, parties, poorly maintained common areas, crumbling exposed brick in the units -- Rocket Transfer has it all!
