An Ideal Apartment Home
The apartments are gorgeous and the views to downtown and the riverfront are stunningly beautiful year round. Management is professional and prompt with business issues, maintenance handles service calls within 24-48hrs, and the janitor does an excellent job at keeping the building well groomed, inside and out. This is not just another downtown property, it's a home.
I'd recommend this property to even the pickiest of renters!

The Lamson Buillding
I live in a building were everything is convenient from going down stairs to the resturant to have drinks with your friends or even order food when your feeling lazy in don't feel like cooking. Feeling Out of shape? Well there's a work out room open 24 hours. Need computer access but don't have a laptop or don't even feel like being bother at the library? There's also a computer room. You know how some apartments have 2 Dryers and 2 washers? Not the Lamson building they have plenty. The people... here are also friendly stay giving in welling to help sometimes I feel like our Building is one big family. Hmmmmm Something like The Lamson Family.
