The Lofts at Abigail Vare

There are innumerable problems with this building and the individual units. The management's strategy is to blame the tenant for maintenance needs and charge them for it because their contractors didn't handle the renovations properly. Management is unprofessional and indifferent to the needs of the tenants.

Just to name a few, the entire first floor constantly smells like garbage due to a poorly constructed internal garbage chute system. The keyless door system is barely functional and... leaves the doors open and/or unlocked at all hours of the day. The windows were poorly installed and will leak water during rain. The windows also let in a large amount of outside air, causing very high energy bills.

It really is a shame because there is certainly a lot of potential for this property to be a great place to live, but it's managed by just another unethical company that only cares about locking you into a lease. For the amount of money they charge, you can find much better options in the area and other parts of the city. Save your money and time, and look elsewhere for comfortable housing. Read More

HowProperties manages this building, and it has been nothing less than a nightmare working with them. If you like privacy, this company is not for you. On numerous occasions, employees have entered our apartment without notice or a knock. This is incredibly uncomfortable, as you can imagine. Myself, and other neighbors, have had to install security cameras in our units as a result. If you like a company that doesn't respond when you have an issue for over week, then you are in luck, they don't... care about you once you are locked into a lease. They installed a trash chute without insulating the room where it is collected, so the whole building smells like trash every day. While the complex is beautiful and may strike you as luxury, AVOID unless you are comfortable with a lack of management. Read More
