Market St Lofts

I lived here for about a year and a half. There are pros and cons. The maintenance team and leasing office team are both awesome. They respond quickly and try their best to help. The actual aesthetic of my apartment was super cute. You definitely won’t see a nice picture online and then get there and be shown an ugly apartment. They’re all updated. They are extremely consistent with pest control services as well. As for the not-so-great stuff….the walls are paper thin. And when I say paper thin,… I mean I could hear my next door neighbor clear her throat and it would sound like she was in my room. I called the cops a few times for extremely loud parties being had in the common area downstairs that would literally rattle my furniture and keep me awake on week nights-well into the mornings most times, because my apartment was directly above the common area. It always stinks like trash inside the building because the residents don’t follow the rules of when they’re allowed to place their trash out in the hall so the trash is steaming all day during the summer. Often times I’ll see dog poop or pee on the floor inside the building. It also always smells like weed. If your neighbor smokes your apartment will get hot boxed. The vents are linked in a way that you will smell everything coming through from your neighbor. The loft part of my apartment was a good 5 degrees hotter than the kitchen/living room. Poor venting design I’m assuming, made my electric bill wicked high trying to keep my room cool. The area is also not safe. The price of the unit, plus Wi-Fi, plus electric, plus water isn’t worth living in Petersburg. Think about it before you move here. And if you do, for the sake of everyone else that lives there, don’t smoke in your apartment and respect the quiet hours from 10pm to 7am. A little respect goes a long way. Read More
