Grand Riverside

We love living in this building. For the price of a one bedroom apartment, we functionally got a full office room as well and a layout that feels more like a house than an apartment. The unit has nice matching appliances, huge windows that fully open, and beautiful exposed brick. Good storage spaces (closets with real shelving, lots of places to put our stuff). C Good ceiling fans that really move air around in several rooms. Units hold heat well, we barely run the furnace in the winter unless… the temperatures are below 20 outside. Other reviews mention poor sound proofing, this is pretty true, however the building is quiet and it has never created an issue for us. We have also never had any issues with sending or receiving mail. Finally management here although almost never being face to face has been highly responsive to maintenance requests we've made and overall easy to work with (including extending a lease to us with a poor credit situation). Best of all it's so easy to get around, tons of things to walk to, over 24 buses an hour run on Water Street, and a bike share station is about a block away. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this building. Read More

Arrived to move in and the elevator was not working, we were not warned and had to carry furniture up stairs. Sound insulation is awful, can hear coughs, full conversations from people below and above units. Rocks falling from ceiling. Being blamed for noise complaints that weren't us. Package in stuck mailbox for weeks. AC unit is extremely loud. Heat in winter is terrible. Zero face to face communication. Horrible.

On one hand, the location and overall layout of the units are everything you could ask for in Third Ward living. On the other, the walls/ceilings are so thin and the hardwood floors are so creaky that you can hear every one of your neighbor's conversations and footsteps. To top it off, management was unresponsive to requests and would routinely accuse the wrong tenants for noise complaints due to a lack of presence in the building. For the price, don't live here.
