TLDR: Pros: Nice apartments, Great management/maintenance Cons: Noise level/thin walls, Amenities still not finished.
City View Lofts is a newly converted apartment complex within a few minutes walk of the James River. The finishes were done quite nicely for the most part. All the units have granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and cool loft features. Some things could have been better such as a larger water heater and closet door handles that don't come out when you pull too hard.
...The gym and game room are both really nice and get used pretty frequently. There's also plenty parking. Management is really nice and helpful when they are available.
My major gripe is how noise travels so absurdly easy here. I'm not sure if it's because of thin walls or the high ceilings from the loft-style apartments. For example, you can easily hear your neighbors' conversations (and make out everything they say) when they are talking at normal levels. Imagine how bad that gets when music is involved. You also hear people walking down the hall, doors closing, dogs, etc. You hear EVERYTHING. I've never lived anywhere with sound issues like this. Also, when we moved in, we were assured that the pool and riverfront park would be done within the next month or so. That date keeps moving back and at this rate I'd be surprised if the pool was done by the end of next summer. We were given permission to use another pool 20 minutes away since a pool is included in our lease agreement, all with no additional guests.
Overall, its a nice place but the sooner the lease is up, the better.
