I've lived at Mercantile for about 18 months and have no major complaints, I have a 2bed/2bath unit. The views are unbeatable, the lofts are spacious with brand new everything. Counter tops are granite and fridge/washer/dryer/shower is all full size (in my 7 years of Milwaukee apartment-living experience... that is hard to find). There is a basement gym with 2 tvs, 2 treadmills, a bike, an elliptical, and various free weights. There are security cameras on the parking lot & stairways.
Pets are
...allowed, and if you have a dog you know how hard it is to find a place that is both nice and pet friendly(!!) this place meets both of those criteria. This place is about 1 mile from downtown/wisconsin ave in milwaukee and walking distance to a TON of great restaurants and events. Walkable to: MKE night market, FUEL, MOTOR, twisted fisherman, poto, MKE brewing and , purple door, a handful of great mexican places, engine company #3, the national cafe, anodyne coffee, the iron horse hotel bars/restaurants & many more.
The rent is what I would expect for the size, location, amenities, and pet-friendly nature of the building. Parking is also reasonable compared to downtown. I know other reviews are mentioning car break ins... but that is in no way specific to the building or management - its downtown in an upcoming neighboorhood and anyone in the city runs that risk. If you've lived in any major city for any length of time, you know not to leave valuables VISIBLE in your car in order to reduce/eliminate the risk of a car break in.
