The ladies at Grand Boulevard Lofts made it feel like home from the moment I went in for my first viewing, through the application process, up to now living in my 2 bed 1 bath loft. They're friendly, open, punctual, and seem to really care about the building as well as the tenant. Fun fact, this building is around a century old! It's so cool.
The loft itself is amazing as well, the layout means there is no waste of the square footage (and there is a lot of it). Everything was clean and pristine
...when I moved in. The windows are huge, providing more natural light than I'd know what do do with. I'll never have to turn a light on during the day, which will no doubt have an affect on my electricity bill.
Speaking of electronics, there are outlets everywhere. I'm able to plug everything in, don't have to make any sacrifices for power. This was a huge disappointment in my last place, particularly the kitchen. I had all of my appliances crammed into a small corner because there was only one usable outlet. And on the kitchen, it's open with more cabinet space and counter space than I've ever had! I'm so glad I'm able to cook without having to scramble to make space as I go along.
My one disappointment, and I wouldn't really call it that, is no washer and dryer in the unit. There is a laundry facility, open 24 hours, but I'm a little lazy, heh. Oh, and the parking. The lot isn't nearby, but if you can snag a spot on the street, you're golden. No major issues with any appliances so far, and I have three ways of letting the office know if anything does go wrong: walking in, calling, and online.
The online gateway allows me to do so much. I'm able to pay rent, put in service requests, print receipts, everything I need to manage my home. I can even make weekly payments on my rent instead of a large sum, making it a little easier on the pocket book.
Also, I LOVE the area! I'm 30 minutes maximum from anywhere in the city. North, south, east, west, it doesn't matter. I'm right up the street from both Power and Light as well as the City Market, and soon only a trolly ride away from other nearby areas like midtown and crown center.
Overall, I'm love this place. I'll probably be here for a very long time.
