An Ideal Apartment Home
September 18, 2015The apartments are gorgeous and the views to downtown and the riverfront are stunningly beautiful year round. Management is professional and prompt with business issues, maintenance handles service calls within 24-48hrs, and the janitor does an excellent job at keeping the building well groomed, inside and out. This is not just another downtown property, it's a home. I'd recommend this property to even the pickiest of renters! Apt. 410Review from Apartments.com
The Lamson Buillding
July 28, 2015I live in a building were everything is convenient from going down stairs to the resturant to have drinks with your friends or even order food when your feeling lazy in don't feel like cooking. Feeling Out of shape? Well there's a work out room open 24 hours. Need computer access but don't have a laptop or don't even feel like being bother at the library? There's also a computer room. You know how some apartments have 2 Dryers and 2 washers? Not the Lamson building they have plenty. The people ...here are also friendly stay giving in welling to help sometimes I feel like our Building is one big family. Hmmmmm Something like The Lamson Family.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com

May 13, 2014i havent moved in but i love the service their people wereso nice and gave tons of smiles thought i didnt like how loud it was over all it was goodReview from Apartments.com
Low Budget apartments
August 1, 2014I was not told when signing my lease that this was a totally non smoking building. After I had moved in is when I was told to sign about it. I was not happy since I am a smoker. You have to go outside to smoke and then have to listen to the business's in the building complain about it and the guy who owns one of the business's is even a smoker. As far as the apts. they are very nice and worth the money since you do have computers and a gym to use. The parking garage is kind of nice since you ...never have to remove snow. They do have a hard time keeping a maintenance person on staff. You do have a lot of special needs and senior renters.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
Very nice apartment building with all the extras!
March 25, 2013I loved, loved, loved this apartment! Unfortunately I did not qualify as I make a little more than 30 thousand a year. The building has been decorated nicely with beautiful rooms within. Each apartment we looked at was not a "cookie cutter" of each other and it would have been easy to find one that would have fit our needs. Bonus were the extras in the computer room, the lounge, the huge room with many washers and dryers, and especially the storage units in basement at no charge to the renter. I ...would only say that parking would have been a problem. It would be a perfect place for someone looking for an "urban" setting with bus service convenient to them.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
