Lake Street Lofts

I started over here From: Joannlee15 Date posted: 5/23/2007 Years at this apartment: 2006 - 2007   Last year I went through a messy divorce and for the first time since right after college, I was seeking an apartment. Actually, my parents did my preliminary search, as I just did not look for ward to doing it. One of the places they found was Lake Street Lofts, and M&D really spoke highly of it. I know it is not right to do, but many leasing people just give you that wierd vibe when you show up to look at a place with children. When I showed up with my four year old daughter, no such reaction here. This was the only one of the larger buildings I looked at in which the actual building manager showed the apartments. I was weary of some leasing agent who promises everything, then turn you over to the manager who denies knowing of the promises. I had this happen to me already when I was a renter in the past. I admit I had some reservations about moving into a converted warehouse, but this place helped me separate from a difficult situation, and especially after talking to other tenants after we moved in, I knew I made the right choice. I took a mid-floor unit that gets great sunlight, and just like the manager said, my heat bill was next to nothing, like $47 in February. But the one thing that made me fall in love with this place was how the building treated the residents at holiday time. Holiday carols played in the lobby and front entrance. Plus they gave out Best Buy cards and a bottle of champaign to celebrate the New Year. What great touches! I have read a few not-so-flattering captions and honestly, I have different views, not to mention this building rates really high not only with reviews on this site, but from people who live here too. My parents are frequent visitors and the manager knows them by name. They still talk about the complimentary parking space he gave them on the occasions when they spent the night here. Most people I have talked to here rave about all the staff members, so I have to say, I agree with them. Though my situation is unique, it feels good knowing that I have a safe, warm home to come to every night. Choosing this apartment was one of the few highlights of 2006 for me, and that is the honest truth.
