STAY AWAY

I lived in the Sheffield Lofts for a year. Great location, horrible management.
Expect the management to take you for every possible nickel they can. I found that they charged and fined the maximum for any infractions they could by law. While living here, I became a great student of tenant law. When writing to or calling to the management, be sure to use the phrases "legally obligated" and "I could break my lease if you don't fix this," if you want this company to fix ANYTHING. The unit I rented had furnace problems in winter that they ignored until I threatened to legally break my lease.
Management was also particularly bad about showing our unit. Management would routinely show up in the middle of the day without calling while my wife was working from home. Greatly inconveniencing her.
I was lucky enough to get my security deposit back, but only through repeated harassment. Even then, they mailed the security deposit... to the Sheffield Lofts. Not the new address that I gave them, but instead mailed my security deposit to their own building. That's how incompetent this management company is.
Seriously, the loft idea is cool, but in reality it's not that cool. You think you'll get used to the train noise, but you won't. The red line noise goes all night. Don't get suckered in by the loft aesthetics... these apartments suck. Stay Away.
