Kirby Residences on Main: I Like the Kirby (Recommending!)

2008-04-23T14:00:54-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have a studio loft and I think it's great. The building is, for the most part, kept clean and well-maintained. It's not "luxury", but then I'm not paying a luxury price. Soundproofing is pretty darn good. I can hear sounds in the hallway on occasion, but hardly ever a ... [click to read full apartment review]

Kirby Residences on Main: Unhappy Resident (Not Recommending)

2007-03-05T14:07:21-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I would advise anyone thinking of moving into this buliding, to reconsider.

Kirby Residences on Main: Unhappy Resident (Not Recommending)

2007-01-08T17:19:41-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Anyone considering moving into The Kirby should speak with a current resident first. The management office is completing new lease aggreements without informing residents of the switch to condos. The new developer has obviously poor taste when it comes to design. Beautiful marble floors are covered with hideous carpets, georgeous ... [click to read full apartment review]
