2008-05-30T10:51:17-06:00

From loftsatHellwalk: There is something to be said about an apartment that has the ability of making you dread going home from work. YES, everything is wonderful when you first move in.

Lofts at Canal Walk: Slums of Shockoe Bottom (Not Recommending)

2007-08-15T08:30:46-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This apartment complex is in serious decline. I'm not sure why they are building additional apartments because they can't maintain their current units.

2008-03-20T08:12:08-06:00

2007-02-02T13:24:19-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Although I've never actually lived here, I did view an apartment with the intention of living here.

2006-03-13T17:05:49-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The other reviews say it all -- the razzle dazzle stops the second you sign the lease. The biggest problems I have found are with the office staff.

2006-03-11T12:06:21-06:00
