        ATTENTION: My writing of this review was compensated by the Lofts at USC by means of a $10 gift card. Regardless, this review is entirely truthful regarding my experience here, and is by no means influenced by previously mentioned financial compensation.

                The Lofts has the perfect location. The flooring and kitchens are nice, but the bathrooms are awful.

                            The location of the Lofts is very hard to beat, as is their price point for the amenities that they offer with their apartments. However, most of the pros stop there.

The ONLY things that are even remotely good about this place is the on-site parking and the fact that the only competent people here are the maintenance crew.

                                                    Q:Ā Hi my son is interested in leasing an apartment at the Loft near USC, next year starting fall 2023 that would probably be three or four bedroom. Can you tell me when it will become open for him to possibly sign a lease? Just wanted to make sure we didn't miss out on an opportunity. Can you also tell me how much it is for three bedroom versus four bedroom per person. Does this include utilities? Does it include parking? Thank you for the information!
