NO BETTER PLACE TO LIVE - amazing location, staff and apartments. I live on the top floor and having a loft in our apartment has been the best. Love the view from our balcony and the whole place is very new and spacious. Great for game days and being close to campus and College town, 10/10 recommend.

New resident at the Lofts, met the owner Tony today. He was very reassuring and an amazing guy, extremely nice. Definitely one of the best spots to live in Tallahassee. The rent prices are insanely well balanced compared to other apartments around this area. Additionally, the apartments are much nicer than any others I have seen here. Would 100% recommend if you are able to find availability.
