We've lived here for almost 3 years and really enjoyed our time here. Beautiful rooftop, exposed brick with high ceilings and amazing location. For the most part it's pretty quiet outside, the walls and ceilings seem really good as noise from other apartments was typically not a problem. Maintenance was absolutely incredible--by far the best and most knowledgable and friendly maintenance staff either of us have ever experienced from an apartment before; we had a few occasional minor issues during our 3 years of living here, and issues were always addressed promptly and really professionally. We will honestly really miss living here, but we've outgrown our 1 bedroom apartment and were lucky enough to find a house in this difficult housing market :) . Lofts of GR was truly a perfect place for a first home for me and my husband after I moved back to Grand Rapids. The staff at Lofts of GR has always super flexible and friendly and we have really had the best experience here. I know we will miss the location and our cozy apartment on the river! Highly recommend if you work downtown--it's been the perfect location for me as a healthcare worker during the pandemic! only a 2 minute commute to Butterworth and 10 minutes to blodgett hospital. We will miss it here!
