Art bloc has been a great place to live! The building is beautiful and in a great location so close to the downtown. I’ve had a great experience with the property manager Taylor and I would recommend this complex to anyone looking to rent in the downtown area!

The people at Art Bloc have been nothing short of great with me. Any questions I've had or concerns they have helped me and found a solution effectively and efficiently. I just moved from Alaska and am very fortunate to have found this place! Adam has been first class and the building is nothing short of great! Would recommend to anyone looking for a place in waterloo.

High rent, trash all over garage, weeds and dead grass outside. Frequent inspections, with 24 hour notice. Management will answer you and tell you that they are working on the issues. I’ve been here two months and ask them most on a daily basis to clean up the trash. Nothing happens.

We compared every listing in the surrounding area to determine which amenities are most common. If a building lacks an amenity that most others in the area have, it is a con. If a building has an amenity most others in the area do not, it is a pro. Similarly, price, schools, and size are calculated relative to the size, price, and distance to schools of the other properties nearby.
