I lived at the Factory for two years. I can’t speak more highly of it. It’s a perfect location in the heart of Manchester. I would strongly suggest looking at this location if you are in the market for an apartment, or if you are looking for a quick stay at the hotel at the factory.

We just moved out after 3 years of living at the factory. We were one of the earliest tenants. It is all brand new everything, with gorgeous brick walls inside and original flooring on some floors. The Factory aims to create a young, cool atmosphere with monthly lobby parties, a community garden, SUPER pet friendly and a super cool young woman Molly as your property manager. She is a text away, and the life of the lobby parties! Here we always felt we were paying good money to be taken care of by a “landlady” that felt more like a friend, as well as a wonderful maintenance man, Matt. As a young woman it’s important to me to feel safe and secure, and Matt is on salary and is the only man you will ever have in your place for maintenance, nothing like most places that just hire random strangers to come into your home. Matt is a text away to fix anything from a dead light bulb to air conditioner maintenance. You will never be neglected here.
We made many friends with neighbors in the fenced in dog area. While Manchester is Manchester, and can be unsafe, at least the property itself is extremely secure, well lit, with dozens of security cameras. Plenty of grassy areas to sit and let your dog sniff. Right across the street is Elm house of pizza, a dive bar with some of the best pizza in Manchester. You can walk to the rest of elm street. The Factory distillery is right in your backyard though, and you can expect regular events there to join in on.
Overall we loved it, we will miss it, and we only left because we are returning to our hometown. I highly recommend this place!

I absolutely loved this place. If I didn't have to move out of the state for the job, I wouldn't leave it. Huge studio with five big windows. Walk in closet. Nice management. Quiet neighbors. Felt absolutely safe there. You can't walk into the building if you don't have the keys. Walking distance to the most destinations. Very nice atmosphere. Really miss it.

I have lived here for a year now and absolutely love my space, the building, and all it has to offer. The property manager is the kindest individual and is here almost every day to say hi, give my dog a treat, and check in with me. The building is very secure and safe and there is constantly some sort of event happening. It is the best place I have ever lived and even though rent is high, it is worth it due to the safety and feeling of home and community that The Factory on Willow has to offer.

I was the first resident to move into this building when it first opened. Mariana is amazing. Exposed brick, brand new appliances and a WALK IN shower!? Amazing!
Gym and laundry on site. Fenced in dog area, and a FOOD truck in the parking lot! (SOOO good!) also outdoor sitting areas and all tenants are super friendly. Never have trouble finding parking or noisy neighbors. Huge mill windows with great natural light. Sad to be moving from this apartment and if I wasn’t moving out of state I’d stay as long as I can. Thank you Mariana and The Factory team for a wonderful experience!

We had our wedding here and it was gorgeous. Lots of compliments from the guests, lots of places for our guests to go, and the AirBnB’s were excellent. Clean, accommodating, everything you need for a smooth wedding day. We had a hiccup a couple weeks ahead of the wedding (a misunderstanding with our timeline) and they were amazing about it and made it right.

I was surprised to find this gem of a space so close to downtown Manchester. We had a team event here today. Clean and versatile space. There are beautiful Air BNB units here as well. I’ll be back!

The absolute best place I have ever lived! Not only are the apartments, beautiful and well-maintained. The staff are absolutely the heart of the property. Molly is so fabulous and will take care of any inquiry in a timely manner and prioritizes residents. Best personality for working with people! Matt is able to fix any issues that arise and right away without ever having to ask a second time. He is literally the best! Marlana puts her all in hosting the most unique and beautifully run events. She is so genuine and makes you want to get involved and love the venue as much as she does. If I was not moving out of state, I would’ve definitely stayed. So thankful for this team and for the opportunity I had to live at the apartments there. If you are looking for a place to live in the Manchester area, this is the absolute best choice!
