Great for a Short Amount of Time
The employees work really hard to make things comfortable for you and they try to keep up with everyone's concerns. live as high as you can. first floor residents have way more problems than the top floor residents. and get a street side apartment over an inner apartment. the gym is always empty when i go. main problem is noise between the floors/ceilings. the floors a really thin so you can hear a lot of what goes on above you or below you. not really a problem if you or your neighbor is never home.

All it's got is its looks
So, the building says its non smoking, however when I moved into the building it reeked of pot and cigarettes. We have spent the last few months repeatedly washing the floors, which probably haven't been washed since they became apartments. Cigarette smoke is pumped through the vents on a regular basis and the administration does nothing to stop it. I had to buy a fancy filter to even try and combat the smells so that I wasn't always running 5 wall plugs. The $200 filter I bought is the only thing that has worked. Also, Maintenace is overwhelmed by the amount of work orders and so it takes an exceptionally long time to get anything fixed. The hallways are not always clean, and people's animals are constantly going to the bathroom in the elevator and at least one elevator is always broken. It also doesn't feel like the safest apartment, especially when you first move in. However, it has beautiful wood floors and brick walls as well as huge windows that create an aesthetic I love. Also, the staff is in generally very nice and the appliances that come with the apartment are in fairly good shape. However overall if moving wasn't such a hassle I would definitely be moving.

Good Apartment, Good Location
My experiences overall have been very good. My apartment is airy with a great loft vibe and massive windows. My roommate and I each have our own bedroom and bathroom, and living with someone else defrays a significant amount of the cost. Management and maintenance are on-site and very responsive, and fix any issues we have promptly. I also love having washer/dryer in-unit.
The only issues I've had are some noisy neighbors and false alarms on the building fire system, resulting in some unneeded evacuations in the middle of the night.
Overall, I've been happy with my experience.

Downtown Reviews
As a young woman, I don't feel safe walking alone downtown after sunset. I have a couple night classes, but I carpool w friends.
I love the green space downtown though; the arch and City Garden are perfect for walking/running. Ultimately, I'm happy I chose to live downtown bc it helped me connect to SLU's community better, but I wish I would've been prepared to drive/uber more when I wanted to do fun things .
