Lofts at West Station

Having lived in this unit for almost 2 years, it has been great. Big open living space, decent sized bedrooms, updated appliances. Staff is responsive most of the time for maintenance etc. The building has good common space and gym areas, but they are a little outdated. You have to pay for parking through the city. It is a relatively safe area, just a short walk to the main downtown area. Each apartment is unique, so keep that in mind when selecting your unit. Some units don't have windows directly to outside, but instead to an atrium. The walls can be thin, but residents are respectful of quiet hours. There are pros and cons to every apartment and this complex was perfect for me as a single person living alone with their cat.

Great apartments that vary in size. Some are great, some are just good enough depending on the layout you chose. Some have windows to outside, others do not so be careful in choosing. Cheaper than some other downtown options depending on the unit. I like that I have all hardwood floors and it is a unique/converted building. Management is available and responsive. Free gym access. There is a theater for moving screenings, but it hasn't been used in a few years thanks to COVID. Easy walk to city parking garage. Secure entrance. Walls can be thin, but the community is generally respectful. Very pet friendly. Close to restaurants and breweries. Really good option for medical students!

Overall, management has been good. Only issue I had was moving in - I moved in on a Saturday so no one was present to let me in or help me find my apartment. Luckily, one of the managers guided me over the phone.

Loved renting from here. The place is a little fancy, definitely not a cheap place, but worth it if you're wanting to treat yourself. But, I felt the amenities and location made it worth it. There's a mandatory 100$+ amenities fee, and it includes Internet, Cable, On-Site Gym, on-site home theater and access to the bike share located literally in front of the building. Not included was parking, though for ~25$/mo you could get a pass at the parking garage located about a block away.
Location wise it's great; located between Beamer's, Tuco's Tacos, and a brewery. That makes it pretty great if you're a grad student getting back from the lab late at night and need to grab a bite instead of cooking. The heart of downtown is about a 10-15 minute walk.
These are lofts, meaning that the floor plans were very open; if you want closet space you won't find it here. The place is built from an old warehouse and has the original lumber. My unit included two wooden beams that ran vertically along the hallway, and I loved the atmosphere it made.
The walls were, unfortunately, a little thin. I could hear my upstairs neighbors vocal performances when they got amorous, and occasionally murmurs of TVs. Another downside is that units along the outer walls, like mine, will have an entire wall that faces either Salem street and all the wonderful noise associated with it, or the literal railroad. Keep that in mind if you're a light sleeper. The benefit to outer walls is gorgeous, huge windows that let in a ton of sunlight (an unfortunately, street light at night).
My unit had a small kitchen that was open to the main living space, which included a mini-dishwasher. I first thought this was cute, and then grew to hate that a single pan took up 1/4 of a load and I ended up hand washing half my dishes. My unit also had a modern in-unit washer and dryer. All appliances were rather new, and worked well. Other than the aforementioned tiny dishwasher I had no issues.
Management was great, and had occasional get-togethers or movie screenings for residents.
The complex requires an electronic key fob to get into the building, which is great for safety. Not so great for delivery.

Overall, decent value for the location. I will say, the rent IS fairly expensive relative to property you can share with other people 10-15 mins away (sometimes as low as $400). Being close to downtown though is really nice.

Parking is located across the street in the parking structure adjacent to the police station. Costs about 25/month. The area is fairly safe but can be poorly lit at night. Thin walls.
