The Lofts at Lea Center

Great apartments!!

This place looks really cool. If you qualify (low income) it seems like a nice option. If you don't mind very drafty windows, an elevator that breaks down occasionally, and a garage door that breaks down every couple of months---this is the place for you! Management is very friendly and probably want these things to change but when stuff breaks down it is very frustrating. Another quirk about this place is the stairwell. They have one nice/carpeted emergency stairwell and one narrow/steep regular stairwell. Neither of these two stairwells connect to the main lobby where the mailboxes and main entrance are. Also, you can't use these as entrances as they don't have a key card.Therefore, if the elevator breaks down and you need to get your mail, you need to go out of the building, back into the building to get your mail, back out of the building, and then back into the building by means of a side door. If it is later in the evening you need to walk to the side of the building, down the parking ramp and back up the stairs. As you can tell, it is very frustrating. I have no idea how the several people with scooters and wheelchairs get around when the elevator goes out.In summary, if you are looking for a clean, large, affordable space with friendly people, can put up with drafty windows, the elevator and garage door breaking down, and don't mind a confusing stairwell system, then this is a great place for you to live.
