“When my fiancé and I were forced to find a new place to live, we looked at so many and could not find something that was very good, nor worth the crazy money that rent costs now. Until we found Country Manor! The location itself is a huge win, but on top of that, the apartments are super cute and the perfect size. Rebecca was SO unbelievably kind and helpful throughout the whole application process, which was pretty hectic for us with my fiancé starting a new job shortly after. She helped in every way she possibly could, and knew exactly how to keep us positive in times of anxiousness. Move in was just as smooth as application, and Rebecca was just as helpful. Tim, the maintenance man, is also very pleasant to have a visit from! Overall, I could not recommend Country Manor more, and we are SO happy and relieved to be able to call this place our home!!”
“Vernon Gardens is I really nice facility. It is super clean and the staff are always available to fix or replace anything. If need be as soon as possible really nice pool. It’s open during the summertime and a nice walking trail in the back. The owner is very humble understanding. The facility is also off of a main road, but still allows you privacy being that the apartments are tucked away in the back highly recommended”
“This used to be nice but since Sue left it has gone downhill. The staff has no consideration for their renters and now they always want into you apartment and dictate anything you do. We have no privacy anymore.”
“My husband and I are very happy here. We live in the D building (27 Lyman St) and the industrial style in our 2br/1ba unit is really charming: high ceilings, exposed details, brick walls, massive screened windows (~54in x 91in in our unit), and good noise isolation from the outside and other units. So far, seems like our neighbors are pretty cool. The laundry app is very convenient.
Today, I put in a maintenance request for our dishwasher through the tenant portal and about 20 minutes later the guy had come and gone with the appliance running. I’ve never personally lived somewhere with maintenance staff that responsive.
I feel safe in the building given the robust and redundant security features. All of the units at SBL are within walking distance to a lot of great spots, including a bodega and many excellent restaurants and venues for entertainment. Some cute dogs in this building and they’re all friendly.
Our unit faces Union Station, and though we were worried at first about the noise, it’s very minimal and has yet to be anywhere close to a problem. Looking out the window from our unit is cool because we get to see, but rarely hear, the trains going by. It’s a really sweet place to live.
SilverBrick Lofts is a generally well managed property, but the units seem to go fast. We signed our lease “sight unseen” and were not disappointed. We intend to live here as long as they’ll have us, maybe one day upgrading to a 3br unit.
Side note: We have two daughters (2 and 6) and do not get the vibe that this is a bad place to raise them, despite what I’ve read elsewhere and never got a reason about. Sign with confidence if you’re able to get in because they do take care of their tenants, and nothing they told us before we saw the unit turned out to be untrue.”
“Expensive for what it's worth but it is nice. I will say I’ve had a lot of things stolen so lock your car and don't leave stuff outside your door or anything but otherwise it's good.”
