Lofts on Rose

Blake

What we liked about Lofts on Rose - 55+ Apartment was the people in the building. It was a nice mix of races and income levels. We felt comfortable with the people that we ran into. The person who gave us a tour was fantastic. He gave us a thorough tour, and we saw many apartments. We were just a little concerned about the area. We looked into all that stuff, kind of rightly so, and apparently, there's been an uptick in crime in that area. So, we kind of just put the brakes on that and said we'd keep looking, but they were very nice, and the people were great. The amenities were what you would want. They offer meals, but we're not interested in that. They had the usual layout of exercise, library, craft room, and stuff. Then they had many sitting areas that were all easily accessible. It's quite nice. Unfortunately, it's built into the side of a hill so that part of the first floor is underground. That was kind of a non-saleable item for us. We didn't want an apartment that looked out onto a retaining wall, and some of them do. So, we were just kind of like, "Oh, that's maybe not exactly where we want to go." They were working hard to get their stuff together, but it's also a fairly new building. One of the other concerns I had was that in that building, they were requiring that exhaust fans be left on because they're trying to dry out something. That tells me that the way that they built it wasn't quite right, or else they wouldn't be doing that. They had all the exhaust fans in the bathrooms on some kind of a hookup so that they could control them, and then they would come on and off frequently. I didn't like that. It worried me about the construction. They've got some talented people doing sales in these buildings, and they're really good with small talk. They are good at understanding what you need, and they're good at giving you the information you want. That's what the person did there, in a very pleasant way. The facility was also very clean.

We saw Lofts on Rose. What I like least is the area. We're familiar with that area, and it is not safe. We saw a one-bedroom, that was very small, but the two-bedroom was a little bit bigger for a living room and a kitchen area. We liked it better. It had a washer and dryer in the unit, which is a must. Lofts on Rose didn't have a lot else to offer other than the apartments to live in. There wasn't anything offered. They had a room with a table for gatherings, meetings, or something. The staff members were great; they were very good. They don't offer food, though. The building was nice. It was good. It was new. It was quiet, and that's about it.

The tour I had at Lofts on Rose went good. The person who did the tour was quite nice. I didn't see too many other residents around at the time. There were a few people outside, but I didn't know if they lived there or not. The upkeep was good. They were pretty good-sized rooms. They have a gym on the top floor. I was mainly looking for a place that was comfortable and convenient, but the two-and-a-half-hour drive down and two-and-a-half-hour drive back home wore me out.

I visited Lofts on Rose's independent living. Everybody whom I talked to and dealt with was extremely nice, but I know my daughter would freak out if I lived in that neighborhood because it's in a bad one. That was the main problem. It's also a little bit smaller than the other place I visited, but it was still a brand-new and nice facility. It was well-made and well-staffed. They also had a little library. It was just a room where you'd be able to sit and read with a few books.
