Apartment Review for Broad Street Lofts - Richmond, VA

I lived here a year ago, and I have to admit that the place is so pretty. I just fell in love immediately. There were wooden floors and a new counter tops and appliances. The problems came immediately after moving in. I found out that the building is infested with silver fish, cockroaches, and centipeds. The 'pest control' people were supposed to come monthly but the bugs just stayed away for about a week or a week and a half and then they returned. The office staff is TERRIBLE. The front desk lady Lynn is mean. She is friendly at first until you have numerous problems because then it becomes like a burden for her. Lindsay the other girl is the only friendly one in the office. The other friendly people have quiet or left because they too knew this was going down hill. Dont expect a quiet apartment either. The walls maybe 'brick' but you can hear your neighbors conversations PERFECTLY! I was able to understand the neighbor above me in great detail. The noise on the weekends is absurd! I cant believe how many people hang out in the small building. AND the 'security' system is a joke. People leave the doors open during nights and on wknds so that anyone can enter. And trust me, the homeless people do enter. I would never ever recommend it, and I truly hope that you will keep looking around. Trust me, they are nice looking apartments at first but then the trouble starts once you sign the lease. :(
