PEERLESS Firstly,…read morelet me say that I've only lived here about a week. So far, I've had more pros than cons. Pros: Staff is very friendly, and always willing to help with whatever issues I may have. Security is good, and you never worry while coming home late. It's simply a beautiful building with a very interesting past. It used to be a club that would play some real headliners. My apartment is spacious and bright, with original floors and all. Cons: It's very noisy on weekends (but of course it would be as any place would that's surrounded by bars) The windows (this is a personal issue, and not something that is really a complaint) I'm short. Opening those windows were a real struggle and now I can't close them because I can't reach. This mean's I'll have to call maintenance for a ladder each time I want them opened or closed. The food dispenser was clogged and the washer was filthy, again a personal problem because they offered to clean and fix everything before I moved in but I chose to move in sooner rather than later, not giving them time to fix the issue. The only real issue I have is that there are fruit flies in my apartment and they are PERSISTENT. Having worked in the bar industry for five years, you'd think I would be able to get rid of them but they just keep breeding. I don't know if this is a maintenance issue that I can call them on, or if I have to call some form of pest control. The only reason it bothers me so much is because my kitchen is always clean, and yet they are just here. I hate that they keep getting into my cat's food when I leave it out for her. ALL IN ALL, I would def recommend the peerless building for anyone wanting to be downtown.

The WiFi quality and A.C. both work really well- which is super important when you're trying to get a bunch of work done! I think the design is really intentional and beautifully restored and I noticed a ton of original pieces of machinery and decor reused from the original factory. The gal Sara(h?) that manages the property has been so amazing with answering my questions and even letting me in when I forgot my key card! A new bar, Far West, just opened next to the coworking space- I plan on stopping in all the time!! Thanks for existing, Rooms & Works!!

This has got to be one of the most beautiful rehab projects I have seen of an old factory building…read more What was once an old manufacturing building is now a shared office space/incubator kitchen/speakeasy bar/apartment space. There are so many surprises within this one building. A bunch of apartments above, the shared office space and incubator kitchen on the main level. A bocci ball court, cornhole, grill and picnic tables in the courtyard. There is also another building out back that is not currently being utilized but is another amazing (small) space for something amazing once they figure out its intended purpose. My favorite part is the amount of items they salvaged during the rehab. From machinery to metal drawers, they incorporated as much as they could into the overall aesthetic of the place. Kudos to a great job and preserving such a hidden gem.

Elevators not inspected and fail often. Trach chutes have been inaccessible for almost a year, and no accountability no matter what the issue is. If you like roughing it or living in continued chaos; this is the place for you. Has gone way downhill, and tenants rights are constantly being infringed on. Not safe for the elderly. Management issues threats to tenants on a regular basis that keeps people on edge, frustrated, and depressed regarding secure housing. STAY AWAY!!!!! Kindness, accountability, and professionalism could help greatly, but you won't get it here! SLUMLORDS from the regional manager (Cole) her boss and down to the entire First Realty Management!!!! The church would and should be embarrassed if they knew how horribly the tenants are treated... This place only makes tough times, even tougher... No one needs that!!!!!

Right off the bat, I have had an amazing experience with Stephanie in the main office, she is so sweet and helpful in getting all the paperwork situated and helping us through the process of the rental application. The apartment building itself seems clean and secure - a huge security upgrade from our current residence. I love that there is a free gym and secure package system as well. And the fact that all utilities are included (except internet/cable) is amazing!! This place has residents that have lived there for decades which makes me feel more secure about the situation if people want to stick around for that long. All in all I recommend this place so far!!

His knowledge of the Providence market is outstanding as well as his professionalism and network of buyers and sellers. While he is young and determined he is well regarded in the community.

He was very receptive to our needs and wishes and showed us many properties that were in our price range and size range. When we picked a property and closed on it, he was there for the inspection, the walk through, the closing, etc. We encountered a small hiccup right before closing. Jacob was a strong advocate for us and helped resolve the situation to our satisfaction. The next time you need a real estate professional, I would highly recommend Jacob. He has it all: the skills, expertise, patience, and know-how to get you into or out of a home.

Absolutely beautiful loft apartments, Huge, clean and you can easily fall in love with them. From…read morethe HUGE windows, to the exposed brick.... what is not to love? We quickly put in our application and $500 deposit. Upon returning home I decided to do a bit of research to see what others had to say, or read about what past tenants thought... What we found was mortifying, from issues with trash, to the employees running the place, to noise issues and written warnings, to the issues with parking and safety and the amount of cars that are jacked up on cinder blocks, to the issues with owing more at the end even after they eat your entire deposit up.... We sadly could not move forward with the lease and decided that it was best to forfeit the $500 than to sign ourselves up for a year or more of misery. I am sure there are some happy tenants out there but the amount of unhappy paints a clear picture for me. Loft living is not for me and I am thankful to have gone thru this process to learn that.

Charged us 1,600 dollars upon move out with a threat to take us to collections if not paid in 30 days -- that portion was highlighted for our benefit. Mind you we always paid our bills on time and complained about nothing. There is nothing exceptional about this place. They are charging people upon move out to upgrade things in their units. That is the only reason I could think of it. They will send you numerous, somewhat incoherent pictures to support their claims. AVOID. Also, they regularly remove reviews from Google. So, just ask yourself the question why that is true?

Independence Place has paper thin walls, and you can hear everything your upstairs neighbor is…read moredoing. I have lived here for almost 2 years, and it has been an absolutely terrible experience. If you value sleep, peace, and quiet, then consider viewing another apartment in Cranston or Warwick. My dog is terrified, and she always stays in her crate (which she never would do before we moved here). The property managers, Katie and Crystal, can only do so much about noise complaints, that you are left on your own trying to resolve them. Save yourself a big burden and headache and look for another apartment. Edit in Response to Property Management: We have been complaining about the noise for almost two years now to no avail. I have a laundry list of messages to Crystal about how loud and disruptive it has been for us, and she has done nothing about it. It is not a little noise, it is a lot of noise. This is coming from someone who is a combat veteran and who currently works in the healthcare field, and who deals with noise on a regular basis. I also never acknowledged that Crystal has taken any of our complaints seriously, and she most likely will not take anyone else's complaints seriously. My point still stands: do yourself a favor, ignore the PR message from Crystal, and look elsewhere.

We've had several "domestic disturbances" that have required the police to be called. When we reached out to the staff about it, we were told "that Independence Place cannot guarantee anyone's safety". The staff in general is very nice and probably the only bright spot of this place. Our entire apartment reeked of cigarettes when we moved in, there's no lights in the ceilings, my girlfriend has been cat called in the hallways, food smells from other units carry throughout the entire apartment building, etc. Parents let their kids play in the parking lot. Repairs are done in a timely fashion but the same repair often has to be done several times. They ran a hard credit check on me a month AFTER I moved in.

The apartment itself is appealing but the walls are paper thin. You can hear your neighbors getting intimate every night and even hear them sneeze & pick up phone calls. Very awkward and uncomfortable knowing you are being listened to by neighbors 24/7. My car was broken into parked off valley and they did absolutely nothing. They claimed they didn't have access to camera footage 2 days from when the incident occurred. They do not have functioning cameras (all for show) so don't depend on your safety being valued. I transferred apartments two times and was charged excessive fees for "damages" that were almost non existent. Don't expect to get your deposit back in full as they will always find something to charge you for. Slight scratches on the stove and was charged almost full price to replace the stove. i highly doubt they changed the stove top for the next resident and left it as is... even though they charge for complete replacement. When i moved in initially, there were already slight scratches on the stove top.... Your deposit WILL BE stolen from you. parking is an absolute nightmare, expect to play an aggressive game everyday of getting home as early as possible to be able to park your car nearby before the lot gets full and your stuck walking 5+ minutes to your apartment. packages were also stolen from amazon locker area a few times, again.... "camera footage nonexistent"... Pretty to live in temporarily but definitely not safe or practical.

I lived at Locomotive Works Apartments/RubberLofts in 2022, in a 4 bedroom/2bath apartment and I…read morewould not recommend this property based on my experience. During my time there, security was a major concern. My car was stolen from the parking lot, taken for a joyride, and crashed. At the time, the property advertised security, but there was only one security vehicle covering multiple parking areas, which did not feel sufficient and the cameras were bot helpful at all. The walls were also extremely thin. We could hear neighbors clearly, including conversations, children playing, and other intimate noises. It made the apartment feel like it had very little privacy. The appliances were another issue. The dishwasher in particular was unreliable, and maintenance had to be involved repeatedly. Eventually, it felt easier to handwash dishes than keep dealing with the issue. So understand that if you're impressed by appliances. Shiny means nothing. The amenity spaces, including the game room and theater room, were not consistently well maintained. The theater room was fun to use, but residents were expected to bring their own vacuum from their apartments to clean it afterward, which felt inconvenient and poorly planned. I personally felt they should leave a vacuum in the theater room since the maintenence closet was right there, lugging around a vacuum across a parking lot is not luxury living in my opinion. My biggest concern is with the office/accounting side. I am currently dealing with a collection account for over $6,000 that I disputed. I have not lived there since 2022, and my rent was paid at the time I moved out. Near the end of my lease, the property attempted to pursue an eviction using information which to me looked like they mixed up my account with another tenant's acct. The court case was dismissed. Despite that, years later, this alleged balance was sent to collections and is now affecting my credit. I am currently disputing it and requesting full documentation showing how this balance was calculated and why they believe I am responsible for it. Which is incredibly stressful to be dealing with this place after all these years. Its shameful for them to be this committed to their lack of organization and professionalism. Esp considering how good of a tenant I was. Based on my experience, the property was poorly managed, disorganized, unsafe, and stressful to deal with long after moving out. I strongly recommend that anyone considering living here reconsider your options. But if you must see for yourself keep copies of every lease document, payment confirmation, court record, move-out document, and all communication with the office. This place felt like nothing more than a money grab.
