Let me be clear: this place does have the potential (keyword: "potential") to be a really awesome…read moreplace to live. Physical quality of the apartments are great for the price; I'm a huge fan of the exposed brick we have in our apartment. Really, really spacious, decent enough furniture included, electric oven, microwave, even a dishwasher. Plenty of counterspace and a decent size island countertop. All utilities and internet service included in rent. Or so they say. Yeah, sure, technically, "internet service" is included, if you can even call it that. If you come to live here, you should treat it as if no internet service is included at all. For starters, the network is COMPLETELY UNSECURED. Probably half the surrounding neighborhood is on it using bandwidth that we're supposedly paying for with our rent. When we moved in, none of the ethernet jacks in our apartment had a connection, and it took literally almost 2 months of constant pestering the building management to get it fixed. Then, when you are lucky enough to even have a connection at all, most of the time your average download speed is somewhere in the ballpark of 10-100 Kb/s (yes, Killobits), which for those of you who don't know, is unusably slow. It takes almost 2 full minutes to load a Google Image search result page. You can only stay connected to the network for a few days at a time, and then you'll get a "Your connection is not private" quarantine warning if you try to navigate to any website. If you go into advanced settings and choose "I understand, proceed anyway", you'll arrive at an authentication page for "The Lofts at Ribbon Place Wi-Fi" (it says Wi-Fi even if you're on ethernet), where you can choose to "sign in" to the free Wi-Fi which promises download speeds of 2 Mb/s (which is still really, really slow), a promise it fails miserably to keep. You're lucky if you get 500 Kb/s. Frankly, I think that their touting that "internet is included with rent" is misleading, and even borderline lying, and for that reason I feel that this establishment has stolen money from me in the form of failing to fulfill their responsibility to provide a usable internet connection as per the lease agreement; I have repeatedly made this clear to the management, and have received no response other than being shrugged off and ignored. The Lofts management continually tries to take advantage of me because I'm only 21 years old by essentially not fulfilling their responsibilities as a landlord. I would absolutely not recommend the Lofts at Ribbon Place to anyone; I feel that they're getting away with borderline stealing by taking advantage of relative youth and naivety of college students.

The ribbon place apartments is a pretty good place to live at, especially for the price it offers,…read morethe room is pretty good and all the kitchen is pretty nice, and the great thing is that all the use of the utilities are included in a nice little package, your monthly rent pays for the electric and other stuff which is pretty awesome. The people here are pretty nice, the management here is very good and kind which is always a plus and yeah it just has been a pleasant experience living at the ribbon place. But the one thing that I don't like is how easily you can hear people living in the other rooms, and the parties can get really loud and annoying but what can you do, college students like to live it up, and when they do realize that they partied too much they won't be partying anymore, but you can get used to it pretty easily. My overall experience has been very good.

I just moved in this month. I called the maintenance number because my fridge was missing the glass…read moreto the top of the drawers. No more than 2 hours later I got a knock at my door. It was our friendly maintenance man. He asked what the problem was, took the measurements and within 5 minutes I had my glass for my fridge put in. He even cleaned the piece for me. I have never had faster maintenance service in any place I've ever lived. The maintenance man is always friendly and respectful . The complex is well maintained and clean. When I am in my apartment I do not hear anything from my neighbors, TVs or vacuums. So far it is one of the nicest places I have ever lived. Looking forward to many years here. Thank you to all of you who work so hard to keep this place in tip top shape!!
