But I just wanted to let you know at RCA, that I highly recommend you to see the apartments there for anyone looking for a place to live for a while. So much to do there, and the grounds are well-kept and beautiful. Have a great day, K.

Hopefully this is my last review ever of this place…read more Last review I gave the rental office credit. I now take that credit back As a have had changes in employees.... Last post I wrote about how awful one of the neighbors were. It only got worse--in addition to the things I wrote previous, the adolescent boy who lives upstairs broke in to my mailbox leaving a bag of dog feces, spit on my door, flattened 4 of my tires (including my neighbors) smeared feces on my neighbors wheelchair, grabbed and shook his crotch at a 3 little girls age 3 to 8. And most recently $2300 worth of damage to my brand new car... When you call the rental office, it only escalates the situation or They don't want to deal with that and tell you to call the police.....Then you have to wait for the police to show up (sometimes up to an hour) only for them to tell you "there's nothing they can do without evidence". I installed cameras but was demanded to take them down. So if you plan to move here please be aware there are no security guards and there are no cameras, And you are not allowed to have a camera pointed at your car or in/at common areas--- so anything can happen.... Last straw for me was when the officer who responded to my most recent incident stated that "she responds here all the time for things like this" The rental office made it seem like the issues I was having were my fault. They offered to move me to another apartment come up at claimed I would probly have the same issues no matter where they put me. Would also cost me to move to another apartment - - or offered to let me break my lease for a huge fee A gentleman at Picerne was kind enough to let me out of my lease after hearing how terrible things have gone, That I had contacted an attorney, and have a friend who works at WJAR. The apartments themselves are pretty nice, amenities are great, the fact you can have a pet is wonderful.... That's kind of where it ends.

There is a reason they'll only show you a model apartment before you move in, it's because the one…read moreyou move into will have a decades worth of barely covered damages on every surface. 1000 layers of paint over everything, paint drips everywhere. We even had some unrepaired holes inside closet walls and doors. Super old inefficient AC and the loudest dishwasher in the world. Only put up with for 4 years out of sheer laziness. Lots of (sometimes bad) neighbors moving in and out every 6 months. my last 2 neighbors were young people who didn't realize that this isn't student housing and they aren't suppose to openly smoke weed, and run up and down the stairs at maximum volume, and play loud bassy music any time 24/7. One of them even moved a dog into this non-dog building. On plus side: The grounds are beautiful and exteriors are well maintained.

I recently moved up here and was unable to see the apartment before my move, I was nervous but the…read morestaff at Fairfax calmed my nerves. The complex is great and the townhome I am in offers the perfect space for 2 people. The kitchen was updated and the appliances work well. We are walking distance from a few restaurants, a Wal-Mart (which is perfect when you need 1 or two things but don't want to drive to the grocery store). I just wish we had washer & dryers in the units instead of a onsite laundry mat but I am glad I chose Fairfax Village to live at.

Now when we had the appointment t to go see this townhouse (which was beautiful I will not lie) they were in touch with us and very into making sure we would show up, made sure we liked the place gave us all the details on how much, the complex Etc etc. HOWEVER that spunky little realtor and her "manager " whatever she is did NOT disclose no mater how you pay the deposit that you will receive a check if your application gets denied. Also they did state many times that we should be fine because there was one person applying out of three of us who's credit wasn't so great about more than 10 years ago because of the fact they have basically cleaned it up and it's clear they're improving. Anyway what upsets me is you don't give us all the details about the deposit but you hounded us to give you the money. How do you know that we can afford to just lose that $300? Luckily I can wait for this to come in the mail but WHO WANTS MONEY TO BE MAILED TO THEIR FRONT STEP ANYMORE? it would just have been common courtesy to let us know what can and will happen if there was a denial. I don't appreciate them building our hopes up and keeping certain things from us. I feel like if I'm giving you my money then you're obligated to give ME all the ins and outs on this process which they did not. That's sneaky and I'm not ok with that. Took a lot in me not to rip her a new one over the phone and took a lot more for me not to go down there and speak to "Fred" my damn self . This is my opinion and I suggest any not so nice comments about it not be said, everyone has different experiences and this was mine.

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.

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.

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.
