What Residents Report

Half the reviews are glowing, half are furious. The divide stems from move-in day: residents who arrived early or on non-bulk dates praise the unit cleanliness, staff like Naomi, Xen, and DJ, and amenities (pool, gym, courts near campus). But August bulk moves brought disaster: hundreds checked in on one day, creating hours-long waits, missing furniture despite paying for furnished units, broken fingerprint scanners, and immediate maintenance crises (flooded apartments, roach infestations) that management failed to resolve.

Management promises followed by no-shows, billing shocks, and unaddressed building issues (broken door locks, unsecured hallways, trash room smells) have eroded trust over time. Long-term residents report that while new management upgraded amenities, security problems and pest control remained endemic even after repeated requests.

Praised for
  • clean and well-maintained units
  • friendly and helpful staff
  • good amenities (pool, gym, courts)
  • close to UT Arlington campus
Watch-outs
  • chaotic and unorganized move-in process
  • poor maintenance response and follow-up
  • broken fingerprint scanners and doors
  • roach infestations and pest control failures
  • surprise charges and billing disputes
responsive-staffmaintenance-issuesclean-well-maintainedunresponsive-managementlong-wait-timesunsafe-conditions
Best for: College students moving outside peak periods and existing residents comfortable with renovation work and eventual service improvements.
Think twice if: Avoid if you need to move in during bulk arrival dates (e.g., August 16); expect long waits, missing furniture, and overloaded management. Building security and pest control remain inconsistent concerns.

What Works Here

  • furnished units with modern kitchens
  • resort amenities (pool, gym, rooftop, courts)
  • proximity to UT Arlington campus
  • individual staff praised by name across reviews

Before You Apply: What To Expect

  • Staff named as standouts: Naomi, Xen, DJ, Abigail, Eryln, Anais, Jacob; others mentioned Chloe and Jake (management).
  • August 16, 2024 move-in: 400+ residents in one day led to 3+ hour check-in waits, broken fingerprint scanners, missing furniture, and flooded units.
  • Fully furnished units advertised but residents moved into empty apartments and waited for furniture delivery that didn't arrive on promised timelines.
  • Fingerprint scanner failures forced residents to prop doors open with rocks and buckets, creating security gaps.
  • Roach infestations documented; pest control visited twice but infestations persisted despite multiple resident requests.
  • Billing disputes: extra charges added for items already damaged or removed by management.
  • License #9002997.

Common Questions About Applying Here

Can I schedule a move-in date outside the bulk arrival?
Not documented in reviews. Residents have requested early move-in dates and been denied; one review suggests requesting a date during the first week of August rather than the single-day mass check-in, but policy clarity is lacking.
What amenities are included?
Resort-style pool, weight room with gym equipment, basketball court, volleyball net, rooftop amenity deck, study rooms, and computer lab. Their website lists these; reviews confirm pool and gym are well-maintained.
Are units furnished?
Their website claims fully furnished interiors. Multiple August 2024 residents paid for furnished units but moved into empty apartments; furniture delivery was promised but often delayed or incomplete.

Those who rent here experience sharp contrasts: some praise maintenance crew responsiveness and the complex's location near UTA and downtown Arlington, yet many tenants report roach infestations that persist despite repeated requests, unresponsive management unreachable by email or phone, and maintenance tickets marked resolved without any actual work done. Management's communication gaps are the most consistent frustration. Residents spend months fighting unexplained charges, late fees they did not incur, and disputed move-out deductions. The common areas reflect this: garage gates stand open for months, parking stinks of urine, hallway doors break, and security has collapsed. Tenants report cars vandalized, packages lost, and homeless people sleeping in stairwells.

The Lofts offers furnished apartments with utilities and appliances included near UTA's main campus. Unit quality and location draw consistent praise, but parking shortages and rent levels trouble some residents.

Tour staff like Calvin and Cassandra build strong first impressions with attention and honesty. Once leased, many residents discover dirty, pest-infested units far different from the pristine showroom. Maintenance responds quickly to mechanical issues, but the leasing office struggles with callbacks, billing errors, and an office manager (Karen) who residents describe as disrespectful. Some have threatened legal action. The facility itself shows neglect: roach infestations persist despite treatments, parking garage trash overflows for weeks, windows and baseboards are not cleaned between move-ins, and the valet trash service often skips units despite extra fees. A few residents praise swift move-in and smooth lease renewals, but the pattern of bait-and-switch cleanliness and poor post-lease communication dominates recent feedback.
