Lovely apartment, questionable management

This is probably the nicest apartment I have ever lived in. The utilities and appliances are not necessarily the best, but the tall ceilings, huge windows, and exposed brick make it beautiful. Plus, it’s a great location and beautiful view of the river. The only downside is it can be hard to communicate with management. Also, it’s about a 20 minute drive to campus.

Reveiw

River lofts is great if you like the vintage feel. Has exposed brick and high ceilings to make for a bright and unique apartment. Walking distance to great things. But the train is loud and the high ceilings make it difficult to heat and cool the apartment

Great value apartments in downtown

The apartments are really nice and cheap, but they are downtown. There is a grocery store across the street, and some restaurants near by.
Haven't had any troubles with neighbors or management yet. There is parking for $30 a month. Amenities are really nice: 2 pools, hot tub, 2 gyms, movie theater, grills, courtyards. It's walking distance to some good bars downtown. The only con is it's a 10 minute drive into the fan.

Good Place to Live

It is a great location and a social place during the summer months when residents can access the pools.

Getting around Shockoe Bottom


Shockoe Bottom Reviews

Reviewed by Richmond Resident living at The Lofts at Shiplock Watch
Shockoe Bottom has a decent restaurant/bar scene as well as some clubs. It's close to downtown so if you're working there it's a good option. Rent is getting steeper as more investment is made in the surrounding communities so that's worth watching. There's only one (overpriced) grocery store nearby and public transportation leaves a lot to be desired but that's supposedly changing. The area has a ton of character and the flip side to more investment in the area is greater amenities.

I don't venture out much because of COVID, but I know there's a bookstore nearby and some local restaurants (it's also right across the street from a Buffalo Wild Wings). I think I'll enjoy living in downtown a lot more when it's safe to go to the bars and stuff again.

The neighborhood is close to the medical campus for VCU which is great for my roommate being a dental student. one block from a farm fresh and numerous little restaurants within walking distance. One con is the train down there is loud but I have gotten used to it and it doesnt wake me up.

Parking is awful, but the cultural/social/restaurant/bar and club scene is amazing.
