not worth the price

this complex is run by a singular property manager and a singular maintenance worker. they are singlehandedly the best part about this apartment and they clearly work very hard to make the best of a bad situation. they are both obviously overworked.

when we first arrived at our apartment the carpet was absolutely destroyed. paint had been hastily put on the walls and nearly all of the carpet, light fixtures, outlets, switches, and more. The bathrooms have insufficient ventilation and are breeding grounds for mold. our apartment has no blinds, or screens for the windows. when i first took a bath in our apartment i flooded my downstairs neighbors unit. the air conditioner in our unit makes the entire apartment smell musty and the walls are so thin that we do not feel comfortable putting up shelves or art at all. the garage recently flooded and the solution was to make the maintenance worker patch holes in the ceilings with garbage bags.

the fact that this apartment is as expensive as it is is an absolute joke. if there were more affordable options available within range of my school i would take them immediately but unfortunately all renters are subjected to predatory pricing at this point. if the owners of this property had any conscience at all they would either drop the price of apartments in this complex by half, or use some of this money to actually make meaningful updates to the property.

When we first moved in our apartment was not move in ready. There was paint all over the carpeting and it was heavily damaged in a lot of places. We were told that they would send someone to clean the paint out, which they did but they showed up a day later than we were told and it did not change the state of the carpet. They agreed it should have been replaced before we moved in, but that because the previous residents were not charged for that at move out, they could not replace it for us. So we essentially were stuck with damaged flooring and paying full price for it because someone messed up and they did not want to ask the owner if they could pay to replace the flooring. Beyond that maintenance issues we have had have been handled promptly, but there have been quite a few things we have just left to avoid having to schedule someone to come take a look for us (trim missing from floors, carpet not connected to the floor, strange smell when the AC is on, tile coming off of shower walls, etc). The walls are very thin and if someone is playing music or talking loudly, you can hear it through the walls. Our neighbor constantly plays a loud bass and we have had to handle that ourselves multiple times because he will play music all night. The valet parking is great, but the garage had a massive leak in the ceiling for a while and it looks like a lot of damage to the building overall was just kind of painted over like a temporary/lazy fix to a bigger issue. The management and maintenance are responsive and great but you can tell that they are greatly overworked an it leads to them not being able to be proactive about building care or resident care.

Great place

Living at Sail Cloth Factory has been a great experience overall. This was my first apartment off campus, and also, my first experience living alone, so I was a bit anxious at the start. Allegra (the girl in the leasing office) was very nice, she immediately made me feel comfortable and has been very responsive throughout the whole process. Ryan, the maintenance guy, is also really nice. The building has a lot of young people living here, and the general environment is one of a great sense of community. It is a short walk to campus, which is literally right behind my apartment (I attend the school of nursing). I don't love that you have to pay to park in the attached parking garage, but I have found that this is such any/everywhere downtown, due to a city ordinance. The plus side to the parking situation, is that it comes with 24 hour staff, and my friends can park for free when they visit. There is a little dog park in the center of the attached parking garage, so at night I don't ever have to leave the building to walk my puppy. The apartments themselves are cool, and unlike anywhere else I have ever rented, I especially love the wood beams and the huge windows. The whole vibe of the building is awesome. Oh, and the roof deck is a nice spot to chill, and they have unlimited free coffee and tea in the lounge, I have saved a ton just from this alone, no more Starbucks! If you recommend the building to your friends, they give you $350.00 each time one moves in. Cool place.

Would live here again

When looking for an apartment went in with must-haves, would loves, and cannot haves. After clicking on hundreds of apartment ads I thought I would never get everything I wanted in an apartment. However, the apartment has everything I could want and more. Tall ceilings, large windows, spacious kitchen with plenty of cabinet space, large walk-in closet, in-unit washer and dryer. There is also a gym at no extra cost, 24/7 valet parking, and a small dog park. The apartment building is secure with key fob access and someone is always available. I've had a few issues with my a/c going out, and my washer not always draining, but the maintenance is very responsive and polite. Any apartment you look at will have its trouble spots, but overall my time at Sail Cloth has been wonderful and I would recommend it to anyone interested in having pets and wants something between a studio and a one-bedroom

The apartments have a lot of character with the bricks and high ceilings. It is very nice to have the rooftop, small gym, and printers.

Sailcloth

I lived at Sailcloth my first two years of law school and found it to be a great place for a student. Many medical, dental, and law students live in the building. It is walking distance to the UMB campus, which was the main reason I chose it. I loved the layout of my apartment, and the valet parking is a huge plus. Both management and maintenance are incredibly responsive and quick to help.

Sail Cloth Factory

The main convenience of living here is the proximity to the hospital, but I really, really wished I would have just paid an extra $200-300 for a similar unit in the Zenith or Redwood or literally any other building within walking distance of the hospital. There is one property manager and one maintenance person for the entire building. The property manager is nice, but very clearly overwhelmed, often sending inappropriately emotionally charged emails to the tenant listserv. The maintenance person is capable but also can take several days for nonemergent issues since he is responsible for not just this building, but other buildings run by the management company. The apartment itself is newly renovated and has more than enough space for a single person or couple, but I face MLK Blvd, and it is incredibly loud at all hours of the day. I don't think I get more than 1-2 nights per week of not being woken up by the traffic. Sometimes it feels like the motorcycles that regularly go up and down MLK are literally inside my apartment - I have to pause conversations, or movies, etc, and this is all with the windows closed (they are not able to be opened, by the way). I can also here unwanted noise from my neighbors, but nothing much louder on that front than other places I've lived. I also don't feel very safe - there's only 2 CCTVs that I'm aware of, one at the entrance and one in the package room. This was after I was told there were cameras all over the building. There's a dog park which is great, but that is definitely not a reason to pick this place over any others. Overall, I would definitely not recommend living here over any of the other buildings in the neighborhood.

Sail Cloth Review

Location is very convenient to campus (2 blocks away). Other benefits are a locker system for packages and a small gym open 24/7. Parking is covered underneath the building, and it is operated on a valet system which has its pros and cons. Management and maintenance are great and responsive.
