Winston Factory Lofts

Spacious and comfortable lofts perfectly situated in downtown. Great gyms, fast internet, but parking is very expensive.

I've lived in both WFL buildings at times over the past 3 years. Both buildings have great 1 bedroom, 1 bath options and the management staff/maintenance team are fantastic. The downtown area has developed significantly over the past few years, with several bars, restaurants, coffeshops, a trail, and a park all within walking distance of WFL.

One drawback is the proximity to train tracks - trains come through 2-3 times per day.

Great apartment with character, close to everything fun downtown!

The lofts are decent. The rooms are nice, but the windows are very drafty. They do not hold in heat well so it gets pretty cold in the winter and drives up the electricity bill. Additionally, the lofts are close to the train tracks which can be annoying because some conductors are assholes and really lay it down on the horn.

If you don't mind a 5-10 minute drive to campus, WFL is for you! I absolutely love living in the Factory Lofts and I love living downtown. I have a fairly large dog and the lofts have always been extremely accommodating (there are also two off-leash dog parks on site!). I love the industrial feel of where I live and the secure parking and entrances/exits. The lofts have a multiple workout facilities in their two buildings and a fully operating movie theatre in the building I live in (Phase 2). They have a pool and multiple grills on their pool deck, including a fire pit! The staff hosts multiple events every month to allow you to network and socialize with your neighbors. The only disadvantage is many people in the MA program do not live downtown, so socializing with other people in the program usually requires a drive to Crown Oaks or somewhere closer to campus.
