  • A Really Great Place to Live

    November 18, 2021
    I have lived here for one year with my husband and our large dog. We have had a fantastic experience here. The interiors of these apartments are all recently renovated and beautiful. The building itself is a renovated school, so we have large windows with lots of natural light. The maintenance worker, Will, is so friendly and very efficient. The cleaning staff, Property Manger (Dave) and Office Manager (Sarah) are very warm and personable. They are always willing to answer questions or have a ...
    friendly conversation. The location is Schenectady, so take it what you will, there has been some disputes in the homes across the streets, but nothing caused or having to do with Draper Lofts. Our apartment is very quiet, which is a huge plus. Always plenty of parking. Multiple laundry/dryer rooms throughout the building which is also convenient. Super happy here and would recommend to anyone!

  • Best experience renting so far!

    July 18, 2019
    After touring many of the apartments with similar price points in the capital district I eventually decided on Draper Lofts. I am more than happy that I ended up making this decision. The apartments in the school building are unique and airy, and the huge windows allow a lot of natural light into the rooms. The apartments are brand new which means that the fixtures and the appliances in the apartment a brand new as well. In addition to this, I have never dealt with property management that has ...
    been so caring and competent! It shows that Jan and the team at Draper Lofts take pride in what they do, and I believe that this above all is what is most important when looking to rent. The common areas are always spotless, and any issue or question I had while living there was happily answered. Whenever I had to deal with the leasing office or the maintenance guys, I always felt like they were on the ball and more than willing to help. I’d happily recommend this property to anyone looking to move into the Schenectady area, Draper Lofts is currently under some awesome management and the property offers a huge bang for your buck!
