Rumely Lofts Apartments

friends. Management is top notch. Kate and Eric work diligently to make this place wonderful. There is a 'hidden' catnip garden on property for cat owners! Train noise is manageable and you get used to it. Some conductors are better than others about the way they announce train crossings.......Don't let this be a deterrent from a great space.

ceilings and arched windows is beautiful into a very cool loft. We moved as we bought a house but miss the flow of life downtown. We would highly recommend Rumely Lofts. It's all about location and from Rumely Lofts you can walk almost anywhere downtown and have access to everything you may need, such as delicious Java Joe's coffee.

complaint blasting music.. in which they replied "no." So that was the end of her "investigation." Sunday mornings the lobby and elevator are trashed with broken glass and empty beer cans. One Sunday the main door to the building was smashed and glass was up and down the hall, so I reported it to maintenance, letting them know what I had found. A month later the property manager e-mailed me a receipt for the door damages, claiming I had called her confessing I broke the door.. I hadn't & didn't. When confronted, she said "Well, I guess if you didn't do it." I should mention that there are security cameras at that door which no one ever bothered to check. I tried talking to someone higher up in management but she only had excuses and really didn't care to take my concerns seriously. Almost every notice I received was not actually read by the property manager.. there would be dates wrong and paragraphs that didn't apply to anything. When I was nearing the end of my lease, I received a notice with a checklist before maintenance could walk through, stating I had to be moved out completely and everything needed to be cleaned. The date to do it all by was two weeks before I was moving out, so I asked her about it and she said "Oh yeah, I don't know why it says that." And now dealing with a security deposit return is difficult. Charges for light bulb upgrades to LED and cleaning charges, none of which were necessary or mentioned to us in advanced during the maintenance walkthrough.

drunks. However, no building is without fault. Located next to the train tracks, if windows are open, it can be noisy (the building is well insulated and the noise is lessened when they are closed). Also, common areas are often dirty. This is mainly because demographics are more millennial than professionals. All over - I love living here. Downtown Des Moines is a great location and the apartments are unique and beautiful. You don't live in common areas anyways so the slightly stained floors don't bother me.

and definitely gives you the loft experience with the huge industrial windows and concrete floors for those accidental spills! I would very much recommend living here, It is a great experience!
