I enjoy living in this area due to how close it is to the harbor, most things you would like to do are within a walkable distance. Public transportation is very close to the apartment so using your car is unnecessary.

My roommate and I chose to rent at Sail Cloth after touring several other similar buildings downtown. We wanted to be within safe walking distance to campus, as we are both nursing students, and unfamiliar with the city. Everything has been great so far, and we will probably renew for a second year. The building is clean, there are not any bugs, the office and maintenance staff are both responsive and nice, and maintenance even hung our curtains, and a white board for us when we moved in. The parking is a bit pricy, however we have learned that this is anywhere within downtown. They do include free parking for our guests, which comes in handy. Overall, I think that we both definitely recommend, and have been happy here to date. Will update should anything change.

The location can't be beat if you are going to be at UMMC. My apartment is great, updated, comes with washer/dryer. The 24 hour staff is comforting, it is nice to have someone there to greet you when coming home. Office staff and maintenance both are attentive and kind. Have had no issues at all since move in, and recently renewed for another year.

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.

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.

I've been here a year and a half and have had no issues!

I love living here! Great staff and close to everything.

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.
