Lofts on Alabama

Pros: Location, location, location. It is a 2 minute walk from Bridge Street Market, an affordable, Meijer's operated grocery store that is the only one in downtown Grand Rapids. It is a 6 minute walk from YCMA. It is about a 15-18 minute walk to Secchia, less on the way back. It is also on Bridge Street, which has several restaurants and bars. It is definitely one of the cheapest, relatively, one bedroom one baths I have seen around downtown GR.

Cons: There is no on-site management since it is operated by Rockford Properties which operates many other properties too, so it takes a VERY long time to get into contact with a representative. It can take up to several days if you don't pester them. I don't have many other cons to be honest besides there being no amenities, but I wouldn't use them much anyways.

Lofts on Alabama has been a pretty great experience overall! It is a pretty good location to the Secchia center/medical mile (about 15 minute walk) and right next to tons of restaurants, bars, and even a grocery store. Everything is so walkable.

The rent is also pretty reasonable for the location.

There are not a ton of super special amenities, but the apartments are remodeled and the maintenance staff has been a huge help with any of our issues. Parking is not included, but you can either pay for a pass or try and find street parking which isn't too difficult usually.
