Tindeco is all around a pretty great place to live. Location is awesome; it's waterfront and near the Korean War Memorial park so there's actually green space which is nice as the building is pet friendly. There is a dog park a few blocks away but I love being able walking my pup along the promenade. Canton square is just 2 blocks away and Boathouse, Bo Brooks with the Tiki Bar, and Sushi San are all within throwing distance. Plus, Tindeco sits on two MTA bus lines - the 31 and 13 - which will take you downtown along Lombard past Camden Yards (31) or up Washington past Johns Hopkins Hospital East Campus towards Walbrook Junction (13).

You won't get more space for the price in Canton. As a renovated factory the building has a lot of character. Huge windows surrounded by brick that let in lots of natural light and high ceilings in the loft apartments really give the space a unique vibe. Noise can carry but the neighbors, generally speaking, are friendly and usually up for a drink. Residents are mostly young professionals in their late 20s-early 40s. Other newer complexes in the area with similar price points have ultra modern decor but it all starts to look the same and you're paying for countertops and light fixtures rather than square footage. Tindeco is a little bit more "lived in" by comparison. There is a waterfront pool, gym and a resident-only courtyard and lounge with free coffee but these amenities could be more modern. However, they are still nice to have and the older feel is the tradeoff for the building's location and unit square footage.

We loved that the building had loft style apartments with 1.5 bathrooms, laundry in the apartment, and secure parking. That said, it is certainly a step down from other nice apartment buildings in the area. While there is a front desk, there is no way for them to call you when someone comes to your apartment, they just have people sign in and then send them up. I've been underwhelmed by the front desk staff overall. You're responsible for your own recycling- it has to get taken to the garage, where trash and recycling pile up in a corner. The appliances are outdated but functional. Overall, the building is fine but not great, we won't be too sad to move at the end of our lease.
