Testimonials
Zach and Brittany – March 2021
Renting with Paul Smith and Lofts Buffalo was a fantastic experience. The apartments are top quality and in a great location. Their prices are reasonable, and the buildings are well maintained, thanks to their very friendly groundskeeper. It was a wonderful place to live. If you are considering renting in downtown Buffalo, we highly recommend considering the lofts on St. Louis Pl. by Lofts Buffalo.
A. McMahon – July 2020
Moving cross-country, we actually rented our unit without seeing it in person and we feel so lucky that we found Lofts Buffalo. The building and the apartment itself are extremely unique and full of character. You reap the benefits of living in a historical home from the hardwood floors and the exposed brick walls, but with the advantage of a tastefully renovated kitchen and bathroom. My husband and I love being so centrally located, we are able walk to work in the medical center while being steps away from anywhere in Allentown and Downtown. Dwayne is the most phenomenal building employee, from clearing snow and salting 24/7 in winters to helping me change my car battery, he really does do it all while keeping the property in tip-top shape. Paul and the management team are extremely helpful and always quick with communication, thanks for making St. Louis Place our home!
C. Campanella – May 2020
Just reaching out to thank you and the rest of BREV for being great landlords over the past year. Moving into my first apartment was definitely a nerve wracking experience, but your company made the transition really easy for me.
Dwayne’s a really great maintenance guy who truly cares about the people who live at the St. Louis complex. The property has always been clean and well maintained. During one of my first nights here, I locked myself out of my apartment and Dwayne drove across town to let me back in despite it being 9:30 PM on a Friday. You can’t put a price on that.
Alina and I made a deal with the furniture so I’ll be leaving the following items behind:
– Kitchen Table
– Couch
– Upstairs Rug
– Bar Stools (x2)
– Portable Air Conditioner
When the economy recovers and my next lease it up for renewal, I’ll reach out to hopefully snag one of these apartments again. Thanks for believing and investing in Buffalo!
E. Brunette – July 2020
For a review I would say they’re charming apartments in a great location. I never had a problem with my neighbors and overall it was a great experience living there.
C. Sessions – June 2020
This apartment was by far my favorite place I’ve ever lived in Buffalo! The building has beautiful finishes and the apartment is very comfortable – you don’t hear the neighbors at all. Plus, there is plenty of free parking in the area at any time of day. The management does a fantastic job with communication, repairs, and cleaning the common area weekly. I would highly recommend this for your new home!
