The Gentry's Landing

My fianc and I love our home in GL. Dirt cheap rent, front doorman, two gyms, rooftop pool, and most importantly, our apt has never been broken into. That was not the case in another neighborhood where I lived, but I got rid of anything valuable in my apt anyway. Ive always wanted to see downtown end up like manhattan. Technically, we applied to the artist lofts first but were denied for not being low enough income. I would love to see more artistic types, business people, etc down here.

When I first moved to Genty's in 2010 it was a great place to live and affordable. I had a nice large studio convertible to myself. Then I moved to the 12th floor and rents started going up on everyone it was no longer affordable because of the rent and utilities and laundry and parking that combined with ever raising rent forced me to leave to live in south city.

I lived in Gentry's Landing in 2009; the building itself isn't bad, but the management (at least back then) could use some serious help. The day I moved in, my heat and AC were broken and my apartment's bathroom and kitchen were filled with dead bugs. They told me simply it "happens" and they'd "get around to it." It wasn't until I threatened to withhold my first month's rent and contact the county health department that things were finally repaired.
