Updated review after experienced living in riverfront park after living at bank and boston lofts. Summer 2015 I had bad credit and was looking to move downtown from the suburbs. That summer while searching, I found the price rang of all downtown high rises at the current rate. 400-500 sq ft for $1600 a month luxury, or 600 sq ft for 1600 a month old building no amenities. After touring places in Union station area I had taken B&B lofts as the bargain. Here is were B&B lofts screws you. They don't tell you that the building heat in the winter is a avg 120 a month. They also don't tell you that every few months throughout the year you lose water heat or no water at all due to rolling maintenance. With a 1550 a month lease, add in apartment utilities, plus building utilities, plus laundry $$. I spent a average 1700 a month no amenities. Moved to the manhattan tower and lofts summer 2016. The difference.........Same sqft(600) Rent 1450 a month, plus 25 dollar amenity fee, Building utilities in the dead of winter 50$ a month, apartment utility winter 50$ a month.washer and dryer in unit. year round hot tub and many amenities. Overall about 1575 a month.Credit score when moved in 580, Never had to put down a deposit. My point here is AIMCO preys on the struggling with intention of pulling every dime out of you to offset the 30% section 8.My advice for 2017, Downtown is overbuilding rentals. A leasing agent for one of the luxury high rises told me to watch rates closely as downtown is at its tipping point of vacancy. In other words if you are a couple with 2 kids(boy and girl) you will need a minimum of a 3bdr. Not many 3bdrs in downtown area. Most high rises don't go past 2 bdrms.
