Walker's Point

This place is my new jam, or house, whatever. Its awesome. We have windows, walls, closets, a…read morekitchen, and whole bunch of awesome! It is actually an old warehouse that has cinder block walls, concrete floors, and stainless steel kitchens, in an up and coming neighborhood. We love our new place!

We are a young professional couple, and after a thorough couple days of looking at apartments all…read morethroughout Milwaukee, a two-bedroom on the top floor of the JHL building was our top choice. We put money down to hold our spot and as we were driving away a man from a showing I had canceled called to insist we come look at his brand new townhouses on Humboldt. We did, and were wowed, but loved the character at JHL and told the owner of the townhouse no thank you. I took the weekend to think about it and after crunching numbers/pros cons, I changed my mind only because: 1) Price. It would have cost between $4-5k more (than our other option) to live at JHL over two years factoring in parking, ALL utilities (even trash), and some nonrefundable amenities/pet fees. 2) Convenience. JHL Only has surface lot parking (not covered), which costs $80/month. Our other option had two attached garage spots included in the price of rent. 3) Location. I didn't love the feel of the neighborhood. I know Walker's Point has a lot of great restaurants etc. but it didn't feel like a place I'd feel comfortable walking the dog/running at. 4) Some minor cons: utilities would probably be ridiculous at JHL because of the huge windows/very large size of the unit we were interested in, electric range instead of gas range (as someone who cooks almost every night, that was something I really wasn't looking forward to), stand up showers instead of bathtubs. All that being said, the unit we were wanting to rent was incredible. 18-foot ceilings, tons of natural sunlight, great views, incredible warehouse character -- all concrete, exposed ductwork, expansive loft windows. It had in-unit laundry and a dishwasher, both of which are non-negotiables for me at this point in my life. Shaina, the person who represented JHL and showed us the space, was incredibly kind, prompt in her responses, and wonderful to work with. She was also flexible when we were trying to negotiate rent based on being willing to sign a longer lease. After we changed our minds, she returned half of our application fee, even though it was pretty clear at the time we paid it we would not be getting it back if we were approved and decided not to live there. She waited for me to move and then mailed it to my new address. I was really impressed with that customer service. I'm still sort of sad we didn't live there even though I love our new place. Our new place is brand new with awesome amenities and I really love the neighborhood, but there's just something about the character of a loft.

Menomonee River Valley

We have lived here for just over a month, and I can't imagine a better place to rent in the city of…read moreMilwaukee. After reviewing and analyzing hundreds of rentals all over the Milwaukee area, I chose River Place Lofts sight unseen from the confines of our place in Seattle, Washington. I even created comparison charts. Yet, one never knows about a choice made from the internet. For once, I was right on! River Place Lofts aren't perfect, but what is? For our needs, RPL is close. The buildings stay true to their historical origins. We reside in the original, Beams House, a renovation that has been awarded architectural prizes. Our two bedroom, two bathroom apartment has original cream city brick walls, wooden ceiling beams, and charming accouterments from the turn of the twentieth century. Friends ask how we found such a cool place, and they ask if we hired a designer. No, that creativity came with the unit. The spaces are large, windows thick, and I just wish we weren't on the first floor. Some views at RPL are wonderful. Ours stink, but ya can't have it all. River Place Lofts has the best location in the city, and that's not hyperbole. We are a five minute walk from the excitement of Walker's Point. Second and First Avenues restaurant/bar/gallery quarter is to the East, and just a short walk over the Sixth Avenue Bridge is Milwaukee's Zocalo plus distillaries and breweries. I have a ten minute walk to the Third Ward and the Public Market. The Menomonee River runs along the complex and I can have a kayak in the water in two minutes. Yet, the coup de gras is RPL is private and exclusive, residing on a dead end street, and enclosed within a gated enclave. We have no worries walking our dog late at night on the designated grassy areas. The next door neighbor on our dead end is the brand new Rite-Hite headquarters and showpiece, designed with lovely walkways and places to sit and relax. It's a green oasis surrounded by industrial chic. Truly, RPL has its private space within the city of Milwaukee. My photos tell a decent story. There are some issues. I need to be honest. The A.C. could be stronger. Lighting isn't great in our unit. Construction on the fourth building is still continuing, and is annoying. We can hear our upstairs neighbors clearly through the floor joists, and the kitchen is not designed for a chef. Appliances are builder grade, but the resident demographic doesn't cook much with hundreds of restaurants ten minutes away. These are all minor compared to what's great about RPL. Sean, the manager, takes great pride in what RPL has accomplished. He wants each tenant to appreciate what went into creating this place, and Sean wants everyone to be as happy as he is. When we need something fixed, Ricardo is here the same day we wrote our ticket! BTW, I forgot to mention there is a fully equipped gym, a cigar room, a party space, a wine vault, and a pontoon boat at your dispoasal. Are you kidding me! A pontoon boat! I'm in. Even with several buildings, RPL is always quiet, and we rarely run into anyone. The buildings are not constructed to shove as many apartments into the spaces as possible. Thus, the population of the complex is quite manageable. I know this reads as if I'm gushing, but after moving to Milwaukee from a penthouse condo in Seattle, I never thought we would find such a great place to live. We are very happy. Now, if we could just get a place at RPL with a better view.............................

I have lived here 2 years, and just signed a new 3 year contract. Awesome attention to details…read moreamenities and a great location. Double gates and a security guard from sun down to sun up. Generally good professional tenants as well. If you seek a clean, trendy loft, this may be your next home.

East Town, Downtown

After looking at several apartment complexes in Milwaukee, I can tell you in our experience…read more7Seventy7 gave the best service and wow factor out of all of them. First, I was absolutely​ asked for my ID before I had my scheduled tour, the email and phone call that I had prior to the tour both indicated this was mandatory. I totally​ appreciated​ that they ask for it and that they do a safety scan​, if I am going to live here; I want to feel I am in a safe community. Second, I showed up in yoga pants because honestly most days that is how I roll. I did not feel judged or uncomfortable, I just felt like I was in a beautiful building. The lobby is beautiful, I felt like I walked into a resort in Las Vegas with beautiful chandeliers and gorgeous seating. I was greeted by Hussaun and he made me feel very welcome. Lydia took me on the tour and she was very friendly, knowledgable and answered all of my questions. The building is breath-taking with gorgeous views of the lake and the city. The units are finished with beautiful finishes, and​ everything is high-end. I do wish that they were a little more spacious but, the quality is unmatched from everything I have seen (and I have thoroughly searched). In the end you cannot beat the views and the finishes. Even though they are smaller, they were designed for a lot of storage and are so light and airy that the space feels big. Also with all of the amenities and events you are out of your apartment more than you think you will be. Now let's get to the amenities. Fire-pits, sports lounge, sky-view roof top, business vignets, virtual golf, outdoor terrace pool, dog-walk, not to mention a quick walk to the Historic Third Ward, the lake, and Jazz in the Park around the corner. After living here for almost 4 months now, I can tell you that it is exactly how they represent it to be on your tour. The staff is incredibly responsive to the point of spoiling you. On the few minor issues we have had they have fixed them within hours (Nick and Carmello and the rest of the maintenance crew are very responsive, nice, and fast). Garrett, Andrew and Tyson always greet us with "Welcome Home" when we come back from our travels. If you ever need anything they are always happy to help or answer questions. The staff puts together social events monthly (cocktail hours, meet and greets and charity events), and brings in vendors from around the city to host food and learning events. We are always out of town for the events, but are looking forward to being able to attend the October Fest Happy Hour. The views from the units are unrivaled.....if I sound a little excited about the place, it is because I am. 7Seventy7 works for us because we travel a lot and we always have the security of knowing someone can help if you are out of town and need to have deliveries or maintenance issues addressed. There you have it, beautiful building, incredible staff and the perfect downtown location, we are incredibly happy we chose 7Seventy7 as our new home.

We were charged $7,000 as an early termination fee for breaking a lease with 6 months left on our…read morelease! Yes $7,000!!! They also required a 60 day notice when we requested a 30 day. I've never felt so ripped off by a business. We had to terminate the lease because my wife took a new job in a new city. What's so egregious is that the fee for breaking the lease seems arbitrary as it is not listed anywhere in the lease.

Great apartment complex with ample green space in a coveted part of the city. With a dog park, full…read moreworkout room, community space and makers room - lots to offer. Very pet friendly location and perfect spot if you want to be in the city, but also see green!

Updated 05/07/2025…read more Rent payment system is not good. My bank institution stopped being supported by the payment system, and I wasn't notified, so when my autopay paid for the month it failed, and I was slapped with all kinds of fees. My payment methods were then all deleted from my account. When I used the AI chatbot for help, it said my payment methods were there on its end and would retry the payment. The bot never ended up doing anything, and I was charged more fees the next day. The system never allowed me to add another bank account, so I had to pay with a card, which added another $50 fee on top of everything. The internet is also terrible. There's no other option but Xiber, and there are constant outages and the internet speed is never good enough for anything more than light browsing. Even streaming services are sluggish throughout the day with Xiber. The ISP advertises "fiber" connection, but it really is nowhere close to those speeds. This is an ok place to live. Pros: Great location, walking distance to many great restaurants, cafes, and other things to do. Fairly responsive and friendly staff who are usually looking out for residents. Nice amenities, such as a workshop, free coffee, nice community space with grills, and pet areas. Very pet friendly, and apartments are decently soundproof so you won't hear other tenant's pets. Up to date kitchen appliances and in unit washer/dryer. Only around 10 min to downtown businesses/offices. Quiet community, but is close to many events/activities in bay view. Cons: Gym is small for the community size. I would recommend getting a membership to bay view fitness across the street. A very limited amount of storage spaces is available to rent, most tenants don't have one. Underground parking is also limited. Bad internet provider. Poorly designed payment portal. Overall: OK place to live. The commute to downtown offices is good, and the community is quiet and close to the city. I would say this is an ok place for people with pets and do NOT work from home and/or internet speeds aren't a primary concern.

this place is probably the worst to rent from…read more... no apartments start at $600. when i moved in the dishwasher was so covered in mold it was unsafe to use unless i took it apart to clean every piece myself. dishwasher also flooded the apartment MANY times. i was told cleaners cleaned the apartment before move in. the day i moved i mopped the floors - first water dump of JUST the living room was pitch BLACK. i gave up after 5 water dumps the water was still dark gray. it was so bad you could see the grime on the floors. i had mold growing in my window and on the walls. no one came to fix it at all. i was told at move it they were going to replace my window and well....it never happened. they claimed i never disclosed i had a dog when i had email receipts stating i did and had his vaccine records sent. the dog poop trash and actually any trash around the building is so over flowed you can't throw anything away. i saw rats bigger than chihuahuas running around the building. i think if you hired a group of sorority girls to do the maintenance they would do a better job...i went months without a smoke detector, 10 hours without power and was locked out of the building due to power. the maintenance guy will say tasks are complete but never come to even look at them...trim was falling off the wall, my paint was bubbling off and the shower corners had mold where the cauxing was. don't forget if you get lucky in the winter you might get a homeless person in the community couch space. you know the management was bad when the cops couldn't even get a hold of them....also if there's ever a fire good luck cause the power will go out and there's no emergency hallway lights (which is a violation of the state laws)

My daughter is currently renting here after MONTHS of trying to get out of the lease…read more Unfortunately, there is never a decent contact person even after the previous management all mysteriously left at the same time. There is black mold in the apartment. I guess this shouldn't besurprising since the dishwasher was moldy when her and her roommate moved in. Literal mold IN the dishwasher at that time Walls are paper thin so you hear EVERYTHING. Finals time? No worries! Please scream all night. Her smoke detector has been faulty for months. I've heard it myself. They no longer accept maintenance for it because it's not a 24/7 issue. I will see what the fire department thinks about faulty alarms. I'm sure they would be pleased. What management tells one student is different from another. For example, my daughter was told she couldn't drop parking because there was no wait list. Come to find out her friend was on the wait list Oh and previous tenants apparently aren't forced to give their key and fob back so who knows who has access to the building This place is an absolute joke since I posted this in apartments.com and emailed the property management company, eenhorn its gotten worse. Maintenance came to fix a flickering light. Light still flickered because "there's no issue" found by maintenance. Well she has videos of this. minor issue but why are we lying about the fix? The best part.... Maintenance left her door unlocked. Amazing. I wanted hundreds of people to have access to her things. The manager, in response to door being left open was "I don't know how that happened". Um I do. He didn't lock the door?! How about an apology? Some form of recognition that this isn't a good situation?! Good heavens if I gave such little crap as these people I sure wouldn't have a job. Thanks for scamming students. Keep up the good work Oh and we're also paying more for base rent than outlined the lease. It's hard to argue with a cement wall here which is what talking to them is like. So if you like feeling insane and disrespected you should absolutely rent here. If you or your student wants a decent place to live I probably wouldn't stop here....
