Hopefully this is my last review ever of this place…read more Last review I gave the rental office credit. I now take that credit back As a have had changes in employees.... Last post I wrote about how awful one of the neighbors were. It only got worse--in addition to the things I wrote previous, the adolescent boy who lives upstairs broke in to my mailbox leaving a bag of dog feces, spit on my door, flattened 4 of my tires (including my neighbors) smeared feces on my neighbors wheelchair, grabbed and shook his crotch at a 3 little girls age 3 to 8. And most recently $2300 worth of damage to my brand new car... When you call the rental office, it only escalates the situation or They don't want to deal with that and tell you to call the police.....Then you have to wait for the police to show up (sometimes up to an hour) only for them to tell you "there's nothing they can do without evidence". I installed cameras but was demanded to take them down. So if you plan to move here please be aware there are no security guards and there are no cameras, And you are not allowed to have a camera pointed at your car or in/at common areas--- so anything can happen.... Last straw for me was when the officer who responded to my most recent incident stated that "she responds here all the time for things like this" The rental office made it seem like the issues I was having were my fault. They offered to move me to another apartment come up at claimed I would probly have the same issues no matter where they put me. Would also cost me to move to another apartment - - or offered to let me break my lease for a huge fee A gentleman at Picerne was kind enough to let me out of my lease after hearing how terrible things have gone, That I had contacted an attorney, and have a friend who works at WJAR. The apartments themselves are pretty nice, amenities are great, the fact you can have a pet is wonderful.... That's kind of where it ends.

The complex is great and the townhome I am in offers the perfect space for 2 people. The kitchen was updated and the appliances work well. We are walking distance from a few restaurants, a Wal-Mart (which is perfect when you need 1 or two things but don't want to drive to the grocery store). I just wish we had washer & dryers in the units instead of a onsite laundry mat but I am glad I chose Fairfax Village to live at.

The first weekend we were here moving stuff in the neighbor came and…read morerang the doorbell frantically and told us to stop making so much noise and to shut my kids up. Not a great start I let It go cause he was an older gentlemen. About a month later my niece came over and she fell on the stairs....all of a sudden my neighbor is banging on my door again he proceeded to yell to tell me to shut her the fuck I'm and proceeded to call me a fat bitch. I went to the office and all they had to say was that he's had problems with other neighbors and to just IGNORE him because he's a grumpy old man... my niece is afraid to come over because of how he yells and bangs on my door. He scowls at any of my visitors and yelled at my grandmother for parking in front of my house. I told him if he bangs on my door and scares my kids one more time I'm calling the police he proceeded to say " who will they believe me and old man or you?" I'm done with It and moving as soon as my lease is up. Management won't do anything about It even though It says right in the lease that you CANNOT confront neighbors or harass them. This place is a joke.

The WiFi quality and A.C. both work really well- which is super important when you're trying to get a bunch of work done! I think the design is really intentional and beautifully restored and I noticed a ton of original pieces of machinery and decor reused from the original factory. The gal Sara(h?) that manages the property has been so amazing with answering my questions and even letting me in when I forgot my key card! A new bar, Far West, just opened next to the coworking space- I plan on stopping in all the time!! Thanks for existing, Rooms & Works!!

This has got to be one of the most beautiful rehab projects I have seen of an old factory building…read more What was once an old manufacturing building is now a shared office space/incubator kitchen/speakeasy bar/apartment space. There are so many surprises within this one building. A bunch of apartments above, the shared office space and incubator kitchen on the main level. A bocci ball court, cornhole, grill and picnic tables in the courtyard. There is also another building out back that is not currently being utilized but is another amazing (small) space for something amazing once they figure out its intended purpose. My favorite part is the amount of items they salvaged during the rehab. From machinery to metal drawers, they incorporated as much as they could into the overall aesthetic of the place. Kudos to a great job and preserving such a hidden gem.

Independence Place has paper thin walls, and you can hear everything your upstairs neighbor is…read moredoing. I have lived here for almost 2 years, and it has been an absolutely terrible experience. If you value sleep, peace, and quiet, then consider viewing another apartment in Cranston or Warwick. My dog is terrified, and she always stays in her crate (which she never would do before we moved here). The property managers, Katie and Crystal, can only do so much about noise complaints, that you are left on your own trying to resolve them. Save yourself a big burden and headache and look for another apartment. Edit in Response to Property Management: We have been complaining about the noise for almost two years now to no avail. I have a laundry list of messages to Crystal about how loud and disruptive it has been for us, and she has done nothing about it. It is not a little noise, it is a lot of noise. This is coming from someone who is a combat veteran and who currently works in the healthcare field, and who deals with noise on a regular basis. I also never acknowledged that Crystal has taken any of our complaints seriously, and she most likely will not take anyone else's complaints seriously. My point still stands: do yourself a favor, ignore the PR message from Crystal, and look elsewhere.

We've had several "domestic disturbances" that have required the police to be called. When we reached out to the staff about it, we were told "that Independence Place cannot guarantee anyone's safety". The staff in general is very nice and probably the only bright spot of this place. Our entire apartment reeked of cigarettes when we moved in, there's no lights in the ceilings, my girlfriend has been cat called in the hallways, food smells from other units carry throughout the entire apartment building, etc. Parents let their kids play in the parking lot. Repairs are done in a timely fashion but the same repair often has to be done several times. They ran a hard credit check on me a month AFTER I moved in.

PEERLESS Firstly,…read morelet me say that I've only lived here about a week. So far, I've had more pros than cons. Pros: Staff is very friendly, and always willing to help with whatever issues I may have. Security is good, and you never worry while coming home late. It's simply a beautiful building with a very interesting past. It used to be a club that would play some real headliners. My apartment is spacious and bright, with original floors and all. Cons: It's very noisy on weekends (but of course it would be as any place would that's surrounded by bars) The windows (this is a personal issue, and not something that is really a complaint) I'm short. Opening those windows were a real struggle and now I can't close them because I can't reach. This mean's I'll have to call maintenance for a ladder each time I want them opened or closed. The food dispenser was clogged and the washer was filthy, again a personal problem because they offered to clean and fix everything before I moved in but I chose to move in sooner rather than later, not giving them time to fix the issue. The only real issue I have is that there are fruit flies in my apartment and they are PERSISTENT. Having worked in the bar industry for five years, you'd think I would be able to get rid of them but they just keep breeding. I don't know if this is a maintenance issue that I can call them on, or if I have to call some form of pest control. The only reason it bothers me so much is because my kitchen is always clean, and yet they are just here. I hate that they keep getting into my cat's food when I leave it out for her. ALL IN ALL, I would def recommend the peerless building for anyone wanting to be downtown.
