Old Market Lofts is in a prime location, so you do pay a pretty steep price. I found overall it to be pretty reasonable given the location. There are a lot of new places springing up for about the same cost, that I think would be better. I lived there the past year and had an OK experience. 2.5/5 would be more appropriate than a 2 or a 3
Management is OK. I had a couple of especially negative interactions with them, but overall they do a good enough job. I find their communication to be a bit passive-aggressive, and their overall ability to be proactive lacking. We had a significant, recurring ceiling leak and navigating that experience was a nightmare with the two women who were in charge. I ended up contacting corporate directly in an attempt to have my situation resolved, which it was, after pulling teeth.
The walls are quite thin, and the air flow is strange. We had some 4/20 friendly neighbors next door, and it was obvious when they had just completed a session. It was unfortunate that the smell came right into our bedroom as we were trying to sleep.
Packages are the absolute worst thing about this property. USPS put packages in our mailboxes or to the front office. All other carriers will leave the packages either at your door or in front of your mailbox. I know that packages have gone missing for myself and other residents. Property managers Chanel and Vicky sent out communications to all residents saying that they have tried to work with the carriers, but to no avail. When we have packages at the office, we are not given any notification in mailboxes or via email. I once had a surprise package sent that sat in their office for months.
Maintenance is probably the best part of this place. I found them to be very friendly and timely, albeit a bit chatty. If that's not your thing, don't be surprised when they want to know about your entire life.
There's an Omaha parking garage right across the street which is a cheaper and better option than the one we have in the basement which runs for about 90-100 per month additional.
We opted out of our lease renewal because I do not believe that the unit we were in (albeit great location, and nice looking apartment) was worth the cost given all of the other issues I had and mentioned below. With all the options available to us, there are definitely better choices to be explored.
