Waukesha Lofts

"Lived here for a year and had nothing but problems. Started when we moved in and had debris falling onto our bed from the ceiling. Initially notified them and they came in and caulked the ceiling. Same issue occurred and notified them again. Nothing happened. Notified them again that I could hear crunching at night and I think it could be bugs. About a week later they came to put a tarp on my ceiling and another week passed before they got pest control out to exterminate the bugs. It turned out there was a nest of carpenter ants above the ceiling. Mind you, it had gotten bad enough where I had to sleep on the couch for a week. When asked for financial compensation, I was told it was resolved in 5 days and they didn’t feel it was deserved. In reality, from my initial complaint to when the tarp was put up, over 2 weeks passed. The next issue was when it rained, our ceiling leaked and I’m assuming brown stain was dripping down our walls and onto our furniture. Resolution was painting over the stains. This worked until the next time it rained. Next issue was Birds had gotten into our air ducts, which caused constant noise at night while they were climbing around. We had gotten into the air ducts to clean them out, and there was bird poop everywhere. IN THE AIR DUCTS. So had to breathe bird dropping contaminated air for close to a month. There were a total of about 2-3 weeks that the elevator and the key fab wouldn’t work so it wasn’t possible to get into the building, which you can probably see how that would be an inconvenience. So in the span of 12 months a lot went wrong and there didn’t seem to be much of an effort made to resolve the issues. Would not recommend at all."

"Lived here for 5 years, beautiful finishes in the unit. Love it here"

"I've lived here over a year, and I think most of the negative reviews come from the previous landlord who is no longer managing the property as of fall 2021. The cost of rent is a several hundred dollars cheaper than comparable units in Milwaukee. Soundproofing between floors isn't perfect, but not terrible - I cannot make out conversations from my neighbors at all. I have interacted with current management several times and only have had positive experiences. Quick to respond and understanding. Nice location close to downtown. Would recommend."

"I just want to warn anyone looking for a good experience from this place. I dont even know where to start. I signed the lease within a week of them submitting the approval. By the time I signed, the rent increased almost $300 a month. They claimed they rent based on value pricing or something like that. I reluctantly signed. The first week we had a horrible rain storm. We found our bedroom leaked in 3 different spots. Our carpet, vanity, and tv were soaked. I reported the issue. They said they would have roofers in the following week to fix the issue. Well, after a year and numerous maintenance requests to fix the leaks, I moved out with leaking celings in 4 different spots throughout the apartment. I have anxiety. My doctor prescribed me an emotional support animal, a dog I had. I submitted the required documents, and after waiting almost 2 months for a response, they denied me. I got a lawyer to fight it. My lawyer told me it would be expensive, and that she suggests that we file with the city. She also told me the reason I had been denied was that the apartment owners didn't see any visible signs of a disability. You can't see all disabilities. I had spoken to numerous other tenants, including my neighbors. Every single one had leaking ceilings. Some worse. This place charges you for the storage unit assigned to your apartment. They charge you $200 if you dont unbag your recyclables. They charge, charge, charge. I have had slumloards that treated their tenants better than this management company. Anyone looking to rent a place here, please research Sterling Investments. You will read horror story after horror story, 1 star review after 1 star review. These are supposed to be luxury apartments. Well. They are anything but. I strongly warn anyone looking to get stuck in this place. You WILL be disappointed."

"Leaking ceilings if you’re on the top floor. Water had leaked into my lamp and burned out the bulb. It also leaked down 3 walls in living room. filthy upon move in day.. carpet cleaned myself and the water was black from one room.. Looked as if the air filter hadn’t been changed in years. You can hear everything from the person above you, and vice versa. I know I was not the only one with issues, have talked to multiple other tenants. Not worth the price"
