I have shared feedback via several avenues including this survey, emails, other surveys, Google, Yelp and much more. In short, leasing staff is lazy and sloppy, leasing management is dismissive and rude, the property isn't well maintained and should not smell like urine 24/7, maintenance is laughable and I do not feel good about spending my money to rent here every month.

I have lived in the building for three years. It’s been the most enjoyable community. My loft is so well designed and maintenance is always prompt with any concern. I highly recommend it to friends all the time. Great place with great people.

I really enjoy living here. I travel for work sometimes and it feels good to come back home to the Rice when it's over. The apartment is cozy and I get compliments when I have guests over. Being an old building, there are sometimes external things that need to be maintained or replaced. Maintenance is pretty speedy.

Regarding maintenance, the light bulb in the entry to my bathroom was flashing when I turned it on--sometimes for 30 minutes before it stopped. I thought it was about to burn out and asked that it be replaced. It was not replaced. Now, it has burned out, so I will need to send in another request.

I really enjoy living at the rice!! There is a strong sense of community and it’s located in the center of downtown which is very convenient. The staff is very helpful and the building is beautiful and has a cool history!
