The Lofts at 677 Seventh Apartments

After having a terrible experience at a previous property for a month, I decided to end my lease and find a place immediately! I was very nervous since I needed to move in a matter of days. It was so refreshing to walk into the Lofts at 677 Seventh Apartments. The scent and cleanliness of the place was the first thing I noticed. I was greeted by Mia Bradford at the leasing office with excellent customer service, very professional and really friendly. Mia gave us a tour of the property, and I knew this would soon be home. I didn’t realize however how quickly and smooth the process would be thanks to Mia and the Greystar team, and days later I moved in. Mia did a great job at explaining all of the amenities and services they offered, and answered all of our questions. All of my stress of having to move quickly was gone thanks to the leasing office. Since it was a fast move, there were a few small glitches such as the AC not working the first day, but Margot took care of that immediately. That same day she had maintenance come in, and since it couldn’t be fixed in a day, they brought me over a portable AC for the weekend. First thing Monday morning, my AC was fixed! I couldn’t complain. Mizrahim or Miz as he likes to be called, the maintenance gentleman was just as professional, prompt, and very friendly. I read the Unilocal reviews before checking the place out, and raised questions about the pest control, or how maintenance requests work — and I was impressed to hear that they have pest control come in every Monday just to make sure the place is well taken care of, and I believe it. I haven’t seen absolutely anything in the loft or even in the hallways. As far as requests go, all we have to do is request a specific service and they are there — as I experienced it. I work from home, so I am around to notice the cleaning staff that comes in to ensure the cleanliness of the property, as well as the security guard at night. Another concern I had was perhaps the noise, living in Downtown, but the double pane windows in the loft keep all of the noise out. The couple of people I have met in the elevator have all been friendly and respectful. The layout of the loft is great, spacious with a one-​bedroom feel. The bathroom is big, the floors are beautiful, and the brand new appliances are awesome. I have had no issues finding parking in their underground parking. They do a great job at keeping the place clean and organized — and the leasing office is available all day to help with any concerns — and the 24 hour maintenance and security gives us peace of mind. The location is great — walking distance to all the cool spots in Downtown, with cafes and restaurants right under us. The gym is cool with views of Petco Park. Greystar did a great job with these lofts — luxury at surprisingly affordable prices for the location and amenities. It’s only been a week or so, but so far I keep getting impressed and I am happy to be settling in such a cool spot!

I had a truly terrible experience at the Lofts at 677. First, the air conditoner was broken when I first moved into the loft. I had no idea but the entire air conditioner was literally frozen with ice and the air was on but there was no air coming out.
Four different times someone tried to fix the air conditioner and then just gave up and I lived in a loft that was between 83 – 88 degrees all summer. It was so hard to sleep due to the heat. And mind you, I was paying over $ 2,000.00 a month for the unit.
After my three months, I moved out and tried to get into the online resident account to cancle the automatic rent payement. I was unable to get into the account. I assumed they cancled my account. A couple days later I received an email stating that an automatic payment for the next months rent had been billed.
It took me over 10 days to get my check for over $ 2,000.00 back. And when I emailed the manager with questions I would get ignored. I also had lots of baby cochroaches in the unit.
Save yourself the headache and live somewhere else.

We have been living here for a few years and for the most part, we have been happy. This place doesn’t have a pool but there is a gym. The gym was ok when we moved here but I keep noticing equipment being taken from the gym and management has not replaced any of it. It is pretty annoying to try to lift any weights when there is only one 12lb dumbbell all the 15s and up are gone. Conveniently there is a single 45lb dumb bell. All the attachments for the cable machine are gone so you really have to improvise there. I hope they take care of this soon. Otherwise I would give them 5stars

I am new to the building, so I must inform that I am solely going based on my experience for the recent month. The management team at 677 Lofts has been so helpful and inviting since my first visit to the community. Everyone knows moving is stressful by definition, but it was SO nice to know that Jarrod and Patty appreciate their residents and tend appropriately to any concerns that may arise.
There was a slight issue with regard to my unit being ready on the morning of move in. While I understand it is the job of the leasing office to make sure tenants are taken care of, I must say 677 made me feel like I was a priority. All worked out in the end, and now I’m loving my new loft! It is good to see that management takes pride in making it a home.

In my 2 years there I never noticed even 1 cockroach or excessively loud neighbors. My corner unit was awesome and never had a pest.
I recently had an issue with SDGE and even almost a year after moving out, Jarrod went out of his way to help so the Lofts get an extra star from me. :)
I’m surprised by all the negative reviews and urge potential tenants to realize that the rent is high because you are in the heart of one of the greatest cities in the country! I would move back there in a heartbeat if I could. No apartment is perfect but this one is the closest thing I’ve found.

Been living here about 3 years now and have never once seen a roach in my apartment or the hallways, so I’m not sure where others were seeing them. In fact, I think I’ve only ever seen a total of 2 spiders and that’s it!
I love the workout room with a view of Petco Park, and the courtyard with fire pit is a great place to relax in the evenings with a glass of wine. I constantly see the hallways and common areas being cleaned and all the neighbors are really friendly. There is the occasional noisy neighbor, but it’s an apartment building, not a ranch house in the middle of nowhere… There’s what, maybe 200ish people in the building? We’re going to hear each other from time to time.
Friendly and helpful management and maintenance staff that has always quickly responded to my needs. Two delicious restaurants on the corners of the building, and walking distance to grocery stores, CVS, and tons of amazing restaurants. What more could you ask for?!

its been almost a year since i moved in this apartment with my boyfriend now my husband, when i first step foot into this place, my first words were, «you have a nice place». from the lobby and to the unit, its nice, and our view from the balcony is great, which we have lots of memorable experiences… :), nice area, close to everything, to add, we have our own parking garage, a courtyard that has resident’s wine night/​gathering every once in a while and a gym on the 5^th floor. there’s also security all the time but lately we haven’t noticed them, if they’re gone we hope they will be back, but the only thing is we have a little loud neighbors from above and below.
Our management people are nice and cool too, including our maintenance people and cleaning lady.
PS based on our experience we’ve never seen any bugs especially any cockroaches.
we look forward to living many more years here.

Great floor plans AND affordable?
BUT they don’t care about roaches?! No good
Fix it soon or lose business people cmon

Apartment hunting… stop 5.
Prior to arriving at The Lofts at 677, we had been to the Olde Cracker Factory and had our expectations raised a bit. We liked the Cracker Factory a lot. Liked the building, liked the area, liked the landlord, liked the exclusivity.
Then arriving at The Lofts, we showed a bit early. Stopped in the café across the street to get an idea of the local offering and was jolted into high gear by a four shot mexican hot chocolate delight… wow!
Walk across the way to The Lofts, and the door was held for us (polite tenant, good start), the entry was stylish and clean… and upon entering the leasing office, we were greeted with a smile and sat down to business.
Now, I was going to inquire about the roach story on Unilocal,but got caught up in the moment of the trendy environs and good smells. Forgot about it.
Sarah and I were interviewed, and then we were whisked along the tour. Workout facility was tiny. Boo. Community area with firepit and lots of sun was cool. Yay! Stacked washer and dryer, boo. Stylish appointments, yay! Great view from the penthouse patio to Petco Park, yay! Ability to have our own grill up top too, yay! Real tiny loft, boo…
We loved the area. Good deal going for a hundred off a month and a parking spot included on a six month lease term or longer. And no app fee if we signed today… as if $ 60 is the make it or break it. She had to try I guess… policy or something like that I’m sure.
The Lofts are in the top 3. So we’ll see what next week brings!

Last week I visited the Lofts at 677 in downtown San Diego. Once I arrived I asked to use the restroom– after a maze of hallways, I found the restroom.
Maybe because I was raised with three older brothers, so now I always check all areas because they would attack at any given moment… THUS. I always look above me when I enter a room…(my bros were very creative)…SO ANYWAY… I go into the restroom. LOOK up… and there were about 30 COCKROACHES, like a swarm on the wall and ceiling. I froze. thinking– do they jump?!(I’ve never seen anything like that) Then I quickly ran out… I went back to the leasing office… and with great urgency told the leasing agent about the situation. it quickly became clear that she was aware of the problem and didn’t really care. «Oh, really? Wow… well, don’t worry. we really don’t HAVE MUCH OF A PROBLEM with them. So, were you looking at a one bedroom or two?» My jaw dropped… I don’t know much about cockroaches. but I do know for every one cockroach you see there are hundreds you don’t… dirty…
If you visit… make sure you have all your shots.
