A 1 BR Loft is a better deal than a 1 BR at Sumter Grand Independent Living.

Without a meal plan a 1 BR apartment at Sumter Grand is approx. $4,000. This includes utilities, amenity fee, TV, etc.

A 1 BR at The Lofts is $1,640 plus add in the amenity fee, utilities, renters insurance it is approx. $2,015.

As a side note before leasing check the quality of the construction. A friend who is leasing has had more items on his punch list than his previous 3 houses combined.

IMO most likely the majority moving into apartments won’t be using too many amenities anyway other than what’s provided at the apartments. My only gripe is why amenities fee’s goes to developers and not the districts. IMO Apartment dwellers should pay same amenities fee’s rest of us pay to districts and if developers have to have fee for upkeep that should be extra especially at Lofts cause district residents can’t use those facilities.
