The buildings and neighborhoods are yours. It doesn't matter whose name is on the deed or what's been zoned for what. They were built and created for people like you to live in, work in, learn from, and discover. We don't think it was anyone's intention to plan something and never have it happen. Or to build something only to have it sit vacant deteriorating for decades.
Be a part of something new, be part of something amazingly old; become one with The Jeffrey and The Metal Works. Formerly this historical location was home to the world headquarters of a manufacturing company.

I leased at the Jeffrey for over 4 years and had a mostly pleasant experience. I even referred others to live on property that ended up signing leases. The building is fine and the units are nice but it has an interesting scent through different parts of the building. I thought that years of leasing and referring others to the property would mean something to the management company but that was not the case.
Unfortunately when we went to move out not only did we did not get our security deposit back but we were even charged an arm and a leg for normal wear and tear that we were asked to pay out

I spent more than a year and a half at The Jeffrey and couldn’t have loved it more. The location is fantastic, and the quality of the apartments is next to none. The gated parking is a huge plus for a downtown apartment. The staff is very welcoming and accommodating to whatever issues you have come up! I was able to find a house to purchase, but was still sad to finally move out.

This is a great building in a great location. The building has a lot of history, and has been excellently renovated for modern living. Unlike some of the newly constructed apartments in the area, these apartments have really solid walls and floors that insulate you from noisy neighbors or anything going on outdoors. The neighborhood is developing quickly with plenty to do within walking distance, and provides easy access both downtown and to the freeway (I can make it my office downtown in less than 10 minutes during rush hour).
Also, the management team, Tammy and Rebecca, went above and beyond

My fellow dog lovers of ALL breeds, this place is for you!! The kind, accepting atmosphere of The Jeffrey/Metal Works is a giant breath of fresh air for this mama of two big dogs, one being a misunderstood breed. If you have a breed that is commonly not allowed in apartments, you know exactly what I mean! Tammy is also SO nice and funny. You can tell she truly cares about every single tenant. Great place that I feel so grateful to have found :)

Tl;dr: better than most apartments. Management does a fine job. Apartments are nice. Location is great.
I have lived at the Jeffrey for 2 years and it's by far the best apartment I've lived in. It seems a lot of people reviewing don't understand apartment living very well, so I'll do my best to be as honest as possible about your expectations. Overall, you'll probably be happy if you live here.
Location: Prime location for all downtown attractions, bars, etc. You're across from a great brewery and walking distance to the best areas of downtown and the Short North.
Price: Prices are competitive

Pros: locations was great-walkable to Short North while still being in a quieter area. Gym right across the street.
Cons: thin walls, could hear neighbor’s conversations pretty clearly. Windows in the winter were terrible-frost for on the inside of the windows and had to turn up heat more to compensate. Lack of kitchen counter space.
Overall management was terrible. Had a hard time getting in touch with Tammy. I worked odd hours and wanted to see if I could get a parking spot closer to the building. Asked Tammy multiple times and she kept saying she’d contact me when something opened up.

Battery B: I loved this apartment so much, but the landlord, Tammy, was completely impossible to get a hold of and work with. We had things break in our apartment that would be broken for months because she didn't respond to my many emails. Our windows wouldn't close for almost the full last year we lived there because they were "waiting on a part" to fix it. It is obvious Tammy does not care about any of the tenants in this building. She's also a Trump supporter.... just sayin....
We had some amazing memories in this apartment. I am sad to give it a low rating because

I waited to finalize the review until I moved out. I did not want to face problems.
I moved into the Jeffrey with high expectations. I was told it is a luxury apartment. Unfortunately this is not the case. The building has a lot of exterior appeal. The unit was freshly painted and the carpet appeared clean. I did not have screens for my windows. I called several times to request screens and even emailed. It never happened. I made the mistake of opening my windows and getting lots of bugs and smelling my neighbors smoking. I complained about the smoking. Nothing happened. The walls are thin and

I have lived at the Metalworks building (right behind Jeffery) for about a year now and I have immensely enjoyed the unique living spaces that that metalworks offers. The ridiculously high ceilings (20 ft or so), exposed I-Beams, and polished concrete floor, and huge windows give the space an incredibly open and spacious feel to them. This openness makes the apartments really easy to decorate and buy furniture for (I'm a guy so it doesn't come easily to me). I also had an incredible view of italian village and an old steel mill up until about a month ago when Battery B (another Jeffrey

I moved to the jeffrey in the summer of 2010. i rented a beautiful/large 1 bedroom on the 2nd floor in the back corner of the building. little did i know that every night i would be "delighted" to the music from exile vibrating my bed, every morning i would be greeted with the bus announcement picking up outside of my window, & that with no true property manager on site, i would have multiple high-value packages stolen from my front door with no investigation from the building with so many "cameras" & such touted "security" amenities.

I moved to the Metal Works building in the summer of 2013 after relocating to Columbus from Denver for work. I have lived in a fair share of apartments over the years and must say, this is the WORST property management company. I understand that when you rent, you have to deal with certain inconveniences such as thin walls and barking dogs but those were not my most serious complaints. I'll gladly list them out for those of you who are considering a move here. If you want to skip the essay below, my honest opinion is, if you like to party and don't care about having a management company

I've lived in the Metalworks building for two years now, and the reason I give it 3 stars is that the apartments here have terrible, TERRIBLE SOUNDPROOFING.
This means that, if you don't want to know everything your neighbors say and do, this is probably not the place for you. It's no exaggeration: I've never lived in a place with such bad soundproofing. While noise from neighbors is an inherent fact of apartment living, this is no ordinary thing here at Metalworks. Basically, when your neighbor listens to music or when their dog barks, it's as if they were listening to

I've lived in the Metalworks building at the Jeffrey for 4 1/2 years now, and I have nothing but great things to say about my experience here. The unique design elements (especially the exposed I-beams and duct work and concrete floors) make this building one of a kind, and its location simply can't be beat.
The building is close enough that it's an easy walk to the bars, restaurants, and shopping that make the Short North a such great place to live, while being set back far enough from High Street that residents here can also escape from the hustle and bustle, and don't have

I've lived at the Jeffrey for almost 2 and 1/2 years. It's been a very positive experience overall. I have a top floor unit, so it's a loft: the ceilings are vaulted and there's elements of industrial character, which I like. The location, close to Short North, is fantastic. I've had several maintenance issues through the years, and management has generally been very responsive. I have had more than one neighbor who likes to play music loud, sometimes quite late--the walls are by no means soundproof, but then it's apartment living, after all.

I have been a pretty happy resident at the Jeffrey for a little over a year and a half. The building offers many great amenities, has responsive management, and a location that will prove to be very close to the heart of development in IV and the Short North. I've encountered many positives and a few negatives since move-in day.
The positives:
- The lobby area and rooftop deck are great amenities for guests. There are a few negatives about them, however. I'll share those later.
- The true "raindrop" shower head in the bathroom. I miss it whenever I travel away and it&apos
