The Lofts on 5th

Located in Uptown Greenville. Just step outside to dozens of restaurants, bars, shops, and ECU's West campus. The Lofts on 5th features 12 unique apartments ranging from 1 bedroom to 4 bedrooms. Located off of 5th street and Evans, the location is in the corner of Uptown District and in walking distance to ECU's campus. The apartments are located within a historic building originally built in the late 1920's as a three-story Montgomery Ward retail store. Over the years this building has housed a furniture store, Belk-Tyler department store, and a bookstore before being renovated into apartments and a restaurant space on the first floor in 1990. Nash Hot Chicken currently occupies the restaurant space. Adding to the fun story of this building, in a article about the building's history Roger Kammerer points out, "this unique building has the only polychrome terra cotta facade erected in Greenville and is only one of a handful of terra cotta clad buildings in eastern North Carolina." Residents access the building and the apartments by a secured code. All apartments come with appliances including a stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, washer, and dryer. There is a private parking lot adjacent to the building available for residents; there is a permit fee and permits are offered on a first come first served basis. All common areas have security cameras that record 24/7. Fire alarm pull stations, hard wired smoke detectors run throughout the building and inside each apartment.
