Resident Spotlight: Anwar

Name: Anwar Mamora
Location: Center Square Lofts

Why did you want to move Downtown? Was it your job, family, friends? I relocated from Texas for a new job in the Lehigh Valley.

What was the deciding factor that made you choose Center Square Lofts your new home? When I was hired, I had a decision to make. Either Bethlehem or Allentown. I flipped a coin, and Allentown it was. I also liked that Center Square Lofts is brand new, had high ceilings, and is one of the only apartments that will have a pool.

What makes living in Downtown Allentown better than living anywhere else in the Lehigh Valley? Compared to living in Texas, everything is very close together. The gym, restaurants, and bars are all within walking distance.

What’s your funniest memory since moving into your apartment? I’m on the keto diet, so I cook with a lot of oils and fat. One night I was cooking and there was a lot of smoke. When I went to sit down to eat, my fire alarm started to go off. I tried my best to get it to stop, but the fire department showed up at my apartment!

Where’s the best place to go to meet new people? I’m always meeting new people when I go to the resident happy hours.

Where’s the best place to go to for happy hour? Queen City BBQ is my favorite happy hour spot.

What is your ideal way to spend the weekend in Downtown Allentown? I like to run, so every weekend I like to explore a different trail that’s close to Downtown Allentown!

What do you want other people to know about living in Downtown Allentown? Downtown Allentown is growing, and there are a lot of great restaurants and retailers to check out.

The maintenance team are impressive. I was having issues with my washer and from beginning to the end, Mike and Luis handled everything so professionally. It’s was great to know that they actually cared and they had my best interest at heart. These guys are awesome 👏

Lindsay Fly

The maintenance team was beyond great and accommodating! Mike and Luis were excellent. I’ve never had an issue with a work order request for the past 4 years that I have lived here. The team was very communicative and fixed my washer as soon as possible, which was much appreciated! Thank you, guys! 👍🏼

I moved into center square lofts about 3 weeks ago and so far everything has been very pleasing. Brianna the property manager has been super helpful with answering questions and addressing concerns! The maintenance team, Luis and Mike, are amazing. I put a work order in for my ceiling leak sunday night and they were immediately stopped the leak Monday morning. They communicated with me throughout the entire process. The ceiling repair was taken care of by end of week. Overall I am very pleased with this experience and would recommend center square to anyone.

They run a really good rental operation. The buildings are clean, amenities are excellent and the maintenance and administrative staff are friendly and helpful. It also feels safe.

Here 2 years and the staff from the leasing agents, the maintenance and even security are always quick with responses and truly care about your experience. My favorites to name a few are Bri, Meghan, Sabrina, Ashley, in leasing and Mike in maintenance. #movedowntown

Great amenity space— love the gym, yoga/barre room and pool. Spacious layouts with a lot of storage/closet space. My apartment has a great covered balcony. Modern appliances. Still feels new. Feels very safe and secure living here. Location is central and walkable to Starbucks, PPl center, festivals, art museum, and restaurants.

Great place to live at! They are very accommodating, they put their tenants needs first and do what they can to go above and beyond! Freebies, giveaways, networking events etc! Great place for content creators and entrepreneurs. I was worried it was going to be too loud but it’s not at all!

Center Square Lofts is an awesome place to live!! In general, I love the amenities of CSL and the location is perfect for me. The city is growing a lot with new bars and restaurants around. I would totally recommend CSL to all people. Great community!

I've lived at Center Square Lofts West for 3 and a half years and love it here! I downsized from a 3,000 plus SF home into a 1,200 plus SF apartment and was concerned about the transition, but the City Center crew made it easy. There are plenty of spacious closets and a storage facility for little-used items like decorations. As an avid baker, I accumulate a lot of kitchen items, including 8 kinds of flour, but the cupboards are quite roomy and everything fits. Restaurants, bars, swimming pool, all within walking distance. The few maintenance problems I've run into with my loft have been quickly remedied through Maintenance Mark and the office staff. I live in a quiet hallway with only seven units, so adjusting to apartment life has been mostly painless. I've just renewed my lease for the third time!

Laura Mamay

I love living here. So much to do and I am so happy I decided to give it a try living here. I feel very safe and I am very comfortable here. I highly recommend

Gizelle Carlos

CSL is by far THE BEST apartment complex I have lived at! I lived at about 6 other luxury apartments in California prior to moving to PA and CSL really has left a positive impression on me. The leasing staff have been helpful from the start and continue to do so as well! A lot of leasing staff in my experience are only helpful in the beginning when they want you to move in and then you never hear from them again but that is definitely not my experience here! Love the leasing staff and maintenance staff is also super friendly and professional! I renewed my lease for the 2nd year and highly recommend this building or any of the other city center residential communities to anyone looking for a new complex to live at!

Caitlyn Heil

All 5 stars are for Mark. He deserves 10 but google only allows 5.Also, if you ever have an issue with the apartment, Meagan and Tara will be on that in lightning speed.

LOVE living downtown at Center Square Lofts. The instant Meagan showed me the apartment, I fell in love. The amenities are great and the new pool is awesome. The maintenance staff are always on the ball and courteous. I get quick responses from the leasing department and they also do a great job of hosting fun events downtown as well.

Jorge Hernandez

I have been extremely satisfied with leasing at Center Square lofts. Full experience of a Luxury building . And great amenities.

Sarah Metzinger

We love Center Square Lofts! We lived in Strata previously and they made the lease transfer seamless. The construction is moving so quickly. I swear there is something new or updated every single day. It speaks to how hard the staff is working to make this building beautiful and unique.

Cameron Kichline

Center Square Lofts East has been great. Our apartment is beautiful; brand new appliances, a lot of storage space, great lighting, Juliet balcony, etc. A lot of great common spaces as well including a lounge over looking the square with a fire place, a courtyard with a pool on the way, a gym, a yoga room and a dog park right next to the building. The staff have been very accommodating and the security was well thought through.Once the Pandemic subsides you are also literally a minute walk to the PPL Center, Brü Daddy’s Brewery, Queen City BBQ and more. Highly recommend if you are moving to Allentown!

Mara Wolfe

Brand new appliances, beautiful bathroom and kitchen fixtures, and top notch amenity spaces (And a pool coming for summer 2021)!Building staff are friendly and always happy to help. Kaitlynn, Meagan, Robert, and Sabrina made sure my move was seamless. Great place to call home!

Nicholas White

I was one of the first people to move into CSL East back in October. There were a few issues involving construction early on. So the grand opening was definitely rushed.Now that the dust has settled, it is a 5 star building. It’s all brand new the units have stainless steel GE appliances, vinyl floors, and quarts countertops. The amenities are beyond impressive. You have access to 2 different gyms, multiple lounge areas and club rooms, a nice courtyard with grills and fire pits, a sky deck , coworking room, and a balcony overlooking the center square.If you’re going to live in Allentown, this is the best place to be. The Hamilton district is the business district with the PPL Center, artswalk, and all the best restaurants in the city.
