The Sexton

HUGE loft like condos. I mean HUGE for this area…
Great door staff.
Thick walls so you cant hear a word from your neighbors.
Old building with lots of charm… used to be the Sexton food… COOL!
Great location that is downtown, yet quite… very hard to find. You are walking distance to the el, restaurants, EBC, etc.
Fitness room in the building that is pretty decent. Rooftop deck that is nothing special but does have some great views. Dry cleaning in the building with package pick up. Garage under the building that is NICE! Bike room for your two wheeler. Storage on the first floor for all the junk that you dont want in your place.
Love this little place. :)

For the past year we’ve been residing in this loft condo building in River North. We moved out a few days into a condo that we’re supe psyched about, but The Sexton will definitely be missed!
I’ve seen a lot of condos in this building through our condo search and I have a few friends who live there as well. Most of the condos are pretty similar to one another… ours was a 2 bedroom/​2 bathroom. The 2^nd bedroom was pretty small, but it had a massive living room, a walk in closet that people dream about, and a very impressive up to date master bathroom (has both a walk in shower and jacuzzi tub).
The doorman here are very friendly and you definitely feel safe! Mr. Lewis, the doorman during the weekdays, runs a tight shift. Fellow Austin Unilocaler, Kevin N, once visited me and Mr. Lewis not only requested a business card from him, but also kept it! My only complaint about the door staff is that whenever I was carrying a lot of boxes (pretty often for my job) that didn’t even help me open the door. There were many times I was struggling and tripping all over the place and they just let me! I’ve already noticed a huge difference with the helpfulness of the doormen in my new building.
There’s a dry cleaners on site who’s a little expensive, but does a good job and it’s nice having it right in the building. And they also collect packages here… and the 2 women who work here do actually help you load them on the cart (unlike those doormen).
The gym in the building is adequate, but most people seem to belong to the east bank club, which is conveniently right next door. The location itself of this building is great because it’s so close to downtown, but it would be nice to have a few more restaurants to grab a quick bite to eat nearby… but new places are popping up everyday!
When we first moved in I was a bit anti River North after spending a fabulous 5 years in Old Town, but I learned to love and appreciate this neighborhood. Thanks for a good year Sexton– I’m sure we’ll be back to visit!
