I lived here for four years during medical school. It was a wonderful experience overall.

Some things I liked about living here:
- LOCATION: Downtown is a short walk, including the stadium. The U of MN east bank is one train stop away. Many hospitals are on the light rail so it was great to be so close to the West Bank Station. You can also take the light rail to airport which is great. the There's a chipotle very close as well.
- SAFETY: I felt very safe living here. Never had any issues with... safety in this area or the building. The building is locked which is nice. I also like that the first floor is the lobby so even if you live on the first floor of apartments you aren't on ground level.
- AMENITIES: great to have an elevator. I think in four years only once did it break and was fixed quickly. There's also heated assigned garage parking which is amazing in the winter and one of the selling points for me. They have a secure package room which keeps packages from being stolen. There's a pool and gym as well.
- APARTMENT: Big closet with lots of storage place. Bathroom well lit. Lots of kitchen storage. Reliable appliances. For apartments facing the light rail, the sun is amazing. I have never had happier house plants than I did when living here (see below). It also helps your mood in winters to get lots of natural light. Most apartments have a spacious deck which I used a ton. It's big enough to have plants/a small garden on it. I also had a patio chair and table and loved sitting out there and studying when the weather was nice. Because it has a screen door, you get a ton of natural light because your whole wall is a big window.
- UTILITIES: I don't think I ever turned on heating when I lived here because the apartments around me kept my apartment pretty warm. Additionally, in the summer you can get away without the AC on many days. This is in part because the deck means there's a sliding door with a screen which allowed a lot of fresh air. Additionally, a large tree provided shade in the afternoon.
- COMMUNITY: most people in the building are professionals or graduate students going to school nearby. There were not tons of younger college kids. Because it's all studios, there weren't large families or lots of kids and thus the building was very quiet.
- STAFF: I interacted with many staff in four years, and they were all responsive and very reasonable. Zach and Sydney were especially great! Read More

I've lived in these apartments for almost 4 years now and I really like it. I like the landlords, and how they make sure that residents are safe, informed and get things fixed promptly. The apartments feel huge and are perfect for a bachelor like myself. I think that the area is quiet and close to everything. I highly recommend these.

The landlords are very nice and easy to bring any questions to. The building is very quiet (it’s mostly grad/law students and professionals) and it feels safe in the building. Ive never had issues finding parking in the parking lot. I’ve had a great experience here.

The apartments are located in a very good area. Close to campus and the West Bank lightrail stop. Management gets back to you in a timely manner whenever there is a problem. There is some street parking for guests though it fills up pretty quickly. It's really nice having a pool too and there is a great view of the new football stadium.
