THE PROPERTY
The apartments are really nice and spacious, higher ceilings, subway tile back splash, and nice wide dark stained base.
Our apartment doesn't have the linen closet or medicine cabinet in the bathroom and kitchen cabs are tiny but the other positives override these issues and we bought cabinets from target to house our stuff. In all fairness, I did view some other units here recently which do have the pantry cabinets for more storage so be sure to ask ahead of time. There are a few other quirks like the blinds don't seem to close all the way. They are quite large windows. We got some curtains which took care of the issue. You're going to need 95" long if you go that route. They look great. I'm glad we put them up.
I love the rooftop deck and lounge, panoramic views of the city, the movie room and club room and many other amenities. The club room can be rented out for private parties. During the day or night you may see people in there on their laptops or watching TV, eating lunch or drinking coffee and there is free WiFi in the immediate area.
They seem to always have events which is nice.
In and outside the Club room and coffee area there are dozens of tables chairs, booths, couches, stuffed chairs, firm seating, all manner of furnishings for all different lounging and comfort levels.There are 3 bathrooms right off the club room area and one has a walk in shower.
There are too many amenities and events to mention.
I thought I was in heaven when I saw the coffee machine available for residents. Side note: There are cups stocked but I heard someone say its better to bring your own mug. Hot Cocoa and Teas as well.
The fitness center is laid out quite well with pretty much space between equipment. They supply mats and kettle Bells, medicine balls and hand weights. The equipment is in good shape I see people being respectful and wiping down after use. There is a space to stretch or do your own thing on a mat. They have free Pilates and Body Sculpting as well as Yoga on the roof. Pretty nice! Its also quiet and temp controlled. They do allow pets and if you have a furry one there are some grassy areas all around the building and the park is just 2 blocks away and the community has other dogs to socialize with. I never hear barking dogs.
I havent used the pool but it looks inviting, clean and best of all not noisy.
The Underground Parking is FREE~ Nice! Especially when it gets to be 47 below zero right?
Did I mention the skyways between buildings? This way you can get to amenities easily no matter which building you are in. I don't this I've seen an apartment community this side of downtown with sky ways and I think its the only one in Edina if I am correct.
THE PEOPLE
We were renting from out of state. Jess was wonderful helping us find an apartment. Her friendliness and welcoming personality that sold us.
The front desk Concierge Katrina on weekends is very personable and friendly. Adam & Dan & Skylar concierges afternoons and evenings have been helpful and upbeat which is what you want as your representing the front door of the business.
The Caretakers are always working hard smiling all the time they must really enjoy their work and it shows.
Its really important to us to feel comfortable where we are living as you see these people everyday. You want to feel welcomed. You do not want to feel like you are bothering people when you have a question.
The residents are very welcoming and friendly. People of all ages live here. It's not a noisy place and people seem respectfully and clean. You don't see alot of disgusting trash or spills or cigarettes butts
The price point is average for the area infact I think you get a little more bang here for your buck.
Maintenance is good.They always work as a team
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
WOW! We are surrounded by stuff+ things to do in all directions. I wouldn't know where to start or stop.
