Staff was very friendly and always helpful. Maintenance was done within 24 hours, sometime same day.
Apartments are on the 3B busline, so direct shot to both U campuses and both downtowns. You can walk to St Paul Saints or Fairgrounds. Jog or short drive to Como Park. Energy Park is off the beaten path, so a little quiet.
Building was well built and insulated. Electricity bills were around $30-50 per month. Heat and A/C is paid for. Apartment layout was open and spacious. Lots of natural light.
Garage is nice, keeps the car out of the elements. Plus was nice to avoid frigid temps when going to the car. Never had issue with safety or break ins. (Don't leave valuables in your car).
Our apartment was close to the train tracks. It was a bit noisy and the apartment shook a little. But we got used to it. Maybe make sure where you apartment is located, the last building on west of complex is close to the train track. But it also allowed a stellar view of fireworks during 4th of July and the State Fair.
Double check the washer & dryer. Ours vented inside, our only complaint as it made the upstairs pretty warm and humid.
The first couple years we lived there the crowd was mostly grad student families and young professionals, very peaceful and friendly. The last six months a few college kids and recent grads moved in. Bit more noisy, but maybe they'll learn they're not in the dorm anymore.
