The office staff and maintenance staff have been great. Most of the time they can respond to repairs within 24 hours. We have lived here three years and they've always been friendly and helpful.

We moved here because they are on the busline (3B) to both downtown areas and the University of Minnesota (about a 20 minute busride). Also, they offer garage parking, AC/heat included in rent, and a washer/dryer in every apartment. You can also walk to Como Park, the Fairgrounds, or to St. Paul Saints games. Shopping or going to parks up in Roseville is not a far drive either.

Our electric bills run around $40-60 a month for a two-bedroom apartment. The trees and path that run behind the buildings are nice. I always see people from the nearby office complexes going for walks along the path during the day.
The apartments themselves are part of a complex that includes condos that people have purchased. That makes it nice too - knowing there are people who've invested money into a place and try to keep it nice.

The garage is handy. It keeps our cars hidden from the snow and ice in winter and makes it much more pleasant to go out to the car even if it is chilly outside. I've never had my car broken into in the three years I've parked there (I don't keep valuables or anything except a kid's carseat in there though). I did have a small push cart stolen which I kept in my garage spot, but I sort of knew when I left it out there that it could happen so I didn't care too much. I didn't have it locked up and knew it was a risk, but I don't blame the apartments for that. Just beware of what you leave outside (which I think is true no matter where you live).

Our apartment is about 1 building in from the railroad tracks. You can hear the trains if you have your windows open. Also, at night, you can sometimes hear the clanging and banging of the nearby switching yard when everything is quiet. When my heat or AC are on, however, I don't hear it and it's never been enough to wake me up. My 2-year old daughter actually likes living near the trains and when we go for walks around the complex, she loves to watch them go by! So the trains have been an asset rather than a detraction from this complex.

The complex seems to have a good mix of young single people, college-aged students, families with young children (mostly international families), and professionals. There is also a police officer and firefighter who live in our building, as well as several retired folks. I haven't noticed a lot of noise and I've even made friendships with some of my neighbors, making me feel even more safe here.

I've lived in LOTS AND LOTS of apartments since being in college, graduate school, and working. This is the longest I've ever lived in an apartment complex in tweleve years. The only reason we are moving is because we bought a house! I'd recommend this complex to anyone looking for a decent, quiet place to live with amenities such as garage parking, washer/dryer, and central AC. And I can't stress enough how helpful and friendly the apartment office staff and maintenance workers have been (especially Janet and Rick)! (They even helped me with groceries when they saw me struggling with the bags and my infant daughter!) It makes all the difference!
