Resident 2003 - 2011

5/13/2011

I've lived here for 8 years and the only reason I'm leaving is because I have to move to another state for a job otherwise I think I could easily live here forever! I've lived a 2 br townhouse with a roommate, in a large 1 br on my own and now I'm in a medium 1br on my own. HVA is perfectly located in Saint Paul near the river for recreation and since it's such a central location it's convenient to get around Saint Paul and Minneapolis from this as home base. You can also walk two blocks to the grocery store, several great restaurants/cafes and cute little shops too. And the buildings and units are really impeccable with top notch, beautifully restored and maintained hardwood floors, gorgeous views, ivy covered buildings, and updated kitchens and bathrooms. I've always felt very safe here too since there are secure entrances to each of the buildings and the neighbors and the staff really watch out for everyone in the community vigilantly. A little about the grounds too: there are courtyards behind each of the buildings that anyone can use and the green space is literally like having a private park in your back yard-I love it! The staff here is outstanding too - not just typically friendly, truly outstanding. They go out of their way to help make the HVA community welcoming and every request I've ever made for maintenance - no matter how simple - gets taken care of almost faster than I can put in the request. In the winter I've even received help digging my car out of feet of snow (there are garages available for rent, but I've not opted for one). I've also never had issues with bugs, rodents, mold, leaks or anything else like I have at other places. I just don't know where you're going to find a better place to live in Highland Park for such an affordable price with all these perks! I know I'm going to have a hard time finding something this great where I'm moving, HVA has totally spoiled for other places! This truly feels like home to me and I'm sad to be leaving, but hopefully when I move back to the area I can be a "Village Person" again!
