The Lyndy is simply a great place to call home! As a recent transplant from outside of Minnesota and the upper midwest, I could not be happier with the decision to call Lyndy home. I few key reasons why Lyndy is terrific is because of the management, tenants, community spaces/amenities, and location.
The management is outstanding. As an individual who works professionally within housing, I am impressed with the attention to detail, care for tenants, and more. A few things to highlight include: management office is open 7 days a week-includes evening hours, holding tenants accountable to lease requirements, hosting events for tenants to get to know one another, sending friendly emails with events in the area along with Lyndy happenings, and simply placing packages in our apartments when needed. For me, I was unable to be home when my living room was delivered, but they kindly made sure my furniture was not left in the hallway.
As someone who is a transplant, I was pleased to find a building with tenants who are very inclusive to everyone. This was a characteristic that I tried to ask about when apartment searching throughout Minneapolis/St. Paul, but due to the Fair Housing Act, I was unable to always receive clear answers. However, I've had consistent interactions with many residents and Lyndy certainly feels like an inclusive, welcoming, and accepting space for all.
The community spaces, amenities, and apartment finishings are great. It may be difficult to get a sense of what it is like to truly live here with an apartment tour. However, as for the apartments - they are great. Noise between apartments (from upstairs and direct neighbors) is almost inaudible. The building does have quiet hours, which is an expectation from management and the tenants are respectful of this as well. The community spaces (i.e. roof lounge, living room, etc.) are a great place for entertaining, meeting new people, or simply your morning coffee! Lastly, I personally enjoy that the roof cannot be reserved for multiple days on a given weekend, as this allows the space to be open for the tenants.
The location is also terrific. Being located literally adjacent to the Greenway; along with being 2 blocks from Lyndale Ave, and 10 blocks from Hennepin Ave has its many benefits. It is a very walkable or bike able location.
Overall, you will be hard-pressed to find a better combination of a management team/company, location, amenities, and overall community! read more
