I've lived here since 2012, and I'm such a fan…read more To be honest, things started out a little rocky. The day we moved in, the previous tenant held over and was nowhere to be found, and through some management snafu our parking spots had been double rented to other tenants. We were understandably frustrated, but they were dealing with a management switch and got us into another unit post haste. They even gave us a REALLY sweet deal to upgrade to a loft for essentially the same price as we were going to pay for a studio walkout. About 10 months into the loft we were getting antsy for bedrooms, and they let us transfer into an empty two bedroom on the first floor, again, at a great deal. I've already resigned a lease for my third year here, and love my first floor alcove. The building is such a pet and people friendly place. I really enjoy all of my neighbors! Oh, and did you know we have a live-in massage therapist? Because we do! The management has been through a few changes, but the current staff is awesome. Corrin and Nolan are really great and will do their best to accommodate any request. Seriously, this is about as good as it gets!

This apartment is a well-oiled machine and when something needs to be done, they do it well! Our apartment is spacious, well insulated and very much limits noise. It has great amenities like rooftop deck and grills, a hot tub, sauna, a gym and a package room to keep our mailings secured. The heated underground parking is a must in the cities and luckily they have plenty of spots! There are no weird hidden costs or fees and the community here is very lovely, quiet and respectful

These apartments are amazing. Very modern and comfortable. They also have the most sq footage I…read morefound in this general area. The common spaces are also very nice to use to do work or just chill. I also appreciate the convenience of it being close to the train. It has a nice gym, sauna and hot tub. All neighbors so far have been very nice people. Most importantly management is very responsive to any issues I have and always very nice. I have lived here for a year and a half and plan to continue to do so until I eventually outgrow the space.

I'm a newbie here at The Laurel, having moved in just a couple of months ago. I knew in the fall…read moreof 2021 that I would be moving to Minnesota, so I flew into Minneapolis in November of that year to start looking around. I had five or six apartment complexes on my list of buildings to tour, and when all was said and done, The Laurel was one of only two apartment complexes that I liked well enough to even think about renting. In January 2022, a one-bedroom became available at The Laurel, and I grabbed it. I'd been hoping for a two-bedroom, two bath, but I had to get my foot in the door and I figured I could always move into a two-bedroom when one became available. To tell you the truth, though, the apartments here at The Laurel are so very spacious that I've found a one-bedroom to be more than ample for me. I haven't met everyone yet, but everyone I've met so far is delightful, and so are Tony (the manager) and Adam (the assistant manager). It was Adam who gave me the tour of the grounds last November, and I have to say that he was an invaluable help to me, as I was relocating from out-of-state. Computers are not my strong suit and not everyone would have had the patience to walk me through one online necessity after another in the way that Adam did. He persevered without complaining and I so appreciated that. Thank you, Adam! :) This is the first apartment I've lived in in ages, and before I moved into The Laurel, I assumed I'd live here for a while and then, buy a property nearby in which to live. I guess I thought that because that's what I've been doing for decades, but I'm having a change of heart and could see myself living here forever. The complex is clean, quiet, and very well-maintained; and the amenities, while not exhaustive, are really very nice. I see the amenities as quality over quantity. To sum it up, I can't imagine giving The Laurel anything less than 5 stars, and if I could, I'd give management and the grounds even more than that. Suffice it to say, I love it here, and I think you would, too!

I lived here for exactly 2 years, the majority of which were during the Covid-19 pandemic/lockdown…read more What really appealed to us when we first signed was the amazing front desk staff, but the staff did have a pretty high turnover rate and by the end of our stay, we were less than impressed by the staff. Pros: -Very quiet apartments: we could rarely hear our neighbors. -LOCATION!!!! You can't get better than this location, especially if you work at/near UMN. I didn't have a car, but never had a problem managing/getting around. -Rent specials--we got 2 months of rent off/year for signing a 2-year contract. -The apartments are really nice, and well maintained. Maintenance crew is always great. -Natural light is unbeatable. In the summer, we sometimes never had to turn our lights on! Cons: -Lax covid restrictions throughout pandemic; staff didn't enforce any of their own rules. Furthermore, the staff themselves always had their masks sagging off their noses/mouth and wouldn't bother to pull them up when approached. They were also pretty rude about it when we reached out to them. -The kitchen sink faucets really suck--the water isn't dispersed and it comes shooting out so it would always spray everywhere when we turned the water on. -Lots of hidden fees: $25/month for amenities (which they continued to charge throughout covid, even though they canceled most of the amenities), $4 transaction fee to pay your water/sewer, etc. -I felt they were pretty dishonest with the deposit. We kept our apartment really clean, and also spent 3 hours cleaning it before we moved out, but $25 (+ $50 for "painting") was still deducted from our deposit for "cleaning." They clearly just scrape a bit off the top of everyone's deposit. -Somehow these apartments just get really dusty really quickly! We would do a deep dust/vacuum every 2 weeks or less, never wore shoes in the house, had no pets, but there would always be a thick layer of dust on our toilet/counter tops within a few days! Have no idea if it is a ventilation problem, but we changed our air filters and even purchased an air purifier but nothing helped. Even though the cons section is pretty long, I would still live here again if I had to! I really loved my cozy apartment here and enjoyed being walking distance to so much stuff. The frat bro-y staff was the biggest turn off for us.

We lived at 7West for a few years before moving to the other side of town for awhile. When it came…read moretime to move once more, we jumped at the chance to live here again! Some of our favorite things about 7West include: * Amazing staff that really cares about their residents. I've seen/heard of everything from them sending flowers to newly engaged couples to helping move-ins from out of the country get acclimated. There are regular resident events with delicious food and amazing prizes. And the care doesn't just extend to the human residents... dogs are favorite visitors to the leasing office, with scrumptious treats and lots of head pats available to all. * Beautiful apartments. They may be smaller (at least if you're used to a house), but the spaces are so well designed you'll never miss the extra square footage. And the huge floor-to-ceiling windows with loads of natural light help a lot, too! * Great community spaces, including the biggest, nicest gym I've seen (after touring dozens of downtown apartment buildings). The community room is spacious, the patio has a fantastic view of the river, and the (underused) tea garden is tranquil and beautiful. * You can't get more convenient of a location. One block off 35 and just a few blocks from downtown. Within walking distance of the west bank light rail station and campus. Lots of bus stops. Nice Ride, Zip Car, plus all the scooters. A half a dozen restaurants. And with the new Trader Joe's just down Washington (an easy 12 minute walk), I can't think of anything that would make it a better place to live. * Active but quiet neighborhood. You'd think this would be a noisy location, not at all conducive to sleep, but it's actually pretty quiet around here. There is so much to love here at 7West. From the moment you walk in the building and are greeted by staff that takes the time to learn and remember who you are, you will feel right at home here. (Seriously, the staff is the absolute best!)

The building also hosts a few events- a nice way to get to the know the neighbors. Charles, the guest experience manager is exceptional and both Aaron and Jann, who work in building maintenance, are the kindest and most wonderful people. I love the aesthetics (the brick is beautiful and the windows are so stunning), love the amenities, but it's the community that makes it feel like home. Highly recommend!

If you decide to move to Minneapolis, don't even look ELSEWhere! Get it?…read more But seriously, this place is about as good as it gets. The public spaces are GORGEOUS. If you're shopping in this neighborhood, you must see this Rooftop. Best in the cities. The apartments themselves are quite spacious and boast tall ceilings throughout. Don't even get me started about the windows. I'm obsessed. I adore the community that lives here. The building hosts a weekly happy hour and it really allows me to get to know my neighbors. Fun bars are only a few steps away for those who like to socialize. The neighborhood is also perfect for foodies. Bar La Gras, Bachelor Farmer, and Demi are all walkable. My only criticism is that Sam, the manager, is just too good at her job. Seriously, one of the best I've seen; and I've seen many. Come on Sam! No one is perfect all the time. How do you do it!? You're making the rest of us look bad! Now, I'm going to get back to my complimentary coffee - provided in the lobby bar - while you ponder moving in. You won't regret it. I promise.

Sarah was incredibly helpful with my recent move to Saint Paul from another state.

She always responded quickly and having the assistance and expertise for moving to a metro area I didn't have much knowledge about made it much easier for me. Highly recommended!

We are planning a move from Philadelphia to Minneapolis and we only had a few days to see a number…read moreof apartments in downtown Minneapolis. Prior to our trip, I emailed Apartment Mart with our needs, and Sarah responded promptly with guidelines and suggestions. We shared our price-range and that we wanted to live downtown; within a few days Sarah had made all of the appointments on our behalf and emailed a thorough schedule for our two-day visit. Apartment Mart has a relationship with many of the new/highrise apartment buildings in the city, but we were also interested in a few of the older buildings, (and rented condominiums), that Apartment Mart doesn't represent. Sarah was clear as to which of these she wouldn't make appointments, (and instructed us to contact them on our own); but left some time in our schedule to see these units as well. All in all, Sarah made coordinating a whirlwind schedule virtually painless. I'd recommend them to anyone who is looking for an apartment in Minneapolis.
