Open lofts are considered to be second bedrooms, not much privacy. The owners and manager are not kind, caring, ambitious people. Once they get a grudge against a resident, they ignore all calls, messages and emails. There is no consistency or follow through by any of the three of them. Talk to Susan at night, she will not recall the conversation the next morning. Find a better place to rent!

Ugh! Do not rent an apartment here! Where to begin? Let's start small and work our way up. First,…read morethe laundry leaves your clothes with a gunky film that the maintenance people seem unwilling to address. The apartment pipes needed pipe rings to cover the holes, but maintenance was always "ordering" them. The refrigerator was slightly damaged, and the stove had a glass top, which meant that it scratched very, very easily. This means you will not get much or any of your damage deposit back if you decide to cook in your own apartment like a normal human being. The walls are paper thin, and you can hear people in the bathroom, and have sex, and have sex in the bathroom. Like the other reviews have noted, there is a train that rumbles by at all hours, waking you up at godless hours of the night. And it gets mighty cold in the winter. Single pain windows with minimal insulation leave the apartments quite drafty. Also, my car was towed twice, with the second time done without reason; a woman who sort of works there, but not really thought it needed to be towed in September, and the tow truck guys showed up an towed it. Finally and worst of all, the Pottery Place flooded during the summer of 2017, and a lot of people had their stuff ruined. Not only that, but the residents in those apartments were told they had to leave and find new apartments around 4th of July weekend. To emphasize again, it is not worth it at all! Do yourself a favor and find another place to rent! Ugh!

Positives: It's a great location- within walking distance to bus stops, hiking/biking trails, and Hyvee. Quiet, good neighbors, and easy parking The bedrooms are sizeable and there's plenty of closet space. Laundry is present in every building Any time that I've had an issue, my landlord has been responsive and fixed the problem within 24 hours.

My husband and I toured every central apartment building in Rochester before moving here, and Lofts…read moreat Mayo Park was by far the best overall fit for us. We were looking for a modern, spacious, and convenient place for my husband's commute to Mayo during his fellowship, and this place has checked all of our boxes and more. Apartments The floor plans are open and thoughtfully designed, with floor-to-ceiling windows that let in tons of natural light. I was initially worried about insulation during the winter, but so far we haven't felt any cold seeping in - the Andersen windows are high quality, and the combination of light-filtering and blackout shades is a nice touch. Everything feels clean and new: light wood floors (no carpet, which was not true of many of the other apartments we toured), solid cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. Everything was spotless on move-in, which we really appreciated. Location The building sits right along the river, so every day feels like a serene getaway. You have access to many branches of the river trail, as it sits at a 3-point junction where the river splits - there are always many people walking, jogging, and biking to Mayo and around town. We love being so close to the Civic Center (just across the pedestrian bridge behind the building), especially for the Riverside concert series on Sunday evenings in the summer - this building is so close that you can even enjoy the concerts from the building's patio while grilling with friends. It's a little farther from the main downtown area (about a 5-minute longer walk to Gonda vs. other buildings that are downtown), but we actually like being slightly removed from the construction and traffic of the main downtown area. Parking downtown after 5 pm is free, so if you don't feel like walking, you can always make the short drive for dinner downtown. Management & Maintenance Working with Kevin and Anika to finalize our lease was such a pleasant experience, and maintenance requests since moving in have been handled quickly by Doug. As others have mentioned, the older negative reviews were for the previous management company (JMC). The new management company, Doro, has been excellent so far. Amenities There are only about 30 units in the building, so the community feels quiet and private. The heated underground parking garage is super convenient - since it's a smaller building, you don't have to drive up and down multiple levels, and the elevator goes straight to your floor (no separate garage elevator). The building is pet-friendly, with a pet wash station and dog treats in the lobby that my dog always happily accepts from Anika. There is a bike storage area, and a small gym - it's definitely smaller than the big apartment buildings, but most Mayo employees and spouses use the subsidized employee gym anyway (Dan Abraham Healthy Living Center), which has everything you could need. Living here has made our time in Rochester so much more enjoyable than we expected, especially coming from a big city. We always feel happy and relaxed coming home to Lofts at Mayo Park.

Highly recommend. Beautiful apartments that are well designed, good location along the river next…read moreto a walk, walking distance to downtown and Mayo Clinic Gonda/methodist.
