Riverview Tower

Riverview Tower is a hidden gem in the Minneapolis high-​rise condo market. I’ve lived here for about a year now and have been very happy; specifically, this is what I like:
— Extremely good soundproofing between units due to concrete construction. I never hear my neighbors, except from the hallway. I don’t think newer buildings are built like this anymore.
— Fantastic views; all units have continuous windows which capitalizes on this.
— Well run and financially sound association.
— Friendly and helpful staff.
— Very fast elevators.
— Great access to biking/​walking paths along the river. The building is also right next to a recently constructed pedestrian tunnel under the 35W bridge, providing very easy access to downtown.
— Nice amenities, including an indoor pool and workout room.
— The lobby and hallways were recently renovated.
— Easy freeway access, and a very short walk to the West Bank light rail station (Green Line).
Some things to keep in mind: Pets are not allowed in the building (a positive in my opinion and one of the reasons I wanted to live here) so this would not be a good option for dog/​cat owners. Although covered parking is readily available, there is a wait list for heated parking. Parking spaces are not deeded and are rented on a monthly basis. Also, although it is possible to rent one’s unit, the rules on this are fairly restrictive so the building is by far mostly owner-​occupied. Association fees may appear high on a square-​footage basis, however all utilities (including electricity, as units are not individually metered) are included. I think that the association fees are reasonable considering what’s included and the high financial stability of the association.
As far as the people who live here, it’s a nice mix of professionals, graduate students, and retirees. Many have been happily living here for decades.
When I was in the buying process I was eager for any information from those living in certain buildings, so hopefully this is helpful. I love living here and would recommend it to anyone who is fine with the «things to keep in mind» listed above.
