Garden Square Apts

If you’re thinking of living here, consider the following points that I personally experienced while renting. I moved from California, so, it could be that Minnesota renting standards are just lower or certain laws don’t apply as they do in California.
Cons:
1. If something breaks in your apartment, its takes forever for them to come fix it. Really, I waited an average of a week to get anything fixed.
2. Your neighbors are LOUD as hell Monday through Thursday. I know, strangest freaking times of the week. But, guess it makes sense, since complex so close to college. No one puts a stop to it either.
3. Fitness room, not really a fitness room. You couldn’t really workout unless you’re a huge fan of treadmills. No free weights either.
4. There is this weird smell through the hallways, not pleasant at all.
5. The leasing office is damn near ALWAYS closed when you need it. A couple of times I figured I would sacrifice going to work late so I could talk to the girls about issues/​inquiries, but they were nowhere to be seen and the office was closed. In addition, there were plenty of times when they would leave early, and just when you thought you were going to make it in time before they closed so you could pick up the package you were waiting weeks for, they were closed.
My experience wasn’t a very pleasant one, and believe me, I have a high tolerance for BS.
Pros:
Depending on what kind of lease you sign, 6 or 12 month, you know the lease will eventually end, so, you just start marking the days on your calendar. The agonizing pain of points 1 – 5 doesn’t last forever.
Close to downtown and college.
PS There is another filtered review you should see. Doesn’t seem that they had a pleasant experience either.
