Moved here in May 2018 from Wisconsin with all my stuff packed up because I was starting my new job within 2 days of moving in and so I basically came up here without seeing any other apartments. I love Laura, the property manager. She's been amazingly helpful when I lost said job I moved up here for. I honestly think she's a great human being. I live in the back building out of the 2 buildings on the property and on the 3rd floor. Please realize that you are potentially moving into an old complex so there is no elevator. However, I have an 88 pound dog, Jake, and their pet deposit and pet rent is by far some of the cheapest in Coon Rapids. The building is secure, no mice, it's kept up relatively frequently as well as the grounds. The maintenance guy can take some time getting used to but work orders are done within a day or two - August my fridge went and they had to order one but they let me use a fridge of a vacant apartment, so even though I needed to walk a few doors down the hallway, most my food didn't go bad and as a person who had been unemployed already for a month and wouldn't be starting her new job for another 4 weeks, that was supremely helpful. My new fridge was installed and I love it so far! The dishwasher in my apartment works great. My only issue was with the garbage disposal - it did encounter a cracked housing and they are starting to not replace them in the buildings but maintenance did slather silicone all over it as a temporary remedy and so far that has worked for the past 6 weeks. Overall, for the price, it's decent and I'd say if you're looking for a safe place and friendly staff, this is a great place. Be warned though, A LOT of weed smokers, so if you can get passed that smell wafting into hallways sometimes, overall it's not an issue; however, there is nothing cops can really do, nor do they really want to do anything about because it's just weed nowadays. *shrug* Overall, with the exception of 1 or 2 people in my building, I've developed quite a few friendships or at least friendly encounters. The washer and dryer on my floor work fine so I can't complain too much about that either. I would probably choose this place again if I had to do it all over again given my circumstances.
