The Triple Crown Residences at Canterbury

"We moved in February 1,2024. Our apartment home is beautiful. Top of the line appliances flooring cabinets our two bedroom has huge walk in closets. The amenities are like being in a5 plus star resort. The indoor pool, the gym, entertainment rooms and the game room with golf simulator. Two outdoor pools with hot tubs and grills and plenty of seating areas to enjoy meals outdoors. We have heated garage and it has a car wash bay with air for tires and a vacuum plus a dog spa room and outside a huge dog run to have play dates with all the dogs who live here. Our neighbors are kind. The cleaning woman LuLu works hard everyday to keep the halls, elevators, entryway floors pristine for us. The maintenance team guys are all top notch. Professional friendly and knowledgeable. The ladies in the leasing office are all hard working and friendly as well. We love the Triple Crown and the city of Shakopee."

"My wife and I have lived here since Tc opened - Almost 4 years now. I know things have been hard lately - But for us it has been a blessing - We have had our issues - but, TC has always taken care of us - We owned a home for 21 years and decided to make to leap over the river and it has been the best move ever. For us Great Location and We will be here until the building falls - We Love it - And you will too!"

"I absolutely love my new apartment. The upgrades are wonderful in building 2. I have lived in some nice apartments and this place is at the top of my favorites. I feel so safe here which was an important reason for moving here along with the spectacular amenities. This place has it all! Our concierges are so helpful and kind. Every time I have an issue – it’s handled immediately plus; I truly like my neighbors, the staff and all the people that make this place run."

"I want to be fair in my review. I lived at Triple Crown for slightly more than a year. My apartment was one of the few 3 bedrooms, great layout and loads of natural sun. While living there, I greatly appreciated that it was always kept clean in the halls and common areas, the maintenance staff was great to come every month to change my furnace filter the moment I submitted a request. As a non-smoker I like that there is No smoking on the grounds - and they are great at enforcing. Indoor parking on the 3rd floor made it convenient to haul groceries to my apartment. The amenities are plenty and good security. I think it’s relatively fairly priced for the amenities and updated design. It was awesome to watch the 4th of July fireworks from my living room. The hot water and pressure is great!! They have a great water softener and no issues with calcium buildup. The appliances in my unit were top of the line and if you like to cook you will appreciate them. The gym is state of the art and you really can get everything you need here. The wifi is super fast and easy setup. So much cheaper than in Minneapolis. There is always something going on at Canterbury Park and it’s great to be close enough to walk. I did not experience noise from outside. It was very quiet at night. Heat bill each month was never more than $50. Other things I experienced: I have dust allergies and no matter how much a cleaned, changed filter every month, ran air purifiers in every room, there was a layer of dust on everything daily and I had challenges breathing the entire time I lived there (maybe the race track or maybe all the construction?? It was a major reason I needed to move). A family with small children lived upstairs and I could hear them running All times of day and find it very disturbing. I did share this with staff but little they can really do…my point, you CAN hear your neighbors. This was the other reason I moved - I work from home and felt I could not enjoy my space because of the constant noise upstairs from 7am until 9pm. Guest parking/ outside parking in general was becoming a problem. When people would visit, there was not enough parking inside the gate at times. Responsiveness of the staff near the end of my residency was not good. Emails not returned or multiple emails sent before responding. When I inquired about upcoming lease renewal/ intent to vacate it took more than 8 business days to get a response. They company is not transparent about move out expectations and what is considered normal w&t. The staff there is friendly enough but there has been a lot of turn-over so maybe they just need training in this area. I owned a professional cleaning company, and we did turns for multiple apartment complexes in the twin cities and it was standard to provide a checklist to renters on expectations and costs of professional cleaning. That is not the situation with Doran/Triple Crown. After move out, I was a bit surprised at a few of the things (yes my cleaners missed cleaning the washing machine) they charged me for; it appeared they were “searching for things” in an effort to not return my deposit. Note this is my impression, since I did not do a walk though and didn’t have a requirement checklist, it’s a he said/she said… I will say, I’ve lived in several complexes in my life and this is the 1st time I not only didn’t receive my entire deposit back but I had to pay additional fees. Lengthy as this is I wanted to give both the pros and cons. I think if you want an attractive clean place with a good gym, pool, you can follow logical HOA rules, want security and don’t mind some noise from neighbors this is a a great choice. I suggest you be proactive in asking for a documented definition and how they measure normal wear and tear before you move in. Otherwise not likely you will get any of your security deposit back. Also be proactive as you approach 60 days prior to lease end date to notify them or get renewal details since they won’t reach out to you. In general it’s nice place and well maintained."
