The Elysian

"I loved my apartment just the apartment itself. Management is awful about getting maintenance to fix anything in your apartments. I have consistent told then I need something fixed in my apartment. It continues to be an issue from the start. I had a toilet that had continuously running water. The maintenance order was put in September, it did not get fixed until maybe January or February. 24hr maintenance is not a thing here, nobody answers the phone. You will have to wait till the next day and still then it wouldn’t be fixed immediately. One of the worst experiences I’ve had with an apartment."

"I was looking to re-locate to Minneapolis and found Elysian close to the company that I would work for. I was hesitant because of some of the reviews, but wanted to give it a try anyways. I found out that the manager I worked with was polite and accommodating with my time since I had multiple meetings that day! They were very knowledgeable of the units and answered all my questions while giving me a few options that worked with my timeline. Needless to say that I felt comfortable and welcomed!"

"Look elsewhere! Ive had my fair share of bad building management, but this place takes the cake. You have to open your home to tours minimum once a month even if you just moved in. They don't give you any other option, so far we've been here LESS THAN 3 months and had three tours scheduled without requesting first, even providing less than 24 hours notice. I've lived in nearly a dozen apartmemt buildings and we nor anyone I've asked have ever been subjected to this.. We moved from a different state where we signed for a 2 bedroom, but the additional bedroom has no window. Upon move in, the place was dirty and unfinished. The floors and furniture are poorly taken care of and clearly not cleaned before move in and there are tears all over the walls. There's exposed wires and often broken furniture in the hallways. The management is VERY inconsistent, so if you need packages, I'd recommend buying a PO box since the staff locks them up and is around for only a couple of hours a day if you're lucky. I've tried emailing the manager Marc in an attempt to not lock up our deliveries, but like many others said, of course no response.. The location is nice, and the coffee maker is nice, but the gym is often closed, and the tanning bed has never been open. Look elsewhere for housing! Bad management is not worth it"

"Stayed for a year after moving in with three friends: rooms were surprisingly spacious and well furnished. Distance from campus never felt too far and never had any issues with excessive noise. Marc, the property manager, was always very nice and a friendly face to always see in the building. The amenities were never a huge game changer, but having free hot chocolate and donuts was certainly a nice add on. We only ever had two major issues during our stay. The first was that it took 3-4 months for some of our major maintenance requests to get fixed. We later found out that the property company had only two people hired at the time to handle maintenance requests for their entire series of properties. The second issues was a spate of thefts that occurred throughout the first month or so of our stay. The apartment has very little security aside from locked doors and people were pretty lax on keeping those without keys from getting in. These problems may have been exacerbated at the time due to the pandemic, but they were rather annoying nonetheless. In spite of the issues, I would call the Elysian one of the better deals for an apartment near campus—especially if you have a group of three or four. If you are ever in need of food, go to the Maxwell’s restaurant right across the street, you won’t regret"

"This is actually the first review I've ever left... anywhere, but the Elysian is worth my going out of the way. We've had all the space we needed even sharing a two bedroom apartment with 4 people. It came with TV and furniture which made everything really easy getting in and out. There were a few things that were broken but not to the point where they are unusable. This is really just run off from previous property managers who didn't really care to take action to help us get things fixed, but that is no longer. Now we have a wonderful property manager who helped us get some things fixed right away, and refills the free coffee machine more regularly. There is also a nice lobby to study in and every few Fridays, donuts or ice cream which you can work off later in the workout room. It's definitely been everything we needed and more."
