Lilium Apartments

The good:
Building was almost always quiet with decent gym and laundry areas, there was convenient public transit nearby (including the metro and several major bus lines), and near multiple grocery stores (Target, Trader Joe's).

The bad:
My car was broken into in the paid lot less than a month after moving in. The building manager was often hard to get in contact with, needing to be called multiple times over several days to get a response, and then being hurried and having an attitude when you... can finally get his attention. In addition, even for a studio apartment, it's a small place and you have to get used to sirens from the Hennepin County Medical Center right next door.

Overall, if you're a broke graduate student who really just needs a place to sleep and will be out of the house all the time, this place works for a year or two. However, if you can afford anything nicer, I would recommend that instead. Lee mas

I lived at Lillium apartments for a year and a half and I absolutely loved it. The building is fully updated inside with hardwood floors, beautiful dark wood trim, plenty of cabinet/closet space, and fully updated restrooms. I was able to park in the lot for a reasonable price and had a storage unit included in my rent. There is also a bike room! The property manager lives in the building and is extremely reliable and helpful. Maintenance requests are answered quickly. The location worked great... for me as I love city/downtown life. I would have stayed longer but my boyfriend and I moved in together and needed more space. My studio at Lillium will always hold a special place in my heart! Lee mas
