Soo Line Building City Apartments

They unfortunately have scaled down on the security. Located within the skyways but lost of parties and multiple incidences where police have had to raid the rooftop. This area of town is unsafe for a building that does not have consistent security. If village green was no longer managing, and someone decided to take building security seriously then I would recommend living here! But at the current time the amenities aren't even safe or useable, especially the rooftop where kids threw rocks off... and shut down the light rail. Lee mas

After looking at over 20 different apartment properties near the U, we found SL to be the best and most ideal for our needs checking off all of our boxes. Right next to the light rail, you can get to the U in 10 minutes. It is conveniently located in downtown and very walk-able to many venues, restaurants and shops. This area of downtown and the underground parking seems a lot safer than many others I have seen. The SL management staff has been terrific to work with and very responsive... to our needs in welcoming us to live here. A special thanks to Amanda and Logan! The apartment we are in is very nice and we look forward to using the nice amenities that SL has to offer specially the roof top pool and hot tub with the spectacular 360 view of the city. I think it will be very comfortable and relaxing living here and look forward to meeting our new neighbors as well. Lee mas

Generally, we had a great experience at the Soo Line. The apartments are in great condition, the location is outstanding, and the amenities are really well maintained. And, contrary to some of the earlier reviews, the management has always been friendly and responsive.

It's great to have a good restaurant downstairs, Peloton bikes in the workout room, a gorgeous 20th floor commons, and a year-round pool and hot tub arrangement!

The first issue, though, is noise. The floors and walls here are... really thin which means that you are at the complete mercy of your neighbors. When we had good neighbors all was well, but when we had bad neighbors. . .

If quiet is a value, and if you aren't up for the risk of hearing your neighbors parties or their music through the ceiling, then it's worth a second thought.

The second issue is parking. Residents use the 517 Marquette lot next door. As downtown garages go it's poorly monitored and all manner of mischief goes down there. My car had the window broken out and was vandalized, and Nextdoor posts confirm that I'm not the only one.

These things happen, and I don't blame Soo Line. But, if you have a car, you need to know that it's going into a less than ideal garage. Lee mas

Soo Line has been wonderful! I had a few hiccups during the move-in process but everyone did everything they could to help make it work. All the people in the office and at that concierge desk are very helpful.
The app they have is pretty neat! You can make maintenance requests, get package notifications, and post on a virtual community board.
I love that I can't hear my upstairs neighbors at all (I can hear my neighbors on either side of me but they are quiet most of the time). The connection... to the skyway has been fantastic.
I was very nervous to move downtown, but so far my experience at Soo Line has been better than expected. Lee mas

The location of Soo Line is fantastic! Easy light rail and bus access, downtown restaurants, and indoor skyway access all in one community. I was able to take public transportation to work and walk to get groceries even during the winter. The amenities are great too...indoor pool and hot tub, rooftop patio outdoor area, and fitness center. I thought the management was friendly and maintenance was quick to respond to any needs. I did not notice any noise issues and neighbors were polite. I would... highly recommended this place. The only downside I can think of is that the underground heated parking is expensive, although I did not use this amenity so I can't speak to the value of the parking situation. Lee mas
