The Buckingham / The Commodore / The Parkway Apartments

I did not like living there. My package was stolen the first week I moved there and they did nothing to find it and they gave me no explanation to why they could not find the package. And when you plan to move out early even if it is an emergency, expect to pay high fees. Even if you are no longer living in the apartment you still pay for moving out early, that is horrible. Honestly I regret living there and I would no recommend this place for anybody unless they like to pay high fees for no... reason. Lee mas

Confirmed a date and time to tour their available apartments but got stood up. Waited in the cold for 10 minutes buzzing in and trying to contact them, but there was no one in the office. It’s been a week and they have not apologized or even followed up.

I have lived here for nine years and have enjoyed it. The building is well maintained and the staff is responsive to requests. The location is another plus. I highly recommend it!

Beautiful looking property that they are continually doing small renovation projects to keep it pretty, but its all surface level. In my apartment the bathtubs water has been constantly running for the past 4 months with no one doing anything about it. I have tryed leaving many service requests and emailing the property manager with 0 action. It has gotten so bad mold has started growing on multiple surfaces around the bathroom. Another issue we have had is the baseboard heater in the main part... of the unit has not work ever since i moved in, it has gotten down to -40 degree temps this winter so we were forced to use a space heater which costed us an extra $80 a month to run when Heating is supposedly payed for already having to rack up my electrical bill for their issues seems unlawful.

This is not the nicest but not the worst neighborhood in Minneapolis. I have lived here three years and definitely recommend living at Buckingham Apartments. Our neighborhood and the city of Minneapolis has had civil unrest this past year, and we are making a fast and recognizable recovery. I REALLY like my apartment. I have lived here 3 years. The first year my owners were great but not interested in updating the building. Then there was a difficult transition year two when we were... between management companies. Fortunately, we have a great new management team and they are very responsive and pleasant to work with. They communicate well and are transparent with us about all construction and improvement projects happening in the building. There is a nice gym and a mod pool/hot tub common room in our basement. It is safe and secure all around the building. We live by a fire station on a street where cars are exiting from downtown, so if you haven't lived in a big city before this could be an adjustment. But I endure the nightlife and busy street, because I have a good view of downtown (on the north side of the building) and I am saving a lot of money living here rather than finding an overpriced apartment in North Loop or even near me in Loring Park. Since this was a hotel in the 1920's, there are many small units that are great for students, twenty-somethings, or anyone who needs a small space near downtown. There are some larger apartments for families too. Lee mas
