Risor of St. Louis Park - Active Adult 55+

Broken Promises: We moved in the day Risor opened Nov. 27, 2023 after their very rocky start. They could not make their completion date and gave us only a few weeks to find temporary accommodations for a month. After the delayed move in, many things like landscaping were not completed for months or even a year for things like privacy shades on ground floor bedroom windows. Location was the big draw for us and during the first year or so we excused problems as a learning curve for a new building.… After several management and maintenance changes it appeared that most issues were related to poor quality construction, materials and budgeting, as well as awkward design issues such as guest and resident parking. Repeated problems with amenities as well as necessities like water and electricity occurred, including mold in some apartments. When complaints or requests were made, management would say that "it wasn't in the budget" to do things which had been promised like washing exterior windows. There was an activities director initially, but after a few months she was gone so nearly all activities are resident led. We worked with other residents to form a Tenant's Association which is continuing to try to work with management to address issues, but after 2 1/2 years we felt we had to leave despite our wonderful neighbors. And just in time, as residents learned they will pay all utilities plus a rent increase at lease renewal, this is after rent was increased before we moved in to include utilities. Risor charges premium rent and is not worth it compared to other 55+. Read More

I’m very happy with Risor apartments and give it high ratings. True to its mission it is an active community with plenty of amenities and activities for anyone over 55. The in house management has been very helpful and help in ways to the feel of a close community.
I can’t say the same for the parent company of the apartments. Roers companies. Some of the amenities and safety issues of the building have taken months to address. As residents we felt we need to create a Tenants Association… to make our concerns heard.
Thus the reason for a less than 5 rating Read More

I moved into Risor in April. It's a vibrant, welcoming community and has a variety of excellent amenities. The apartments are beautiful, are well designed, and have plenty of light due to the floor to ceiling windows and excellent lighting. There is a full schedule of both staff and resident planned activities every month. I am thoroughly enjoying living at Risor. Moving to Risor was a very positive decision for me.

We love our new home at The Risor in SLP. The staff is just great, very warm, friendly and accommodating. The housekeeping staff keeps everything in pristine condition. We moved in November of 2023. There was a small issue with guest parking, which has been resolved. We enjoy the excellent common spaces...the sky lounge is perfect for gathering with new friends for Happy Hours; the Club Room is a great place for shooting pool, playing games and just hanging out. The sauna is a big plus! We… look forward to enjoying great times in the spacious courtyard this summer with the pool, hot tub, pickle ball court and grills. It's a wonderful place! We could not be happier. Read More
