Vue Apartment Homes

Like many other long-term residents, I recently moved out of the Vue because of ongoing maintenance, management, and security issues.

The Vue is 10 years old and it shows. Unit interiors are dark and dated. Appliances in most units are a decade old. The common areas aren't any better. The gym is barebones - think 1 elliptical, 1 bike, 2 treadmills, and some weights. The rooftop is small with grills that need to be replaced and a broken fire pit. The parking lot is filthy and next to dumpsters... that overflow. The carpet throughout the building is stained and the trash chutes in the hallways make every floor smell, especially by the elevator banks.

The neighborhood has gone downhill - period. Despite this, management has not meaningfully invested in security. Packages are stolen because there is no package room and management allows deliveries to accumulate in the lobby. Bikes are stolen from the garage and cars are broken into. "Piggy-backing" occurs at the front entrance.

Simple maintenance requests take 1-2+ weeks to fulfill. Getting action from the after-hours maintenance emergency staff usually required multiple follow up calls over hours to the call center. Last winter, a significant portion of the building experienced issues with hot water; this summer residents are going without AC. Residents are denied compensation in the form of rent or parking credits for these ongoing disruptions. Building management is inexperienced and understaffed, with only one Community Director serving 100+ units. Calls to the front desk go to voicemail, sometimes immediately.

Despite these deficiencies in value, safety, and community, the Vue bills itself as luxury living and consistently hikes rent by hundreds of dollars per month when residents renew leases. For what the Vue charges, your money can go much further in a newer, nicer building that prioritizes residents' comfort and takes safety seriously. Read More

DO NOT LIVE HERE!
3 months ago I met with the director of housing to let them know I would not be renewing my lease. They assured me that they had made note and that we were good to go on our end. Now they are pretending like our conversation never happened, in attempt to charge us more money. Management will lie to you and manipulate you.

The management team is very unprofessional and have been known to misguide tenants.

I moved to Minneapolis four years ago and lived in several places. I have to say that view was by far the best. They have so many awards for customer service on the reception desk and I must say they are well deserved.

From my first tour from Rick, the wonderful maintenance man, Norm, that always took time to have a chat, to the awesome community events thrown by Josh and Sam, I have been unceasingly impressed by passion this team has for giving there residence a place to call home. Everyone... is willing to drop everything to help the residents.

This property is beautiful and in a beautiful nook of Minneapolis. Great park for my dog, beautiful sunsets from the roof and a awesome place to host parties and events. This is the best place to live in MN. Read More

I have lived at the Vue for over a year now, and I'm so glad I made the decision to move here. The location has great access to both downtown and the freeway, the shared spaces are clean and well-maintained, the staff is friendly and hard-working, and my experiences with the maintenance team have been stress-free! Management is super good at communicating with all the tenants in the building, and I always feel very safe and content when I am home. Honestly, I couldn't ask for more!
