New Brighton View

I've lived here for close to 2 years now. The staff is friendly and very helpful. They take pride in the building and keeping it clean. The building is on the older side and not super pretty on the outside but it is very well maintained. Maintenance is generally pretty quick to get work orders done. The two bedroom apartments are very spacious and definitely one of the best finds out there for price per square foot. I also love that its minutes away from the freeway (ignoring MN construction… season right now) and easy access to Minneapolis, Roseville and St Paul. Read More

I have lived in this complex for over five years. It has really improved within the last two years with the new management. They have done a lot to fix up the buildings and the grounds. They are committed to making the complex a great place to live.
The apartments are good sized and have lots of closet space. The apartments are about 15 minutes away from both downtown Minneapolis and St Paul.
There's lots to do around the neighborhood. The schools are top notch and committed to creating… life long learners Read More

I have lived in this complex for over 30 years. This bldg. is the last one I moved into abt 5 yrs ago. The people who now manage the bldg. are fantastic. They have done a lot to improve the conditions that the bldg. needed fixing. They have put new washers & dryers in both laundry rooms. They put in new carpeting, they also put new pipes in the pol room. they have done a lot to make our bldg. look good. My apt is 1100 sq ft. These were the largest apts in New Brighton when they were… built. When you have a staff that cares how their bldg. looks & treats the people who live with respect, you enjoy living here. We are about five minutes from a major shopping center, banks, convenient store right across the parking lot & across the street. There are a McDonald across the road from the complex & 2 restraunts within walking distance.The bldg. I live in is a family building but there are singles who live here too. Read More

Although they have attempted to fix some of the problems, we have experienced severe floods from rain and from backed up sewer pipes; many maintenance issues go unaddressed, or unresolved; new management took over a year or so ago and they have made some improvements, mostly to the exterior so people coming to look will think it's nicer than it is. We have had significant rent increases every year (this year $100!) to pay for these exterior improvements. Additionally, the woman in charge of the… office is a control freak with a mean streak. She treats everyone very poorly, the mailman will not even leave packages at the office because she was so rude to him, so now we all have to go to the post office for our packages, unless we are home when they come. I cannot see out my patio door the double glass is so filthy in the middle. You cannot clean it. There are many more complaints I could lodge. On the positive side, the apartments are much bigger than your newer apartments. There are some nice people living here, but there are many children that are out on the playground unsupervised, and I can tell you I would not let my child out there. Some of those kids are out of control. If your apartment faces the playground, with basketball hoop, you are going to deal with some serious noise. Sorry but this is the truth. I only wish I had known. Read More
