Be @ Axon Green Apartamentos

Be @ axon is one of the worst apartments I have ever lived at. The actual apartment itself is great but the unit to unit noise is unbelievable. You hear neighbors from each side (music, conversations) and EVERY. SINGLE. STEP. the upstairs neighbor takes. I can even hear them sometimes opening/closing cupboards. For the rent we're paying I can't believe the insulation can be this bad. Staff is beyond unhelpful. An actual quote from an email I received from them: "sounds like regular apartment... living!" And it might be. But even apartments I've been in that were less than half this price had better insulation. If sound is an issue for you PLEASE look elsewhere.

Terrible place to rent. The Greenway is gone with the light rail construction and they won’t reduce rent because of it. The grills haven’t been working for years. The garage keeps getting broken into. The building has been literally shaking from the construction. They promised community events every month when we moved in several years ago and that hasn’t happened.

I live in the divine alcove floor plan which is perfect size for 1 person. Location is 2 blocks from lake calhoun and is on the greenway bike path. I love that the apartment feels a bit secluded and overlook the trees and pool yet is minutes from Uptown. Staff are always friendly and residents are great. Only negative I have to say is the 10 pm close time for the pool and grilling area. Other than that I have had a great experience at Be and would recommend the apartment.

In the 'be' building I walk down the hallways and it reads 'be' Dynamic, 'be' Amazing! When I enter the elevator it says 'be' Uplifted or in the party room 'be' social, in the fitness room 'be' fit! Our concierge can make any day sunny! My beautiful studio apartment is walking distance to gorgeous lakes, a Whole Foods and restaurants. My apartment has high ceilings, stainless steel appliances,and a stacked washer and dryer, like other many other places but I know you cannot find a more... fun-loving community housed in an uplifting complex which makes this apartment my home.

When I first moved to Minneapolis I lived Downtown near the convention centre. I had no idea where to go before moving up here from the south and found the first available reasonably (by my post college student standards) priced apartment. I was miserable. For the longest time when I rode my bike along Cedar Lake trail and the Midtown Greenway I would see this apartment building and think it was way to upscale and out of my price range.
Fast-forward to a year later when I wanted to move... into the Uptown area to be near more people near my age and this was one of the apartments I happened upon while searching, never making the connection of it being the building I passed on the trail behind the building. My roommate and I had multiple tours set-up for the day, but this was our first viewing, and we instantly loved it. The building itself is very new and feels alive. Do you want amenities? Because this place has them like crazy. While having access to all the areas like the gym and pool for this building (as well as free 'rentable' party rooms), you also gain access to the amenities over at the Calhoun Greenway building, including an indoor pool and sauna as well as multiple other rentable party rooms.
The apartments themselves are very upscale. With granite counter tops as well as kitchen islands and tons of cabinet space, you can make full use of the kitchen. The bathrooms are nicer than any hotel I've been in with a very large soaking tub. The closets are nearly as large as the dorms I had back in school.
While not being in full-blown Uptown, I have actually found this to be much better than I thought. Not only is rent significantly cheaper and more affordable, we have a much more peaceful area without being in the more suburban St. Louis Park. Instead of having to deal with the terrible traffic near Lake street, we have easy access to our building with minimal traffic. Whenever we want to go out, we can either hop on the greenway and ride into Uptown or walk if we're inclined. With Lake Calhoun right there within sight, I have never had problems getting out and having a good time. This is seriously the best area I've ever lived in, and I look forward to my continued residence. Lee mas
