Stage Apartments, LLC

Poor management.
Ridiculous fees.
Homeless & drug dealer problem outside.
Slow elevator & coin operated washer/dryer units that run poorly.
The list goes on.

As far as convenience goes, this place is walking distance of many places but living here will make you feel unsafe. Security measures are woefully lacking. Nonresidents get in all the time (it’s really easy to get into) and then they get in to the whole building. They will smoke, drink, pee, leave garbage everywhere and STEAL so many packages. The rent is high considering the only amenity is free Wi-Fi that they tell you isn’t even that great. Management is nice and tries to be helpful but they... can only do some much about the non residents coming in. The owners need to add fobs to all entrances and doors. I carry mace and a knife with me just to check mail or do laundry. Laundry is coin operated and the machines aren’t that great. They also don’t have any drawers in bathroom or kitchen. Lee mas

Stage is the perfect building for those wanting to live downtown without breaking the bank. Though one of the most affordable (non-rent controlled) options in the downtown MPLS area, the units are well-maintained and relatively trendy, with NYC loft-style high ceilings and stainless steel appliances. and are also pet friendly (cats and dogs under 25 lbs). Vehicle owners may be inconvenienced by the lack of affordable parking options, but bike lanes and transit links abound nearby (only 3 blocks... to the light rail!). Stage may lack "luxury apartment" amenities (pools, fitness rooms, communal areas, etc.), but does well at providing the basics, and speedy maintenance. The area immediately surrounding the building can at times feel a bit sketchy, but never have I felt unsafe. Overall recommended. Lee mas
