Corsa

I have been here for almost a year now. I give Corsa a 2.5/5.

I'll start with the pros of this building:
- Location. It is amazing being so close to the walking path and Excelsior Blvd. Very convenient.
- Low noise, to a degree. The exterior door is not great at keeping noise out. I know you can't expect a noise-free environment in an apartment, but I also believe you shouldn't hear the jingle of someone's keys as they walk by your door (which I do). I do not regularly hear noise from the... surrounding apartments. The pickleball court is a unique feature, but caution: even the fourth-floor apartments facing the courtyard get the pickleball noise quite clearly.
- Gym. It's updated with a lot of different machines. Yoga rooms are a plus too.
- Unique community nights.
- Overall stylish apartment.

Cons:
- The parking garage. It's small and cramped. Also.. open air at a steep $150 a month. This winter wasn't even abnormally cold for a Minnesota winter, yet a pipe burst in the garage, and the garage door seemingly can't work if it's below 15 degrees (I mean.. c'mon, it's MN). The garage was left open for about a week in February alone due to cold temperatures. As of most recent, residents became aware of vehicle break-ins and bike theft in the garage, not from management, but because of the resident community bulletin board. Instead, management sent out a notice about driving speed in the garage with no mention of the break-ins.
- Water quality. I know this is no fault of the apartment building itself, but there is extremely hard water here. A shower head filter is not effective enough, so if you're a bottle blonde like me, just be prepared.
- Lack of appropriate information being shared from management. Since I have been here, there has been a new management staff since the other management staff received many poor reviews (see below). The new management continues to leave more to be desired. Management has not been communicative about building-wide fire alarms. Each time it has happened since living here (at least 3x), I have received no updates. My partner emailed Corsa management asking why it went off, and the response was uninformative. Also, as mentioned above, even when it comes to vehicle break-ins and bike theft, Corsa management still does not provide residents with information about what is being done and what happened.

Just want to warn people, the studio and one bedroom units here have electric heating, so my energy bill was $215 in December, $250 in January, and now $225 in February. That is with me being as energy conscious as possible and keeping the temperature in my 700 square foot apartment at 65 degrees. So budget accordingly for the winter months. I felt misled by this as my lease specifically stated each unit had a gas meter.

Other cons: the garage door malfunctions quite often, my boyfriend and my... mountain bikes were stolen due to someone being able to walk with a saw and cut our locks off. The hot tub closes when the pool closes in late August - we were told during our tour it would be open year round.

Pros: the best apartment gym I’ve ever had (brand new treadmills, two squat racks, etc.) great location, love the private pickleball court

Furthermore, I should add that the influx of positive reviews over the last month is because Corsa offered the chance to win $1500 in rent credit if we leave a review in February :’) so take these recent reviews with a grain of salt. Read More

I’ve been living in this apartment for 8 months and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. The unit itself is spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with modern appliances and plenty of natural light. The floor plan is very functional, and I love the ample storage space.

The management team has been incredibly responsive and professional. They’re always quick to address any concerns or maintenance requests, and the building is consistently clean and quiet.
One of the biggest highlights for me is... the location – it’s so convenient! Located near the lakes, Excelsior&Grand, and the West End.
I also feel very safe here. The building has great security, and I’ve never had any issues with noise or disturbances.

Overall, I highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a comfortable, convenient, and hassle-free place to live. It’s been a great experience for me! Read More

My dog and I moved in September, and it’s perfect! The dog run is nice for quick potty breaks and being right across the street from a trail has been fantastic. All of the other amenities are great too. Looking forward to using the pool in the summer!

I’ve lived here a year now and I absolutely love Corsa! They are very communicative, the amenities are amazing and the apartments themselves are awesome. It’s also such a great location!
