Great River Residences Townhomes

Nice place to live, but it’s overpriced. You don’t get what you’re paying, like from most other apartments offer. This is place is just here to make money. They don’t take care of their tenants. Won’t respond back to you unless it’s an easy answer.

The apartment is nice but on the pricey side. Thin walls or something but I could hear people talking upstairs and on the patio. The people that mange the apartments doesn't reply to emails and does not communicate with me. I would NOT want to live there again. The interior is pretty nice and that's about it.

I’ve spent the last year at GRR and I moved in right after construction had finished. The residents are nice and even at close-to-full occupancy of the building, it was a nice, clean, quiet place to live. Rent is reasonable and the staff and property management were nice and easy to work with! I had a one bedroom apartment and it was more than enough space. It was also nice to have a washer and drier in the apartment as well.

Overall, I have had a good experience so far. The apartments are located in a great location in the center of Onalaska, close to access to the Great River State Trail and other local businesses nearby. There is a significant amount of traffic that tends to speed excessively along 35 during rush hour. Thankfully, the apartments are a block off of 35, and it's always very quiet on the other side roads around the property.

I am on the side of the building facing the train tracks. From my apartment... , there is a beautiful view of the marsh. The trains haven't bothered me too much at night, although if you're a light sleeper I could see how they might be an issue. Personally, I think the view and location is worth the slight inconvenience of the train noise.

There were a few minor kinks early on, but that is understandable between the pandemic and opening a brand new building. The property manager is always helpful, accommodating, and friendly, and goes above and beyond to help.

The apartments are definitely on the expensive side, but that is unfortunately to be expected with a new building and most apartments in general. There are some areas where I can tell inexpensive furnishings were chosen to save money, such as the window shades and shower fixtures, but it still has all of the basics you would expect. I am also disappointed that the underground garage doesn't have access to any outlets. Not very forward thinking as hybrid and electric vehicles begin to become more common, much less to do something simple like use a vacuum.

One other downside is that there also is little to no ventilation in the hallways and stairs above the first floor. While this isn't a big deal when it's colder, I've noticed the air can get really stuffy on a somewhat mild but humid spring day. I'll have to see what it's like during the heat of the summer.

Other than a few minor gripes, it's a good place to live. I'm enjoying my time here so far and look forward to continue living here in the near future! Read More

Living at the GRR has been wonderful. The apartments are spacious and beautiful. I feel very safe with the secured entrances. The management is very responsive to any questions I have or repairs needed. The heated garage in the winter is a real bonus.
I love the quick access to the interstate as well as the short drive to downtown La Crosse to get to all shopping, restaurants, and events in the area. There are even a few great restaurants right in the neighborhood.
GRR is right on the... backwaters of the Black River for great views and river access from the Great River Landing for quiet river sports. It is also handy to be right at the Great River Trail for easy access to running, hiking, and biking along Lake Onalaska. Read More
