Review

A cluster of experiences people shared about these St. Cloud and surrounding-area properties presents a portrait of a community that can be warm and well-kept, but with a string of serious concerns about management, safety, and responsiveness. On the positive side, several residents describe a sense of connection: in at least one building, neighbors know each other well, the complex is small and well maintained, and the sidewalks are kept clear with snow removal that has noticeably improved. They emphasize a quiet environment and a feeling of a tight-knit, clean place to live. It's the kind of atmosphere where people say they enjoy living there and feel comfortable in their immediate surroundings.

Yet those good vibes sit alongside a growing fear about what has changed over time. Some reviewers lament that the focus that once felt resident-centered - whether as a tenant or as staff - has shifted away from people toward other priorities. The sentiment is that clients are no longer treated as the top priority, and employees feel neglected as well. This shift, according to the same voices, has translated into a sense of frustration and disappointment. They describe a once-supportive environment that has become less helpful, harder to engage with, and more detached from the needs of those who actually live or work on the properties.

Safety and trust emerge as another major thread, sometimes in blunt, alarming terms. One reviewer recounts that "one of the buildings shot a gun," and others describe a climate where problems feel systemic rather than isolated. There's a recurring worry about how issues are addressed, whether repairs are timely or substantial enough, and whether there is proper accountability when incidents occur. In some accounts, the company is accused of cutting corners on maintenance or repairs, contributing to a sense that basic needs are not always met. The overall impression is that safety and dependable service are not consistently delivered, which compounds the frustration already felt about management and responsiveness.

There is also a strong current of dissatisfaction with the way property management handles problems and engages with residents. The critique is blunt: "This company is cheap and does not fix problems in the apartments they own." Combined with stories of poor assistance, slow or non-existent responses, and a general perception that issues are not treated with urgency, these comments paint a consistently negative view of the management approach. Several reviewers express that when problems arise - ranging from maintenance gaps to conflicts among residents - the response is lacking, leaving tenants feeling neglected or dismissed.

Interwoven with these grievances are highly personal, and sometimes inflammatory, claims about specific managers and staff. One reviewer warns prospective movers to be wary of a manager named Nate, characterizing him in strongly negative terms and alleging inappropriate conduct with staff. The comments extend beyond professional dissatisfaction to accuse personal misconduct and an unprofessional work environment. While it's clear these are the experiences and opinions of individuals who lived or worked there, they contribute to a broader impression of a workplace culture that many find troubling or untrustworthy. Other accounts repeat similar concerns about management, complaining of rude behavior, a sense of arrogance, and a belief that managers do not put residents' welfare first.

The narrative deepens with accounts that frame daily living as unsafe or unsatisfactory due to management choices. A reviewer claims that no pet would be safe living there when the overall environment is described as worse than jail, with routines like ice melting and slip hazards ignored or inadequately addressed. The implication is that the manager prioritizes other concerns over basic resident welfare, displaying what is described as selfish or negligent behavior, including accusations of substance use at work and a pervasive smell associated with neglect. While these are highly charged claims, they recur across different voices enough to form a pattern of distrust toward leadership and its ability to keep people safe and comfortable.

Several reviews reference the broader experience of life near these properties, not only as tenants but as neighbors to the units themselves. One person notes that the management style in a South Saint Paul location is particularly poor, reinforcing a cross-location perception that the same issues - ineffectual communication, inadequate response, and a lack of accountability - are widespread rather than isolated. The recurring theme across these comments is that the company's practices - whether in dealing with repairs, handling resident concerns, or maintaining common spaces - are repeatedly described as detestable or unacceptable.

Finally, there are personal testimonies that frame the relationship between residents, staff, and the company as a struggle over money and priority. A reviewer recounts an experience of bullying and abuse within a property they lived at, involving another resident and a staff member named Kevin Eveland, and describes how attempts to retrieve personal property were met with silence or ignored calls. According to this account, the organization appears to prioritize financial considerations - such as insurance subsidies or state subsidies - over the real, day-to-day needs and safety of people who rely on housing. The voice emphasizes a sense of being unsupported in a moment of vulnerability, ultimately losing their residence and feeling that the system failed to protect or help them when they needed it most.

Taken together, these reviews sketch a complicated reality: a community that can feel welcoming and well-kept on one hand, but on the other hand buoyed by a pervasive sense of mismanagement, safety concerns, and insufficient responsiveness. For some residents, the connection to neighbors, the quiet atmosphere, and the basic upkeep provide a solid foundation for living; for others, emerging and persistent problems with management, perceived priorities, and incidents of misconduct create a climate of mistrust and dissatisfaction. The thread that runs through all of it is a call for more accountable leadership, genuine attention to resident needs, and clear, timely action when problems arise.
