Oct 2019: I lived in the historic section of Floco last year. I thought it would be a good place for a non-traditional student to live and after already experiencing some of the dingier (but more affordable) apartments in the area I was ready for an upgrade. It wasn’t long after I moved in when I realized I had made a huge mistake. After a month of living there, I got an email at 8pm on Sunday night saying that on the next day people would be viewing my apartment from noon to 8pm. 8pm? Seriously? I know it was normal for landlords to show your apartment to prospective tenants and it’s stated in the lease that they can enter for any reasonable business purpose but by which stretch of the imagination is it reasonable to view my apartment with such little notice, that late into the evening, that long before the end of my lease? I complained and they gave me some nonsense about the market blah blah Review from Google
Oct 2019: My roommates and I still haven't gotten our deposits back and it has been nearly 2 months since we have moved out... really annoyed and we were nickel and dimed for everything when we lived there Review from Google
Aug 2019: I have been working with Kelsey who has been extremely helpful and patient. I am hoping that the rest of the staff is just a wonderful. So far everything has been great. Review from Google
Aug 2019: lived Here for 2 years! Management was super helpful and easy to work with! Location was amazing close to campus! Fast walk to classes! Place itself is very clean and has great amenities! Review from GoogleJul 2019: The management here is absolutely horrible and they try to scam you with everything. My very clean and respectful roommates and I got less than half of our deposit back for "damage" that was there long before we moved in. Another one of my roommates had her wallet stolen from her in the workout room even though they claim to be a secure building and have a security guard. The walls are also paper thin. Make sure you read the lease and the reviews on here before you sign a lease with floco to make sure you know what you're getting yourself into. Review from Google

May 2019: DO NOT LIVE HERE!
The office people are going to do anything they can to nickel and dime you.
I paid my rent one day late (due to their very confusing payment process that throws all the tenants rent together) and I was charged an $80 dollar late fee. They almost always take weeks to hear back from, but of course when it came to their money they were extremely responsive.
They also take your first month's and last month's rent up front, along with a security deposit. Then your lease ends on the 20th of the last month and they don't refund you any of that full amount you initially paid.
They will do anything to get you to shut up. They take advantage of college kids who haven't rented before and don't know any better.
Also their rating is only 2.7 because they bribe tenants with pizza to give them good ratings. Without those they would have a 1 star rating.
Basically they are all sleaze bags. Review from Google

May 2019: I've lived at Floco for two years now and have planned to lease for another year because I've been happy with my experience as an undergrad living at this complex. There have been minor maintenance issues revolving around our dishwasher breaking, our mini fridge breaking, and some other smaller problems regarding my appt, but have had no issues with maintenance as they fixed the problems within a day or so (however urgent the issue was) and were very understanding when told what issues were occurring. For having your own room on campus, Floco definitely has the better priced options and have been quite happy with my experience (I will say living off of University Ave is quite loud, but this will happen in any building you stay in). Always feel safe with the many cameras and security guard who is very friendly and makes an effort to be known to residents.

Mar 2019: My car was parked in the courtyard to unload my bags and when I came back it was towed to a place 20 minutes away and cost me $300 and 3 hours of my time to get it back from a privately owned tow company. I am ashamed to pay this much money to live in an apartment that treats its residents with such little respect. It is difficult to rate this apartment well when they clearly care more about profiting off of young college students than they do about caring for their residents. Review from GoogleMar 2019: There are so many great things about Floco which is why I have decided to live here for 3 years in a row! If I had to pick my favorite thing about living here, it would be the outdoor patio area. Having access to a grill and chairs to layout in makes spring, summer, and fall way more fun! The appliances in my unit are modern and we rarely have issues with them. When there are problems, maintenance is quick to resolve everything! The staff at Floco always makes me feel like I am a priority and are always looking to make things better for residents. With location and amenities, I think Floco is the best place to live for students at the U. Plus, the rent price is super reasonable! I always tell people that Floco is the "best bang for your buck" :)Mar 2019: FloCo has helpful office staff, reasonably priced single bedrooms, and great amenities, such as: tanning, a work out room, and package pick up lockers. Maintenance is quick and responsive and there are a lot of great resident events that offer free food. I would recommend living here if you are a student at the U.Dec 2018: Absolutely the worst place ever. A complete rip off at every turn, all management does is overcharge for rent and not take care of the place at all. 350 fucking dollars for replacement keys is absolutely crazy. 0/5, worst place ever would not recommend.
Nov 2018: I was a tenant last year and accidentally sent a package here. Last night I attempted to contact them. I got ahold of someone who promised he would look for it. Then told me they didn't have it because they had a new, more secure, system. I called UPS, they told me exactly where it was delivered. I called Floco back and told them exactly where UPS dropped the package. The person on the phone told me he would call me back either way (if he found it or not). I waited and did not receive a call back. I dreaded having to call them in the first place and when I did had such a negative experience just like the multiple ones I had as a tenant. Luckily, there are a few good individuals working that always pull through but there are FEW. Do not live here. Save your money and time. Review from Google
Nov 2018: The management can be nice and friendly when you talk to them in person, but don't be fooled this is just another scum bag property management company that only cares about making money off of naive college students. During my lease term last summer somebody had reported a gas leak/weird smell in the garage in advance and weeks later they still had done nothing and the fire department showed up and evacuated the building at 9 pm on a week night! In addition, they sold us on our unit with cool amenities and stadium seating for couches. When we moved in there was already a pull out sofa in the unit and lights wrapped around the water pipes, (we assumed this was complimentary of the unit). When we moved out we get charged over $100 for leaving both in there, in addition they offered carpet cleaning because past tenants made a mess of the carpet b Review from GoogleJul 2018: I lived in floco for just about year and honestly there's a lot more complaints than not. Within the first month or so things just started breaking down, closet doors, little floor railings, door locks, bug screens, window blinds. From what me and my roommates have experienced, a lot of the things in our unit were cheap material and we were charged for things that broke just by us living in there. Management for some reason still has not responded to emails sent out months ago. Also they throw fees in your face with ridiculous prices for all sorts of reasons. And when something bad happens the best thing the can offer you is "sorry if this has caused an inconvenience to you". Review from GoogleJul 2018: Had a moped parked in their parking garage. Ended up getting broken into and vandalized. Do not feel safe at these apartments, ever.
EDIT: For full disclosure, after this and other reviews of their properties I was contacted by DM Companies to make sure everything is alright. I will leave my review above as it is still what has happened in the past, however, they did make an attempt to make sure everything was going alright at this point in time. Review from GoogleJun 2018: I honestly have a very hard time even placing one star on this building. I have had multiple leases with them throughout my college years because I thought the pricing was affordable. They do not monitor who pays what, leases are a mess because they do not have individual leasing. They can hardly keep track of their own payments within their system. The staff has in the past purposefully ignored calls from tenants because they do not want to deal with questions about where the issues with payments are coming from. They scam college students and are a really poorly run apartment building. The cheap price-tag and 'flexible' pricing is a gimmick for all the fees and issues to come when choosing to live here. I do not recommend is an understatement. Review from GoogleMay 2018: Our dishwasher was broken for the first month and our apartment wasn’t cleaned before we moved in. But there is free printing, tanning and food so ya know.
Edit: lost my keys and for a simple key and fob its ~350 (175 for each) to replace your keys. Which is absolutely appalling, that's more than half my rent. Every other apartment is around $75-$100 for key replacements.
They take advantage of students in every way they can and are extremely rude. (granted this is the management that own floco)
Maybe their are attempting (after realizing they are the complete worst management in Dinkytown) to improvement, but personally I wouldn't wait and see. Yes, you get nice sized rooms and closets, but I personally would rather pay $500-$100 more to not deal with them. They also scraped off the ice (or something, it was vibrating my room) on the side Review from GoogleApr 2018: Do not live here. Management has done nothing about the mice that live behind my fridge. They have been here so long I've named them and that is not even the worst part about this place. Review from Google
Mar 2018: I can't respond to a response but I left a review earlier with my dissatisfaction with floco and they replied to me with
"Hi Isabel, we’ve made several attempts to reach out to you directly – since you moved in – to discuss any issues that you’ve experienced, and you have still not responded to us."
This is completely false my roommates and I have contacted them many times and not received responses or answers a majority of the time, they have never once reached out to us first about any issues.
Please do not believe this passive aggressive and false response to my earlier review.
**UPDATE: I added a star because finally someone reached out to me and I am grateful for that** Review from GoogleFeb 2018: Floco only offeres shared leases which is an easy way for roommates/ floco to screw you over. Really bad managment and bad ground keeping Review from GoogleJan 2018: I am so excited to live here next year! It has such a warm and welcoming environment! Review from GoogleJan 2018: Super duper excited to be living here next year my friends and I just signed our lease and we can't wait!! Review from Google
