Jan 2019: The Hub Minneapolis on Campus is the perfect place for students attending the University of Minnesota. The staff here are so nice and accommodating to all the residents it makes living here so easy. The amenities, whether you live on the first floors or the pent house levels, are so amazing. They give away free food and have fun events all the time. Not to mention the location, it's right next to the light rail and even closer to campus than the residential halls. I would definitely recommend living here! Review from Google
Dec 2018: The Hub is staffed by incompetent student workers led by a manager who thinks she can ignore her tenants because they’re mostly students.
Within the first six months:
- the elevators broke half a dozen times
- the hot water randomly went out 3 times
- the floor of my bedroom began leaking pink air conditioning fluid
- and a handful of minor issues I’ve already forgotten because I can’t keep track of all the ways this place is falling apart.
The maintenance request service also hasn’t worked in five months. This building was rushed in construction to get it “ready†for this year. They charge lofty rent to students who don’t know any better. I wouldn’t be surprised if the whole thing falls over before 2020.
Don’t. Live. Here. Review from Google
Nov 2018: A wonderful living experience! Everybody on the dance floor! Soooo much fun here! Review from Google
Nov 2018: UPDATE: My review used to be two stars but I moved it up because I was focusing too much on the negatives. The hub is a great place to live, and I'm glad I renewed my lease. I think all of the one star reviewers have had one crappy experience and based their review solely on that experience.
What makes the hub great is that its really unique compared to other nearby apartments. It's awesome views, sweet amenities, friendly and professional staff, and nice interior make it a great place to live.
Good stuff:
-very secure building
-fantastic views
-fair pricing (it's expensive, but worth it)
-heated parking garage
-nice kitchen appliances
-hot water comes out if the faucet without delay
-friendly staff
-an awesome hot tub on the top floor, from which you can see the Minneapolis skyline
-a second hot tub on the seventh floor
-cable TV
-small Review from Google
Nov 2018: THE MANAGEMENT IS A MESS. There are just a few managers working and they do not have any communication each other, AT ALL. If you bring up some issue to the office, roommate issue in my case, all you can hear is "I am busy" and they talk to you harsh. Excuse me? Whether you are busy or not is NONE of my business, and dealing with residents' issue is your job and your responsibility. I am very frustrated by how unorganized the management is and irresponsible managers are. I have experienced this several times already. I don't know why managers are always mad.
If you are a resident or a future resident, I highly recommend not to deal with managers; if you talk to them, you just start hearing complains and would make you irritated. If you really need to communicate them? Just send them emails. don't forget to forward it to all the managers, othe Review from Google
Nov 2018: It has been a truly unpleasant experience staying here. Full of privileged students who just want to party. The walls are paper thin, the corridors smell like weed, we’ve seen vomit in the elevators on several occasions, and management sucks. My boyfriend’s bike got stolen from the garage (where he pays $200 to park his car each month) from right in front of a security camera, and it seems that staff members have done nothing to recover it. Also, neighbors have two (or three?) annoying dogs that are startled by everything. They literally bark whenever we close the front door and sporadically throughout the night. I feel bad for the dogs. Not a great environment for easily startled animals. My boyfriend would be gone already, but he can’t get out of the lease unless he finds someone to replace him. However, I refuse to talk this place up Review from Google
Sep 2018: Great location, great people, and if you consider the price and all of its amenities, you get a lot more than what other apartments are offering in Minneapolis - including downtown locations. These things include a full gym, yoga room, sauna, study lounges, free printing, trash chutes (possibly on every floor it seems?), top notch views, fully furnished apartments with own washer/dryer units and more!
The first few weeks of opening, I noticed issues but it seems like they have been resolved and I hope they start getting their management together. Issues include non working elevators, overfilled trash/recycling chutes, water issues. Again, it’s all new so it was kind of expected to see some issues occurring. They have been very communicative and even offered reimbursement for first months water bill.

One thing I terribly hate about th Review from GoogleSep 2018: Why does the hot tub close at 10pm? I just want to relax after a long day at work, but I can't because the hot tub isn't open 24/7! I would rate five stars if I could use the hot tub between 10 pm and 1 am, because the hub has been phenomenal otherwise, but seriously I pay $50 extra to have access to the sky lounge and I can't even use it... 😢
Anyways...
Good stuff:
-great security
-relatively fast elevators
-great views
-fair pricing
-parking ramp
-nice appliances
-friendly staff
Bad stuff:
-the hot tub isn't open 24/7
-neighbors frequently smoke weed and cause the hallway to smell

Sep 2018: Horrible management. Poor services. Cheap construction. Review from GoogleSep 2018: Live here if you want to pay premium and live as if you are in a third world country Review from GoogleSep 2018: I know that Hub just open, but it's very disappointed how they don't fulfill their duties right. My friend was coming back to the US and will be at Hub at midnight and he already notice them about it weeks before. Hub give him a number to call when he arrive, and told him there will be someone to help him move in. He called multiple time but no one answer him seems like helpless. He emailed them and no one reply back as well. When he arrived he talked to the security, he is no help (he say he did not work for Hub, but for another company). He expect better service from Hub. I hope that this will made Hub aware and be more helpful and do their job better next time. Very disappointed and angry at the same time. Review from GoogleAug 2018: Went to move in but forms appearantly did not go through because The Hub decided to change parking rates. Usually an apartment would offer to pay the difference for convience especially for rent that is above 1700 a month and they legally made an offer at the lower rate which I legally signed at. They wouldn’t even tell me which specific unit I was being assigned upon paying. For over 1700 a month? Any tenant paying over 1700 a month for an apartment does not deserve to be treated as second class upon moving in with unexplained fees and denied paperwork. Review from GoogleAug 2018: Great restaurant: delicious food, friendly service, and reasonable prices for the high quality of the menu seved. I highly recommend it. Had the lamb burger for lunch and I loved it. Brought the family for dinner, and we had a great time. Review from GoogleAug 2018: Food and service unsurpassed in Dinkytown. Mediterranean fare. Owner is the most charming and delightful person I have met in a long time. Review from GoogleJul 2018: Just got an apartment at the Hub and looking forward to moving in in August. Great location to live in the twin cities area! Review from GoogleJul 2018: The restaurant is dirty. There is dust everywhere: the fans, the ceiling, the wine glass, and even the cutlery.
Food is average and definitely not worth the price, especially with all the dust and cobwebs Review from GoogleJun 2018: My favorite restuarant in Dinkytown. The harvest salad is amazing (coming from someone who typically skips the salad). Review from Google
