Sep 2019: My family and I will miss we lived here with great memories.
We really appreciate their kindness of staffs (Ryan, Emilee,..) Review from Google
Jul 2019: I wouldn't recommend anyone staying here. The management is really slow in processing my additional roommate application even though the fee has been paid a month ago. This had seriously caused my wife and I so much trouble as we need to change our plans to suit the apartment's extremely slow response. Other than the awful management, the apartment's design is extremely good! Review from Google
Jul 2019: They way overcharge for pets. Have 2 cats and its $60 a month extra. That's $1500 over the two years I've been here. I don't even have carpet so the cats cant do any damage to the room. They just try to squeeze as much money out of the tenants as possible.
Also this is changing to a one star review for how terrible the service is here, you can't even find anyone in the office 90% of the time and they just shrug off your concerns or never do anything about them Review from GoogleJul 2019: They way overcharge for pets.

May 2019: I was admitted to a few grad schools and I decided on the U of M. I toured the facility and it looks great. I fell in love with the large windows and open kitchen. The staff was really nice and helpful. This is it. Review from Google
Mar 2019: Apartment is low quality for price paid. There was ton of moisture in our apartment. The windows would sweat all day long. Managements solution for that was for us to continuously wipe down the windows, which didn't work. That lead to mold all around the windows, which is gross. There were multiple times when management entered our apartment without giving proper notice, or any notice at all. Twice maintenance came to our apartment to do repairs, when neither my wife or I requested work to be done. I called and asked them to explain why they were in our apartment and management couldn't give us an answer. We had an issue with out fire alarm where it would not stop beeping. Later in the evening we called the emergency line and told them about the issue. No one should up and the firm alarm beeped all night. Someone came later the next day and replaced the firm alarms. About 2 days later, the fire alarms started going off again and we called the emergency line Review from Google
Mar 2019: Apartment was great with decent amenities. Management changed twice while I lived here and was terrible for any problems or maintenance. Move in day was a disaster showing up to a filthy apartment. Their system was literally a white board that they had written the wrong week to clean the place. Clearly hadn't even checked the apartment after the previous residents moved out. Prices were extremely high. Location was great. Review from GoogleFeb 2019: I've lived here for ~1.5 years now, and it's been generally really good. There have been some hiccups, but management has been responsive and taken responsibility to resolve any problems. One only complaint I have is parking - but this is an apartment on a college campus, not necessarily meant to have two working adults who commute. Gorgeous apartments, nice amenities, easy access to campus and restaurants, and an adult-apartment feel make this a great place to live!

Feb 2019: I've lived here for ~1.5 years now, and it's been generally okay. This past month, however, has been an absolute ADVENTURE. There's a recurring problem of weed stench permeating the building - despite the "no smoking" label they try to keep. Additionally, there's one elevator and people puke and just leave it. Keep in mind the pricing of these apartments, and lease at your own risk. Community managers also rotate every 3-4 months, so good luck having someone decently regular to go to for help. I've been through 3 iterations of resident logins as well, making it extremely unwieldy to try and renew my lease or even check any messages. I'm willing to update this review if things start to get better, but for now I stick by the one star designation. Review from GoogleJan 2019: My girlfriend and I love living here! I have lived in several apartments during my time as a UMN student and this one takes the cake when it comes to management, security, and cleanliness. Review from GoogleJan 2019: We have lived here going on 2 years now and since new ownership has taken over, there have been many great updates and improvements. The lobby received a whole new look and now has printer access and an updated coffee bar. We are on a college campus, that is necessary. The outdoor patios also received more usable makeovers, with a privacy wall for the one that shares the fireplace with the lobby, and a whole new outdoor cooking space with an outdoor heater on the second floor. This is Minnesota, and without heat it would not be usable most of the year. In unit we’ve had new thermostats put in which you can control with your phone no matter where you are. There are also new lockers for amazon packages which is convenient when you work and aren’t home to get them. The downside is there is not a lot of outdoor space nearby. We have also had a Review from GoogleJan 2019: Amazing property close to campus and many restaurants/grocery stores. Everything we need is a short walk away. Very clean common areas and good size gym for the amount of people living here. Indoor parking makes everything easier. Planning on staying here for the whole duration of our studies. Review from GoogleJan 2019: As a current resident, the apartment is kept clean, quiet, and conveniently located off 94 and near the U. The TV system in our apartment often does not work, updates are not consistent across each apartment, and management turns over a lot. Brendan Taylor was a pleasure to have around and very attentive to our needs, but now he is no longer working here. Review from GoogleJan 2019: As a former leasing agent, I recommend steering clear of this community. The residents are great, the office staff is friendly though scarce. The management company/ownership Trinity Property Consultants is AWFUL.
They recently changed the format of the building to renting by the room. In doing so they offered the leasing staff ZERO training. I only found out we were making the transition because I was CC’d on an email about it. Their transition period took 2 weeks longer than we were told.
Make sure you get everything you are told IN WRITING. The Regional Manager, Toni is known for her use of people. She uses you for what she needs and then gets rid of you. She verbally offered me a bonus to stay after my manager left abruptly, but never gave me the requirements to meet to receive the bonus. Instead of apologizing for a miscommunication Review from Google
Dec 2018: Brendan Taylor has been an absolute joy to work with. My boyfriend and I had issues with our application and I reached out to Brendan numerous times via email slightly panicked about the whole process. Brendan was always quick to respond and would often get back to me within an hour or two. His reassurance, willingness to answer questions, and positive demeanor are unlike any other management team I have encountered. Brendan always kept me “in the know†when it came to the status of the application and has gone out of his way to make sure I had a positive experience. My boyfriend and I are excited to move in to our new home! Review from GoogleJul 2018: My boyfriend and I have lived in Solhaus Tower for two years this coming August. Overall, it has been a fair experience in which our expectations were met as far as housing in such a price point and location would be, but there have been a few downsides I'd like to disclose to any potential renters.
Pros:
- Management is and has always been friendly through and surprisingly consistent. The same guy has been here through three different management companies, ever friendly and accommodating, if not here often.
- What little I ever see of our poor overworked maintenance man is friendly and open.
- It's very quiet aside from the traffic, screaming children in the childcare next door, and construction.
- Our South facing windows grant large, beautiful views, and our plants thrive in the constant indirect light.
- I've felt fairly safe here, no drug Review from GoogleJul 2018: The apartment was nice and well built, but overall you could find such a better value for the same/less money. The staff working there are nice, but their new management company has them so swamped and understaffed that communication was consistently awful. As in nonexistent - which gets frustrating, especially when it results in hidden fees. I had to contest many extra charges due purely to a lack of communication throughout my year there.
Steve, the maintenance man, in particular was great and always a friendly face to see. He is the reason I'm giving 2 instead of 1 star.
IF you do still opt to live there, I do not recommend outdoor parking. People parked in my spot anyways all the time, and Solhaus is powerless (or just doesn't want to bother) to get your spot cleared any sooner than about 12 hours. Review from GoogleJun 2018: I am living here for over three years now. Utility bill suddenly went up in Jan 2018 right in the middle of my current lease, when a new group took over this building. Last month I paid $72.74 in utilities (trash, water and sewer), which is in addition to my rent, indoor parking spot, and electricity bill (including stove and heating). This is crazy expensive!!!
This sudden unexpected increase in utility bill is very annoying and makes no sense at all beause it includes similar services which were provided prior to Jan 2018.
So far I had good interaction with on-site managers and maintenance service is always done in time. I will post another review at the end of my current lease if there is any improvement in utility bills. Review from GoogleSep 2017: Expensive for the size of the unit, but a nice area if you are a student or work at the university. Workout area is has good cardio but poor lifting equipment. They respond to repair requests quickly. Friendly staff
Review from 9/11/17 on GoogleJul 2017: I lived at Solhaus over the duration of the last school year, and overall, it's what city living should aspire to be. The location is great, close to campus, restaurants, and the grocery stores of Stadium Village, while also being just far enough away to not be in the center of the busy surroundings. The apartment itself I stayed in (Superior, 5th Floor) was modern and spacious, with a great view of the city from the floor to ceiling windows. One of the best parts about living in Solhaus though, was the incredibly friendly and helpful staff.
Review from 7/16/17 on GoogleMar 2017: My wife and I lived in a 2b2b apartment at Solhaus for 12 months. The room is quiet and sunny, all electronics work well, maintenance are fast and efficient, no unexpected charges happened. In all, we are very satisfied with our experience at Solhaus and we do appreciate all their efforts. We miss the Minnesota nice. Wonderful place to live. Review from GoogleAug 2016: I have lived at Solhaus for three years now and it's been great. Clean, safe, and responsive management. Great location. The rent is completely fair considering the amenities, and in line with the market. The only reason I would ever move out is if I happen to finish grad school (hopefully someday?) Review from GoogleAug 2013: My fiance and I had a great experience at Solhaus Tower. For the most part we worked with Shelby, the Community Manager, and she was great! She was always very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Any time we had any concerns she was willing to listen and come up with the best solutions. On top of that, the apartments are gorgeous! We absolutely loved the wood flooring, huge windows and stunning kitchen. I would highly recommend this community to anyone looking to move to a great apartment building in Stadium Village.
