An incredible place to stay
The Genesee has been an incredible place to stay, the staffing is wonderful and very responsive! I have been here for two ... years and it’s been great! Read More about An incredible place to stayBy: Disha Patel
Source: Google ReviewGreat place, great staff!
I can honestly say that I have enjoyed every minute of living here. I moved in at the beginning of COVID last year. At that ... time most of the amenities were closed. The staff did an exceptional job at keeping tenants safe and distant. As restrictions started to lessen this year, the staff once again did an excellent job at following CDC guidelines. I will truly miss this place. I have no complaints. My neighbors are awesome, the staff is always friendly, and the maintenance crew is great! I just want to thank the entire Genesse team for this awesome experience. It has been a pleasure being a tenant here. -Ashley Read More about Great place, great staff!By: Ashley Chatman Verified Resident

Source: Google ReviewHad a great experience
I just recently moved in and had a great experience. This building is (at least the "tower", the 8 story building) is top ... quality with concrete construction, and there appears to be very little to no noise transmission between the units. The floors feel solid and don't creak like other "luxury" apartments we looked at. The absolutely massive windows brighten our apartment immensely. Other comments about the management team and quick maintenance service are spot on, everyone is super friendly and the things we noted when we moved in were fixed in just a couple days. Best part of the location is quick access to a Fresh Thyme literally across the parking lot, and a Target across the street if you need anything else. My GF and I spent a lot of time trying to find a quality quiet apartment to live in, and among the sea of cardboard cutout "luxury" apartments with zero soundproofing, this one stands out.

Source: Google ReviewIt was an excellent experience
I lived there for close to three years. It was an excellent experience. The management was reasonable about rent and very ... fair back when I began renting (2017) and throughout the time I was living there (until 2020). The staff were really awesome, down to earth, friendly, and helpful. Others have mentioned Whitney and Tyler as being particularly awesome and I second that. Cindy was also very friendly and helpful. The apartment itself was very modern with granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, in-unit washer/dryer, and almost sound-proof walls (I could only really hear my neighbors if I really tried and they had kids and grandkids over a lot so it's impressive I didn't really notice any noise). The underground, heated garage was included in the rent which was amazing and the amenities were great too. I didn't really use the pool but the gym was so convenient and had enough equipment that I didn't even need a gym membership to an outside gym. The location is crazy good too, it's got so much stuff around it like Fresh Thyme right across the street, Target, Caribou, Chick-fil-a, and the whole southtown mall across American Blvd. Not to mention, it's also reasonably close to both cities, the airport, and the mall. Centennial lakes was a spot that I would go to quite often as well and that was under a 10-minute drive away too. To put the cherry on top, I got my full security deposit back which does not happen, ever (in my experience with other apartments, there's always some miscellaneous cleaning charge withheld even if I do my best to clean the apartment before leaving). Thanks, Genesee, for the great experience. Read More about It was an excellent experienceBy: Peter Znameroski

The apartment complex is nice, it's in a great location, and maintenance always fixes issues quickly. The plaza apartments ... are super quiet. I literally never heard my neighbors. The noise in the tower building is just okay. You can definitely hear your neighbors every now and then but it's not too bad compared to some apartment complexes.

The quality of service provided to residents at the Genesee is none like we've experienced before. We've lived at other luxury ... apartment complexes, and in comparison, the Genesee is our favorite so far. The company must high standards for their staff, because everything is handled so well. It's a pleasant place to come home to, because it's always clean and quiet. We never hear our neighbors - sides, above, or below. We looked at other apartments in Bloomington, and I'm so glad we chose this one. There's a reason their reviews online are so good! Read More about QualityBy: Anonymous Verified Resident

Source: Google ReviewGreat Choice!!
In the process of moving out of Genesee now and will definitely miss living here! Great apartment (Pepin layout) that was ... very comfortable for my son and I. The office and maintenance staff were always very friendly and prompt with any concerns. The pool and rooftop areas along with the gym and party room were great amenities. Never had an issue with parking either. My only note of caution would be noise. Maybe I wasn't used to apartment living after several years of home ownership, but I experienced issues with the noise level of my neighbors for an extended period of time. I know managements hands are tied a bit, but it did disrupt our schedules. Additionally, the apartment faced Penn Ave so the street noise took some getting used to. Overall, though, this is a great place to live and I would recommend it for anyone searching for a place! Read More about Great Choice!!By: Bill Verified Resident
Source: Property SiteI’ve been blessed to call the Genesee my home!
I should probably note that this is my first apartment ever so I have nothing to compare the Genesee too - but why would ... I? The Genesee and their staff were amazing from start to finish and they continue to be. My partner and I have looked into dozens of apartments and maybe seen a handful of them. It’s safe to say that apartment tours can sometimes be redundant and mundane, but Erin, Tyler, and Whitney provided such a fun and memorable apartment tour that we knew upon leaving that we wanted to live here. The application process was easy and relatively swift, as we impatiently waited to hear the status of our application for an agonizing 3 days. Cue to 10 months of living here, the staff continue to provide exceptional customer service to all residents. I can honestly say that they’re genuinely amazing people. In addition, the maintenance team is very timely with work orders and does an amazing job to keep the Genesee clean. All in all, you can’t go wrong with living here (I would recommend not living anywhere else, tbh). I’ve been blessed to call the Genesee my home!

This morning I had a flat tire. Very fortunately for me members of the Maintenance team, Rick and John, were working nearby. ... I walked over and explained to team my situation and asked if there was an air station available in the complex. Rick explained not currently, but he and John would be happy to assist. They left to retrieve an air compressor and inflated my tire. Their attitudes and assistance was and is greatly appreciated. So I decided to write this review to thank Rick and John again. Their assistance, along with all the other amenities and services for which I have access are all reasons I am very happy to be a resident of Genessee.

I love living at Genesee! Moving here is the best decision I ever made. I love everything about Genesee, including the unit ... I live in, pool, rooftop, business center, free coffee/tea bar, party room, free yoga classes, my balcony, etc. I also love living in this area! I can walk 10 steps out of my front door to get to Fresh Thyme, great outdoor patios in the area, my work is across the street, and it's a central location to St. Paul and Minneapolis. The staff really cares about every resident. When I didn't find the perfect unit for my roommate and me, they invited us back a month later to look at more options instead of pressuring us to sign a lease for something we weren't completely in love with. Thankfully we found the perfect unit because I can't imagine living anywhere else! Read More about Best Place I've Ever Lived!By: Anonymous Verified Resident

I love the Concrete Tower, as I call it. I am fortunate to live on the 8th floor. Quiet. This building has the look and feel ... of a modern, metropolitan co-op that you might find in NYCity, Chicago, or LA. I would have never put this kind of service, ammenities, and curb appeal in Bloomington, MN. The security level is terrific. We have some younger residents here and they have told me that their parents are happy with how safe the envrionment is for their independent living son or daughter. Because the main lobby area with the community room, theatre room, business center, and mail boxes is so open, it feels like a hotel or conference center versus an apartment building. I think this is a well thought out property. I like the materials used for my unit. I would recommend this place to any person. The demographic diversity is like NONE that I have ever seen. It is like living on the University of MN campus with all of the wonderful people from all walks of life. Read More about Consistency In ManagementBy: Catherine H Verified Resident

The amenities are awesome. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. The buildings and grounds are kept very clean. ... The apartments are quiet.

We're on the bus line. 494 is a block away but you never hear the trafific. Genesee is in a perfect location. After selling our home and not having another one ready to move into, we decided to live in an apartment while we house searched.

Source: Property SiteSo Far...So Good
I've been at Genesee for three months so far and have found that the pros are: - Extremely convenient location - Nice-looking ... apartments with stainless appliances and a smooth-top range as well as full size He washer and dryer - Concierge with services such as in-apartment package and dry cleaning delivery - Self-service car wash - Well-maintained units and grounds - State-of-the-art fitness room - Professional staff Cons: - Walls are paper-thin - It seems that one-bedroom apartments are not necessarily only for one or two individuals - Apartments are small in relation to cost of rent - Lack of storage space I have mostly enjoyed my first three months at Genesee. I was worried that they allow small dogs but I haven't noticed any "accidents" in the common areas nor been bothered by any barking.

I like living here. If you chose to live at Genesee though, to make it worthwhile you should really consider if you will ... use the amenities. As a single adult, I pay a great deal more for rent than I would somewhere else in the city, but it is worth it if you actually use the conveniences in the building. I am disappointed however that there are many sites that are blocked on the Genesee computer network, even when you are using your own computer. When I moved in I thought I would be able to use the internet lounge more often and not have to pay for wi-fi in my unit, however so many sites are blocked I find it more or less useless.
