The Quarters Mankato, mankato-mn

I recently went through the leasing process with my son and his friends for the first time and the staff are very friendly and helpful. They respond quickly to questions and requests for a tour. It is fast pace since it is a popular place to live and can be stressful. Sky was especially very helpful during this process. She was willing to answer questions, regularly check up on us and even send a quick follow up email letting us know we had completed the process and were locked in. Overall great experience!

Loved my time living here! My unit was very spacious and we hardly ever had issues with anything. If we did, maintenance was quick and efficient. Amenities are great and staff are helpful. The events they have are awesome and it is evident that management cares about residents. Would recommend!

One month was enough for me. ONE MONTH WAS ENOUGH. READ THIS BEFORE YOU SIGN A LEASE If you're considering The Quarters, especially if you're a parent considering housing for your son or daughter, do yourself a favor before signing anything. Visit this property late on a Friday or Saturday night. Then come back Sunday morning. What you see may be very different from what you see during a leasing tour. I lived here for approximately one month. I fully intended to stay when I moved in. Instead, within roughly four weeks, I decided I'd rather pack everything back up and leave early. During my time here, I witnessed near constant partying, open drug use, underage drinking, fights, assaults, theft, and vandalism. Multiple police vehicles coming and going from the property at night became a familiar sight. In my experience, security was nowhere near adequate for the environment residents were dealing with. The noise was ridiculous. People yelling from balconies late at night, motorcycles revving their engines, and vehicles speeding through the parking lot were all part of my experience. Then there were Sunday mornings. Beer cans and trash scattered around the property. Used condoms discarded on the ground and sidewalks. Piles of vomit along the sidewalks and stone landscaping. Overflowing dumpsters. Some mornings, the property looked more like a neglected property in one of the roughest parts of the city than somewhere people were paying good money to call home. Parking was another nightmare. In my experience, after approximately 5 p.m., finding a parking space anywhere near your apartment could be nearly impossible. If you found one at all, you could end up parking what felt like three blocks away and walking back to your unit. Then you got to spend the night wondering whether your vehicle was safe sitting that far away. That concern stopped being hypothetical for me when my own truck was damaged while I lived here. The amenities were one of the things that initially made the property appealing. When I moved in, they were available throughout the day and late into the evening. Shortly afterward, a serious incident at the pool involving an assault made the news and, according to reports, resulted in seven arrests. Afterward, access to the amenities was substantially restricted. My experience after that was having to call security to gain access and sometimes waiting around 30 minutes for someone to arrive and open the facility. These are amenities residents are paying for. It felt like responsible residents lost convenient access because security couldn't adequately control what was happening there. My interactions with the leasing office didn't inspire much confidence either. Communication from the leasing manager "Sky" felt inconsistent and disorganized When I brought concerns about the environment to her attention, the response I received was essentially that these were young college students being young college students. There's a difference between college students having fun and residents dealing with fights, property damage, police activity, open drug use, and concerns about the safety of themselves and their property. In my opinion, brushing serious concerns aside as young people being young people completely misses that distinction. The apartment itself didn't come close to making up for the rest of the experience. My unit did not appear to have been properly cleaned before I moved in. I dealt with fruit flies in my shower, dirty, low quality carpet, cheap generic fixtures, a low quality stove, and cabinets that were literally coming apart. I also subsequently learned about serious violence reported at College Town, another nearby student housing property under the same ownership. Public reporting describes violent disturbances there involving injuries and police response, as well as an arrest connected to an alleged baseball bat assault and.drive by shooting. I wish I had known about that history while deciding whether I wanted to live at a property operated by the same ownership.

I love it here, but I do have a few complaints. The speed bumps are so aggressive I’m pretty sure my head hit the ceiling multiple times and my muffler decided to retire on the spot. And the WiFi? Don’t even bother unless your favorite hobby is watching loading circles and frozen screens for hours.

Love living here. The amenities like the pool and hot tub are some of my favorite.
