Fieldhouse Dinkytown, minneapolis-mn

I don't recommend living here. they market a quality student living experience but it's far from it: the hallways consistently smelled horrible with the overflowing trash rooms, the back entrance was broken for over half the lease very inconvenient, our ice machine froze over once a month and we had to make several maintenance requests, but they had no interest in replacing it. Expect up to $70 in additional fees on top of your rent. I liked my unit but outside of that everything was disappointing. You just don't get what you pay for.

This apartment provides an overall great experience, but there are small things that make you wonder about the value of your rent. This is the best gym setup I saw amongst almost all of the 10+ apartments I toured. They host 4 events monthly, and they get a great turnout + engagement. Their social areas (study rooms, game rooms, pool) are very nice. The rooms are also nice. It's just a smaller place than other complexes, but they charge... more. You can do better than Fieldhouse, but that doesn't make them bad. Two things of note. First, the management moves slowly. I think they're swamped with things to attend to, take that as you will. Second, the trash room can overflow. I didn't believe it was a real issue when I began leasing here, but it can be a big problem; trash bags have filled the trash room floor in the past. Technicians respond in a reasonable time, though. Repairs never took long.

We had a great experience with move-in at Fieldhouse Dinkytown for my son's sophomore year. The process was very well organized and communicated. Thank you to Annika and Joi for a tremendous experience and outstanding customer service. Your dedication to these students is amazing!

REVIEW UPDATE: I have been unfortunate enough to now be on my third year living here, due to working full-time (‘23 graduate) and being from out of state. For starters, management seems very disorganized and tends to respond slowly. For instance, both times I renewed, somehow things on their end fell through the cracks on something, which was only resolved by my incessant follow-up. On other occasions, I have had erroneous charges placed in my account, which were only caught because I looked carefully at my bill. If you have an issue with anything, good luck. In my first year, a nearby unit constantly blared music in the late hours of the night during the week, and despite pinpointing the unit with video and time-stamped proof of the complaint (at their request), the issue was never resolved. On two separate occasions, I have also had issues regarding minor vandalism to my car parked in the expensive garage that they “weren’t able to help with.” Then last August, the ONLY garage door to the first-floor garage got backed into and damaged, which they knew about by 11 pm that night (because they sent an email). The next morning, when I tried to go to work at 8 am, I had to wait an hour for someone from management to show up to say they were just then calling the company to fix it, which wasn’t done until noon that day. If I don’t work, I don’t get paid, so I lost half a day’s pay due to being unable to use my car. Additionally, safety is more of a facade than anything. Even though you need a key fob to go anywhere, and they changed the door lock hours, people are also piggybacking off of people into the building. HUGE parties in the community areas are common (with mostly nonresidents). Police have been called to the building numerous times after hours for issues. One of which was after the security guard had his face bashed in (haven’t seen him back since and I don’t blame him). While the amenities are nice, the weights in the gym are nearly always a mess, and half the treadmills are broken more often than they’re working. The pool is nice when you can find a spot and aren’t disturbed by other disrespectful residents. The disrespect continues towards the property, too, with the trash rooms a disaster and the hallways a mess. Most of the 5-star reviews on here are from people who just toured or management themselves, and it shows. Save yourself a lot of frustration and money by looking elsewhere.

Would give zero stars if I could. Don’t live here guys STAY AWAY!!! my units air conditioning went out for a WEEK during the hottest week of summer and they took over a week to fix it. And when they did fix it, they did it wrong and our kitchen flooded. Which also took them a week to address. They towed my car from my OWN SPOT even though my license plate was registered in their system. Units are cheap and the rent is WAY too expensive for what you get. The property manager is impossible to get ahold of, as I was always told she was busy but never told when she would be free even though I asked multiple times. The desk people are so rude it’s unbelievable. Idk who taught them to act like that. Probably management. Stay away unless you like emptying your bank account for an absolute dump with even trashier desk workers and “management” (in quotes bc they never did anything but sit around and hide from doing their job)
