GrandMarc Seven Corners, minneapolis-mn

Worst place ever to live, stay away folks I’m not sure why the staff are rude and not helpful, i mean they getting paid by the residents amount right? Watever the only thing i guess the beet thing grandmarc can offer is move out. I dont know what guardrails they put in before letting someone movein since this is a student housing everyone should expect safety at the least. I hole grandmarc or american campus shoukd focus on having nicer guardrails before moving someone in. And hire sensible guys dude. Dont ever expect grandmarc giving nicer explanations of surprise charges on your account.

While this location is very convenient for students who are predominately in class on the West Bank, I would emphasize to SAVE YOUR MONEY and use it somewhere else, even if another place is more expensive then GrandMarc, do it. It’s not worth the risk. Be ready to deal with black mold in your vents, putting in service requests and not hearing back and or not receiving help and having issues continue. You will also get billed for things that they FAIL to tell you about, the staff is so unhelpful which is sad because some are students themselves. Upon move in my apartment was far from clean, my unit had this fish smell for weeks on end and no one did anything about it. There is more I could go on about, please save yourself from being nickel and dimed. College kids are already not the crowd to have tons of money, they take advantage of college kids. Reading the rest of the reviews it’s sad to see nothing is being done about this place.

Don’t live here. Your key to the building and your unit is an app through your phone. If you forget your apartment without your phone after hours they charge you $50. They are proud about this fee being a “discount” because the place across the street charges $150. Just wild.

Looks and smells like the backrooms. Random internet outages. Annoying app needed to enter building. Average star rating should be lower ... anything above 2 stars is from tours. If you believe those it's like trusting your doctor but they didnt go to med school and just did the tour.

I lived here two years and by the time the second year started, i hated this building. 8 times out of 10, most of the elevators are broken but they don’t tell you. The trash shoot was broken for 2 months, so the entire building smelled like trash, which isn’t unusual but it was just a bit stronger than normal. The garage doors are broken or just wide open all the time so of course people’s cars are going to get broken into and bikes are going to get stolen. But no, they’ll say it’s because residents are letting people tailgate into the garage. There was also multiple times that random homeless people were in the building. One time, there was a man in the courtyard who was yelling. There have been several times I have run into homeless people in the stairwells, as well as just hanging out in the garage. The building is just dirty. There was vomit on the floor of the hallway for a week before it got cleaned. There is just random stains all over the carpets in the hallways and the building always smells like it is rotting. The other day, there was just a mysterious red liquid all over the walls and the elevator. The rooms are a level of dirty that they can’t be truly clean. When you move in, half of the things are broken but even if you put it on the move in form, they don’t do anything. The water in the building smells like sewer constantly. I had to start buying heavily scented laundry detergent to try to cover the smell. Somehow, there was water trapped between the double glass of the window so I could barely see out of it because it got so humid in between them. The On-Call staff does not care if you call them. I had called maybe 5 times to try to make a noise complaint and was told that since no one else had complained, they couldn’t do anything. There was genuinely just people banging on the walls in the hallway and they did not care. The office is NEVER open. They constantly change the hours so it is truly a mystery when they’ll be there. Think it’s open? Nope, there’s a “be back in 5 minutes sign” and they won’t be back for an hour IF YOU’RE LUCKY. Get locked out at 9am? The office should be open so it’ll be easy to get back in. Nope, suddenly they’re not open until 10am, so you’re out $50 and have a very uncomfortable interaction with the on-call staff who is only in a short robe and very obviously not clothed underneath. The air conditioning in my apartment was broken for the entire summer and all they gave me was a window unit that barely worked and i resorted to sleeping in the living room so i could sit right in front of it so MAYBE it’d help. When they finally came to fix it, I could hear the maintenance man telling someone on the phone about how the AC unit was on fire, but he disconnected the smoke alarms so I had no idea until my apartment started smelling like a campfire. If you imagine a run down dorm building, then triple the rent, you’ll land on this building. Paying $1200 in rent for an apartment here was possibly one of the worst financial choices of my life. $100 for parking but there is so many useless pillars in the garage that it’s nearly impossible NOT to mess up your car. Please, for your own sanity, do not live here.
