The Bridges Dinkytown, minneapolis-mn

I’ve had a great experience living in a 2 bed / 2 bath apartment at The Bridges in Dinkytown. The layout is super spacious and perfect for having roommates while still having your own privacy. I also have a dog, and it’s been very pet-friendly. Never had issues Maintenance has been really quick whenever we’ve needed something fixed. they respond fast and get things done efficiently. The front desk staff are always nice, helpful!! The view from the apt is AMAZING Overall I would recommend! Lived here for 2 years

$175 per garage parking spot (monthly) for unreliable parking. Had to spend $60 in Ubers to get to work because the automatic garage door broke and there’s no safety system to open it from within. Management refused to reimburse. Also refused to provide a solution to prevent this from happening again. They prioritize attracting new residents over taking care of loyal tenants. Highly recommend not leasing here. Plenty of other properties in dinkytown.

Dakota worked with my roommates and I to secure a short term lease for the fall. She was great, communicative, and was so helpful throughout the process. It was definitely a stressful time trying to find a sub-lease, but Dakota ensured that she was with us every step of the way!

You know what it's been over a year since I lived at The Bridges and I think my brain must've had some sort of trauma response & blocked out my experiences here but I still got a few things to say. Other than Miss Kia? idk our iconic security queen who everyone loved and was fired probably for no good reason, there was nothing redeemable about this place. Not only are you compromising location-wise because it's slightly further out from campus, but literally every aspect of this place sucks considering you're paying just as much as (if not more than) other student apartment options. The staff all look like they hate you (and do), guest parking options are nonexistent--if I'm remembering right even my roommate's car was broken into at one point in the actual parking ramp, and the amenities are dingy and useless. I think we were missing a sofa but the one we did have had to be made of plastic. The beds creak every time you breathe and mattresses were very prison bed core. All these people care about is draining your bank account and your soul; not sure where that money is going but it's clearly not toward improving any part of this apartment building or its services whatsoever. Signing here was a curse and I would've been better off camping out on Uncommon's roof or something that year. Great view from our apartment tho. Maintenance people and cleaning lady were nice too but if they have any respect for themselves they don't work there anymore!

If I could leave zero stars I would. This is a building is under terrible management. It is corporate owned and EVERYTHING is awful. If you need help it takes months. My daughter’s apartment was flooded and they asked her to stay in a mold ridden apartment. Only after contacting lawyers and the U of M legal team was she able to get back her rent and NOT her deposit. STAY AWAY!!!
