Management and Parking Woes
March 3, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com
I have been here for almost a year now. I give Corsa a 2.5/5.
I'll start with the pros of this building:
- Location. It is amazing being so close to the walking path and Excelsior Blvd. Very convenient.
- Low noise, to a degree. The exterior door is not great at keeping noise out. I know you can't expect a noise-free environment in an apartment, but I also believe you shouldn't hear the jingle of someone's keys as they walk by your door (which I do). I do not regularly hear noise from the ...
surrounding apartments. The pickleball court is a unique feature, but caution: even the fourth-floor apartments facing the courtyard get the pickleball noise quite clearly.
- Gym. It's updated with a lot of different machines. Yoga rooms are a plus too.
- Unique community nights.
- Overall stylish apartment.
Cons:
- The parking garage. It's small and cramped. Also.. open air at a steep $150 a month. This winter wasn't even abnormally cold for a Minnesota winter, yet a pipe burst in the garage, and the garage door seemingly can't work if it's below 15 degrees (I mean.. c'mon, it's MN). The garage was left open for about a week in February alone due to cold temperatures. As of most recent, residents became aware of vehicle break-ins and bike theft in the garage, not from management, but because of the resident community bulletin board. Instead, management sent out a notice about driving speed in the garage with no mention of the break-ins.
- Water quality. I know this is no fault of the apartment building itself, but there is extremely hard water here. A shower head filter is not effective enough, so if you're a bottle blonde like me, just be prepared.
- Lack of appropriate information being shared from management. Since I have been here, there has been a new management staff since the other management staff received many poor reviews (see below). The new management continues to leave more to be desired. Management has not been communicative about building-wide fire alarms. Each time it has happened since living here (at least 3x), I have received no updates. My partner emailed Corsa management asking why it went off, and the response was uninformative. Also, as mentioned above, even when it comes to vehicle break-ins and bike theft, Corsa management still does not provide residents with information about what is being done and what happened.
