Absolute best living experience
August 7, 2025
I've lived at the Metropolitan for 3 years and it has been an unbelievably perfect experience. The apartment itself is stunning--huge walk-in closet, brand new appliances including in-unit washer and dryer, and a spectacular high-rise view of Rochester. The building management runs so smoothly and efficiently. All maintenance requests are corrected within the same business day, and building management will address your needs within 24 hours of request. It's truly a dream apartment and you will ...
have the best experience! Everyone who's visited my apartment is amazed at its beauty--this is a luxury building and I would recommend anyone who is looking to rent downtown!

Review from Apartments.com

Best of the best in upscale downtown living
April 7, 2020
I’ve been living in the metropolitan for almost three years and have absolutely loved it. I’m moving away to take a job in another city. The units have high quality finishes and the views are stunning. The sunsets truly never get old. I definitely feel like I’ve gotten much more for my money compared to the other new downtown developments. The security staff is excellent and is always willing to help with the most minor requests. Best of all is the management. The Gallinas are so easy to work ...
with and handle maintenance requests very quickly. They don’t try to nickel and dime residents with late fees and whatever else typical property managers try to pull on residents. They truly care about making everyone happy and it’s been a joy renting from them. I’m confident nowhere I rent from the in the future will come close. If there’s a drawback to living in the Metropolitan, it’s the construction noise. There has been some form of construction noise pretty much the entire time I’ve lived here. As I’m writing this, the city is jackhammering on top of the parking garage. It’s extremely irritating but this is an extreme case. It’s usually a truck’s backup chime or some sort of noise from machinery. Obviously, construction eventually ends and so will the noises but it’s been three years for me and it’s still going on so there’s a question as to when it will end.
