What a hidden gem right near the Mayo campus. We were looking for a place to stay while visiting…read morethe Mayo Clinic and needed two rooms. I found the Berkman during my online search and thought the pictures were too good to be true. We were able to rent a two bedroom unit with living room and kitchen and it was perfect. Clean, modern, and streamline. The staff were kind and helpful, the facility was great, and there are even beautiful common areas. The Berkman is located directly across the street from the Entrance to St. Mary's hospital.

HEATING AND COOLING PROBLEM! NOT TOLD AHEAD OF TIME, BE AWARE…read more You do not get to pick the temperature in your apartment. You pay for cooling and heating (not only in your apartment but for the common area as well). We were not told this or we never would have moved here. If its below a certain degrees outside (55 i think), the building automatically turns on heat and if its above 65 then it turns on air conditioning. Well, it gets up to 77 degrees in my apartment at night and it is absolutely horrible. I have turned off the thermostat and its still over 70 and I wake up several times throughout the night because its miserably hot. even with the windows open (they only open slightly so you don't get a whole lot of air from outside) but its so loud since there is a hospital outside and so many noisy cars at night that that makes it hard. Imagine how hot the gym is then.....I can't even use the gym here. Also, the garbage door for the whole floor is broken and doesn't automatically shut and people leave it open, leaving the hallway smelling HORRIBLE! I've discussed with management and the issue has never been resolved. This isn't just my floor, I know people in the building and it seems to be a problem on other floors as well. T he Dog area here is often dirty and the smells so bad, its enough to make you want to throw up. They don't irrigate it properly at all. It's disgusting. Be aware. The apartment themselves are okay but there its obvious they cut some corners here. I also was not told that my balcony door won't lock which makes me uncomfortable. This place is overpriced and there are some MAJOR issues. I wouldn't recommend for the price they charge here. Additionally some of the elevators are often out of order leading to long wait times, one person told me they waited over 15 minutes just to get on the elevator (which is an issue if you live on a higher up floor). They make you pay for parking. The parking lot is a disaster with very close spots and its 2 ways but going around the corners is very nerve racking as people fly by and you can't really see at all when making the turn. Really consider this before you get locked in here and pay thousands of dollars in rent. I was not from here and only had a quick tour before moving here from out of state and wish I had known about al these issues. The biggest the heating and cooling. Be prepared to suffer unbearable nights of sweating. Oh yeah and the power outages and lack of wifi....if you work from home or have work to do at home...forget it.....Also...There are spots in my apartment where I can't make phone calls because of the poor service.

It is in an excellent location (Panera Bread and First Meeting Noodles). The fact that it stands between two hotels is not a problem. The path in back for bicycling and walking is perfect and it's a short walk to HyVee. Management responds to requests quickly. It's not downtown but then there are no exorbitant parking fees.

We had the absolute best experience working with Noelle and can't recommend her enough. As…read morefirst-time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions (especially being completely new to the process), but she always made us feel comfortable being ourselves and never once made us feel anything less than supported. What stood out most were her integrity and kindness -- we always trusted her guidance and felt confident she was looking out for us every step of the way. She genuinely cared about us as people, not just clients, and always prioritized our safety and wellbeing. Noelle is incredibly knowledgeable and well-researched, and she shared information at whatever level we needed in order to feel comfortable. She truly listened and remembered what we were looking for, so we never felt like just another client. She also went above and beyond in ways she didn't have to, helping with things outside her role and connecting us with amazing resources for insurance and mortgage support. By the end, she felt more like a friend than a realtor, and someone we could trust and turn to anytime. We're so grateful for her!!

I've never had any problems and don't know anybody here that has had any complaints. I WILL say they do a great job with the snow removal and keeping walkways clear and shoveled/salted and stuff like that. They even had a friendly little breakfast thing in the main office a while ago, which was nice. I didn't really know the people that work here, but everybody seems nice and helpful. I guess the only negative thing would be that we don't have an amazon locker or anything like that and UPS drops everything off at the office so you have to go get your package which can be annoying. Anyway it's a good place to live and the rent and stuff like that is a good value I think.

After about a few months in, staff changed and the replacements (half of which are still there now) were rude and unpleasant. Don't expect to be treated like a paying customer. Expect to be treated like a burden and like they have a million things better to do than actually focus on half-decent customer service. And when you move out, don't expect your deposit back, and EXPECT them to give a humiliating and rude walk through of your apartment. The goods: The maintenance team in this complex is a absolutely excellent. They should consider offering their services elsewhere because they are fantastic.
