Everything was fine for the first several months, then that one incident occurred, the organization responded in favor of the racist tenant, it left me feeling some type of way, needless to say, I found my self looking for a new community to rent from because I did not want to invest in an organization like this. I'm not sure who's idea it was at the organizational level to submit a "final warning slip" to the former African American-Caribbean concierge earlier this year, one week after the garage incident/harassment complaint, however, that was a decision that only a racist organization would make. ...........Long story short, while I was minding my own business browsing on my phone in shared living space, some unknown tenant emerged out of nowhere, walked up to me and demanded I show proof of occupancy right around 5 pm during normal business hours as I was coming home from work. After I informed him that I was a renter, he was not trying hear it. He became very hostile, then stormed off to reported me as the suspicious trespasser in the building to the concierge, who coincidently was an African American woman. Even after the concierge informed the tenant that I was a valid renter, he became increasingly rash, defensive and unapologetic, then escalated the issue to general manager Krystal, VP-Jamie and President Brent Rogers. Several days later, these three decided to submit a final warning slip to the black employee prompting her to quit all because the racist tenant who was harassing me implied that black people made them feel uncomfortable. It's like the organization was more concerned about appeasing the white tenant who committed the offense over my right to walk up and down my apt/shared living space without having to worry about being harassed by these class of futile hero mofos. I'm so glad I haven't had to waste my time working with these type of phony companies that pretend to be so BLM friendly in their brocuhures and shit trying to get black people to move into "their" communities, and when we do, one idiot gets so obsessed and threatened by us that they have to violate our rights to make themselves feel safe, and the organization responds in favor of the offender. On a lighter, brighter note: -The company serves breakfast on Wednesday's. -The apartment complex is close to walking trails. -The elevators were very spacious which offers effortless moving (thank god, it made it easier for me to pack all my belongings and evacuate all in one trip.) read more

This was at one time a 5- star rating. Things have radically changed for the worse. The building has water softeners but I guess salt is too expensive so we have hard water. Slp water is hard af. The full time concierge position was eliminated, along with package delivery, so they decided to close the business center and build a package room in its place. This was like 7 months ago. I used the business center daily... it was critical to my business. At first, I was told it was being relocated. I would come down to the office and interrupt the staff to ask them to print for me. After weeks of that, I became so frustrated I just stopped doing it and now I have to pay at an office supply store. The package room has been under construction for SEVEN FUCKING MONTHS. The electrical is just hanging out of the wall. No relocation of the business center. The office staff has turned over completely and is unfriendly, apathetic and incompetent. I left my keys in the mailroom in early June and someone turned them into the office. I asked them if they had my keys and they said no. I had a really bad day after that. Turned my apartment inside out, had the (awesome) maintenance man dig through a dumpster, etc.. only to learn the office had them all along. The property used to be beautiful, but now it looks like shit. The lawn has gigantic dead patches, weeds are growing everywhere and apparently mulch is in the same category with softener salt because they didn't bother buying and spreading new mulch this year. The interior of the building isn't any better. People are moving out so often (one of the reasons I loved living here were my neighbors) and walls get damaged. They used to be quickly repaired but no longer. The walls are chipped, paint is marred and the carpets are full of pet stains and smell of urine. The garage door to the "secure" underground parking garage is broken all. the. time and stuck open, might as well lay out a welcome thieves and vandals mat but of course that's not in the budget either. The building is 6 years old and the windows have never been washed. The rooftop, again, used to be beautiful but now all the trees are dead, the tables and grill area are filthy, the grill works only sometimes, and someone broke a floor tile next to the fireplace so now there's a hole in the floor. Super classy. The grills on the first floor don't work at all. Last, there used to be awesome parties and events. They've changed. They used to buy decent food and beverages but now it's gas station food and Miller light. If you're into spending $20k annually for 697 square feet (don't get me wrong, I do love my apartment) and dealing with what I've described, you'll love living at the verge. It's a great location and the people and the building used to be amazing but everyone I talk to can't wait to get out of their lease. The only logical conclusion I can come to is either the owners of the building are in trouble financially and siphoning money out of their property as much as possible because they are going to sell it once they've bled it dry or they don't know how incompetent Saturday Properties is managing their building. Update: the irrigation system broke about a month ago so nothing is getting watered. read more

The Verge Apartments has been extremely aware and up to date regarding COVID19. They are doing everything they can to follow CDC guidelines. They have had to cancel resident events, but adapted and created virtual ones like virtual trivia night! They also send out email reminders to wear a mask and to respect the people in the building, which I appreciate. Randomly, you see residents not wearing a mask in the elevator or the gym, but that is out of managements control. Overall, they are doing the best they can! read more

We have lived here for a year and a half and just signed on for another year. Of the many high-end apartment complexes we have lived in over the years, this is our favorite. Major perks: amazing coffee every morning in the lobby. Wednesday waffle breakfasts. Monthly resident events where complimentary beer and wine are flowing. Package delivery. Smoke-free building. Prompt maintenance staff. Everyone who works here is incredibly pleasant and always up for just chatting. We have always felt like if there was feedback to be given, the staff has been all-ears. The other major perk is that the building is super dog friendly. It does come with the inherent annoyance of residents who don't clean up after their pets, but management seems to combat that as much as they can. Also LOCATION. We are less than a mile from Target, Lund's, Trader Joe's, Fresh Thyme, and a bunch of other amazing stores and restaurants. For someone who loves grocery shopping, this location is heaven. Not to mention being right next to Wolfe Park, which makes for great walks with the dog. And even though Saint Louis Park has more of a suburban feel, you are still only 10 minutes from uptown or downtown. read more

We moved into The Verge apts in November. The office staff has been very helpful. The building has been kept very clean. Whenever we called for service, it was promptly attended to. I wish there were more guest parking spots in front of the building. This is especially a problem in the winter. I hate to ask my guests to park two buildings away. read more

I love the Verge! I am about to sign my third lease here and love the location, amenities, and community. There are granite counter tops, new appliances, views of the Minneapolis skyline, a rooftop with grills & a large fireplace, community events, and underground parking. The building is right next to Lund's & Byerly's, Target, Trader Joe's, and Fresh Thyme. It is a $7 Uber to Uptown and a $12 Uber to Downtown. The Verge is close to Highway 100, so you can easily travel and commute to where ever you need to go. The new management team is competent and reliable. Ben, the current manager is outstanding. 5 stars for The Verge! read more

I lived in a two bed, two bath corner unit at Verge for two years. My roommate and I looked at apartments and condos for three months before signing a lease at Verge. We loved our corner unit with windows on both sides and a view of the Minneapolis skyline. I woke up to seeing the sunrise over Minneapolis nearly every day - it was amazing! We had a patio that overlooked the SLP Rec Center pool, which was a huge highlight for my dog. While the empty pool wasn't the best view in the winter, the hockey rink set up in the colder months gave my dog something new to watch. She was always entertained! The hardwood floors, large bathrooms and full laundry room were huge selling points when we selected our unit. Once moved in and settled, we realized a few flaws with the unit. The kitchen was very tiny with little storage. While the cabinets reach the ceiling, the top two shelves cannot be used for day to day equipment. The granite counters are beautiful but very dark and hide almost all crumbs and dust. We had to constantly wipe the counters even when they looked clean, and towels always came up much dirtier than the counter appeared. Both our bedrooms were tiny, which lead to us moving out after two years. It was okay at first, but eventually you are ready for more space. The little to no storage in these units was another reason we left. I had to do seasonal clothing swaps at my parent's house to have enough closet space. The issues we had with our unit were manageable, but once the dog moved in, we noticed we really needed more space. Management was the final reason to us moving out. Over the course of two years at Verge, we had 4 different General Managers, a least 5 different Leasing Agents and 3 different Assistant Managers. Maintenance and Concierge staff were constantly rotating (except Anthony). I work in Hospitality Management myself and I know it can be somewhat difficult to always keep a full staff. However, with Management changing every 3 - 6 months, it was difficult to know who to contact for emergencies or even with random questions. When Management changed, rules changed. The main rules that changed applied to dogs, which became a major frustration as a new dog mom. My dog was only supposed to go potty in one corner of the building by the street corner. This was not easy for potty training! The building claimed non-dog owners complained about the grass space being dirty with dog pee and poop. While I agree, this is due to irresponsible dog owners not picking up after their dog. My new apartment unit does the dog DNA poop test, so you can get fined for not picking up your dog's poop. I have yet to see poop in the yard after 5 months in my new building. This is a simple solution Saturday Properties should put in place, instead of yelling at dog owners as their dog is outside to get off the grass. Unfortunately, I had issues after moving out as well. My roommate and I received notification we were being refunded our full security deposit amount, which was amazing. However, it took 4 full months to receive the check. We had emailed different members of management numerous times, made countless phone calls and even visited the office in person. Nothing changed and our frustration grew. We reached out to Saturday Properties themselves and received our check a week later. Verge wasn't perfect and I had frustrations with management from time to time, but it was home for two years. All management companies struggle to keep on top of everything that goes on in a 200+ unit building so these issues somewhat expected. I made good friends there, enjoyed drinking coffee on my patio on Sunday mornings and fell in love with St. Louis Park on frequent neighborhood dog walks. At the end of the day, the issues I had with the building management were minor, and I do truly miss living at Verge. read more

The Verge employees have done at great job with handling everything in regards to COVID-19 and have done their best to make sure safety measures are in place, common areas are kept clean, and also having consistent communication with all residents to address issues, most importantly those around the virus. The current manager, Ben, is incredibly helpful and has definitely made the Verge a better community to live at since he stepped into his role. As with any apartment living goes, there will always be something to complain about, however especially during these times in a pandemic, the effort from the staff isn't going unnoticed. read more

I lived here from 3/25/17 to 11/1/2019. Considering to live here? RUN AWAY. I can't even express just how awful this apartment was. The building itself could definitely use some TLC, but the management company, Saturday Properties, made living here unbearable. I moved in right after Saturday Properties took over and was told of all of the great things that were going to happen with the management change. After 2.5 years, the changes weren't worth it. Yes, they put in a fire place - it works about 0.000003% of the time. They offer breakfast every Wednesday morning - there's never enough breakfast for each person that lives here and it's not worth checking out. On several occasions, the yogurt they offered was expired. They recently took away their business center to put in a package room. They heavily advertised package delivery (it was something you were able to opt into in your lease) and now it's gone. The business center was supposed to be moved to another part of the building, but that didn't happen during my time here. The amount of employee turnover at this place was ridiculous. While I lived here, there were 4 property managers and a handful of assistant managers and leasing agents. Employee retention for this property was horrific. The lack of professionalism at this building is atrocious. You will be told by office staff that you are not a "good fit" for their community to your face. Fair housing violations left and right. Office staff love to gossip about residents with other residents for everyone to hear. God forbid you have any questions for the leasing staff or management and it's as if you're asking for their first-born child. They are the worst about getting back to you if you have any questions and be prepared to follow up with them a handful of times to get another "we'll get back to you." The resident events were very classy at first with good quality apps and quality beverages. Be prepared for $5 boxed wine and 4-day old cheese plates from Target. Not to mention that the apartment building turns into party town. Imagine living in a frat house. When you're paying $24,540 annually for rent, you should expect to be in a place that actually cares and puts in effort into the building. The owners must definitely not give a shit about this building to let it be in the condition it's in. Where is resident money going? It's obviously not going into the maintenance of this building. The parking garage is another mess. The garage door was broken for YEARS and it took them a long time to fix it. They advertised it as a "secure" garage but there have been MULTIPLE break-ins during my time here. A car was even stolen on one occasion! Verge responded to the residents who had their cars broken into (mine included) that although they have cameras, they do not work and it is unfortunate and they take no responsibility. Fast forward a year, the garage door is VERY broken. It's wide open for anyone to come and go. Not to mention, once you get into the garage, you have FULL ACCESS to the entire building. They said (since 2017) that they would be putting a secure door in the garage to access the elevators. Never happened. Management sent out an email that for our "safety" there would be security present at the entrance of the garage. That lasted one day. The garage was still wide open for a few more weeks. As a young woman who lives by herself and sometimes works late, coming home can be very anxiety filled because you never know who could be lurking in the garage or the building because it is not as secure as advertised. During the time of the garage door being broken and open (2019), there was a person who snuck into the building and was living in the 10th floor party room. They had a warrant out for assault. Thank God a resident called the police before someone was hurt. The building didn't even tell the residents what was going on until there were multiple complaints. But of course, the true story wasn't in the email notices from management. They finally fixed the garage door. Took them forever. A week later, the garage door was having problems again. I'm very surprised that Saturday Properties is still managing this building. If I owned this building, they would have been fired at the first sign of incompetence. It's very surprising to see fellow residents, who boasted about how great this place was, finding ways to get out of their leases or moving out. I even boasted about this building to friends when I first moved in. This building was a ghost town when I left. It was also dirty. The elevator will be dirty for DAYS. Things will be broken for weeks. The staff see it but do nothing about it. I did appreciate the men who worked in maintenance. There are way better options in the St. Louis Park area for this same price point with management companies that put the residents and building first before their profit. If the owners don't turn this building around, they probably won't have any residents left. read more

Verge apartments have done a great job implementing COVID-19 safety rules and precautions. They have been following the CDC guidelines very closely and with great care for their residents. Masks are required around the whole building, even in the workout room. Guests are required to spray down any workout equipment they use and there is a maximum of 10 people in the workout room. As a guest of verge apartments, I can say I am proud of the way they are handling this tough situation, especially when dealing with a building full of people. I can honestly say I feel safe at the verge. read more

Overall, we enjoyed our time at The Verge. My boyfriend, I and our two dogs lived there for one and half (1 1/2) years. The building itself provides great features- rooftop patio, club room, and fitness center. However, the Staff is ever-changing. Currently, the site manager is Krystal. She has been the BEST asset to the building. She is always available and responds to residents concerns. Rewa the Front Desk Clerk- is GREAT as well. She is always working and smiling. The other employees are sub-par and they are always changing office staff.... Hopefully, Krystal and Rewa are there for awhile. I would warn you- they do lack guest parking. Basically, have to try to save the unmarked top spots or find one in Park Shores next door....which a few and far between. We had a few minor issues while living there- but they were resolved quickly. read more

Unsafe, BEWARE. The management of this place is pitiful to say the least. I routinely find dog poop in the hallways inside the building, as well as dog pee that is not cleaned up. I recently took the elevator, and it malfunctioned causing what I believe to be a drop. After falling 2 floors, I was able to get off. Management's response was unprofessional and equivalent to "deal with it". Also this place has poor security. No security cameras on the residential floors, or in the elevators. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

We like our apartment unit, amenities are nice, it's usually very clean in hallways and common areas. We lived here for 2 years. Management does make a big impact--we have had some experiences with other property managers and we were much less happy with how things were operating, but the current manager, Ben K., is doing great. read more

+ Awesome management/office to work with. + Great location - access to anywhere - downtown in 15 min. + Great community and atmosphere w/events in the building...They serve up breakfast on Wednesday mornings and beer on Fridays, I mean, really?!? Do yourself a favor and check it out! read more

"Where we love is home - home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts."-Oliver Wendell Holmes I will be the first to say I've lived in many places. Out of all the places I've lived in Verge Apartments is my favorite! With enough choices of layouts the Verge Apartments really do fit your needs and your lifestyle. Not only are the apartments modern and clean but the building is always well kept! The location is another winner but the big bonus is having wonderful staff members to help you. One in particular is Cody Roos. He is the Assistant Property Manager and Resident Services Leader. I cannot even put into words how helpful he has been! He organizes such great events for the building and he really does help you take care of everything when moving in or in our case when moving up floors! My boyfriend and I have only lived here a short while but we both agree this is the place we want to be in for years to come. I would definitely recommend to check this place out if you're looking for more than a home but also a small loving community! read more

My roommate and I have lived in a Verge apartment since this last summer and have very much enjoyed our stay thus far. The staff is really friendly and the facility is very new and nicely decorated. Our apartment looked like it had never been lived in when we first moved in. I was very impressed by how smoothly the entire move-in process went. Some of the perks I particularly enjoy is the close proximity to groceries/shopping/fitness facilities and the underground parking garage. Plus the weekly free breakfast in the lobby never gets old. I recommend checking it out! read more
