Flux Apartments

Do not sign a lease here. I repeat DO NOT sign a lease here. I could go on for hours about our horrible experience at Flux but since no one has the much time I will highlight some of their worst offensive. First off, way over priced. You can live across the street for 200 bucks less a month and way more space. Second, management switches every week and no one can keep track of what is going on. Flux over charged us for our parking spaces the entire time we lived there. One of my roommates was paying $ 125, I was paying $ 100 and the other was paying $ 75. When we brought this up to them they claimed their was no documentation supporting this, and we should «feel lucky» that they don’t raise the price on all of our spots. Third, the noise. Our neighbor above us would blare music at all hours of the night, stomp around, and play his piano and guitar at the oddest hours. We complained over 5 times before they warned this tenant. Basically, it took over 6 months to get any peace and quiet. Probably their worst offense was when one of their leasing agents gave a tour of our apartment. We allowed them to enter our place during the day when we were at work. When my roommate arrived home our door had been left unlocked for over 8 hours. The leasing agent did not lock the door fully behind her after the tour she gave. When my roommate confronted her about this unacceptable situation the leasing agent called her a liar. All we wanted was an apology for the damage that could have been done but she refused. The over all problem with this place is once you sign your lease you are pretty much left to fend for yourself. Don’t expect to get a quick response from management when you have a problem or concern. Oh and finally our upstairs neighbors ac unit started leaking through our ceiling, and the spot happened to be right over our tv. All and all there are a million better places to rent in uptown, make this your last resort.

My husband and I rented here for a little over a year. This place is full of disrespectful trust fund babies. There were keg cups left in the pool. Don’t get an apartment on the first floor because the trash room stinks the place up. The dog park was always full of poo and frequently out of plastic poo bags. There was a very bright light outside of our bedroom window that was ALWAYS on. My parking space was taken by someone else’s car about 5 times and they never towed the person even though there is a sign that says they tow. The fitness room was always full of bros blasting the stereo and dropping weights. My husband and I expected this place to be full of professionals since the price is pretty high but it was like paying to live in a college dorm.

Be aware that many of the 5 star people rating on this work for Flux or reviewed it while they were in their first couple of months living here. I’ve been in Flux for $ 40,000 worth of rent and after they switched up management last year, it’s been nothing but an overly priced, unkept, frat house with garage bags in the hallway, pornography drawn on windshields in the garage week after week, dog poop all around the grasses, helpless management staff and in the summer… a frat house in the pool filled with backflips off 2^nd story structures. I have a dozen photos I’ll upload here later to show what the actual conditions living here look like. I have even connected with the President of Greco himself to help him see what’s going on and he does the «thanks for your feedback I sent it to the management team» which of course is the team that doesn’t do anything about it. If you can, try to see the REAL conversations going on within their Flux social network on Facebook. That’s where the real stories are. I’m still living here, so I’m hoping to help you not make the same mistake I did.
Plenty of options in Uptown to spend your $ 25,000/years on rent… pick a non-​Greco one.

PLEASE READ BEFORE CONSIDERING: I would avoid living in not only this building, but also any of the Greco properties (they own 16 around the metro) and I suggest reading this review prior to signing any lease with. Don’t be fooled by the pampering or false sense of a warm-​welcoming you get when they sit down and try talking you into becoming a tenant at any of their properties.
Everything seems great upon first impression and was relatively alright throughout my time living there. I quickly realized how little Flux/​Greco actually cares about their tenants when I moved out. About a month after moving out, I was sent a bill for over $ 4,000 for miscellaneous erroneous charges such as a ridiculous charge for new carpeting, over $ 600 for a new set of blinds (for 1 window pane), etc. First off, carpet-​ware at any other property is factored into your rent since buildings need to do their own upkeep and upgrades to keep the building in good condition. However, Greco is so incredibly cheap that they charge their tenants for this ridiculous fee after moving out. The blinds in this building must cost $ 30 at the very most; they are the cheapest blinds you can find in any home goods store, but Greco charged me 20x the retail cost to replace just 1 set of them in my unit. Furthermore, when I called to discuss my outrageous bill, the general manager couldn’t have been more unwilling to discuss and talked to me with an extremely rude, condescending tone.
This was when I formed my final opinion on Flux and Greco Property Management. They are a greedy, money-​hungry, company that couldn’t careless about a tenant after their business with them is complete. They are impolite, unfair, and overall a terrible company that I would go out of my way to avoid from here on out. I spent over $ 50,000 renting from them during my time in Flux and to see how little they valued my business afterwards makes me wonder how anyone could ever recommend living around such an utterly terrible group of people. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

We have lived here for 7 months and are about to sign another lease for an additional year. We moved from out of state and had to sign our initial lease without ever seeing our apartment. Of course that made us nervous, as did some of the reviews here on Unilocal.We decided to move forward initially just based on the location. It doesn’t get any better in uptown. Yes, there are many new buildings popping up along the greenway but none are as closely located to everything we love as FLUX.
The rest of our reservations disappeared when we moved in. Yes, there were a few crazy summer pool parties that got out of control but FLUX was very responsive and «on it.» The same went for anything else that would come up. The staff really goes out of their way to be professional, helpful, and kind.
We live on the first floor and love our apartment. Concrete ceilings and floors go a long way in keeping outside noise out. I am a very light sleeper and I’m happy to say we haven’t had any issues.
The building is extremely dog friendly! We consider our dogs children (of course) and the amenities and just overall vibe around FLUX and pets it awesome. From doggie halloween parties, a private dog park, and dog wash we couldn’t be happier.
The rest of the building and amenities are awesome as well. The gym, Pub room, lobby, courtyard, grills, pool and hot tub are all top notch. My only complaint is that the hot tub isn’t year round — maybe someday :)
FLUX also has fantastic resident parties, meals, social gatherings, vodka tasting, charity fundraisers, etc. There always seems to be something fun going on.
Again, overall we couldn’t be happier at FLUX and look forward to another year here.

Property: Beautiful property in a young hip location in Uptown Minneapolis. There is NO visitor parking and on this side of Uptown it is a challenge. So just expect that. The floor plans and common spaces are fantastic. You will love the pool, courtyard, and gym. If you want to live in a dorm for successful ²⁷⁄₂₈ year olds & rich trust fund babies, this is it. Expect to hear all that goes on in a dorm after hours Thursday — Sunday. Bar Louie is across the street and you can hear the bar at night.
Leasing Agent: My experience is unfortunate because Greco has a great reputation and many great properties. The leasing agent that showed me the floor plans was unfamiliar with the property (Spring 2013) and he was VERY unresponsive. Delayed follow up to phone calls and no response to email. He also completely flopped on the terms on my lease. It was never reviewed by him. He collected the incorrect amount of Deposit as well, then later I was «surprised» by an audit stating I owed more. I never saw him or heard from him 2 months after I moved in. So I assume he was fired
On Site Management: Although they are all pretty and very kind, they are better drinking buddies than anything else. Greco (property management company) nickel and dimes you for everything. EVERYTHING. Read your lease carefully as there are many stipulations and rarely are exceptions made. My move out experience (Spring 2014) was not only unfair but down right rude after leasing with them for 12 months. No respect or sense of gratitude. Took every penny of my security deposit with no negotiation.
OVERALL: Great place to meet young, good looking, and well established professionals. The property knows this and takes advantage of that. I would live her again, but only if the property management would stay the hell out of my way. They are a joke.

NYC transplant – love the open floor plan of my apartment and the quality of the amenities (the gym is fantastic). The residents are friendly and the concierge hosted events are an easy way to get to know them. Aaroosh is a wonderfully helpful agent and made my move here seamless by sending me videos of the apartment choices, sending all of my lease documentation electronically and helping me make sure everything was set up appropriately at move in. There is still work to be finished on the grounds but I am sure they will look wonderful at completion.

Good management and beautiful apartments. The building is still being built but the units that are available are well laid out, have luxury appliances, and quality fixtures. The soundproofing is terrible. Hopefully this will be addressed by the builders and management very soon as my patience is wearing thin.
