The Paxon

The Paxon claims that it «takes its name from the Latin word Pax, meaning ‘peace’. And true to its name, it offers you a comforting and peaceful urban oasis at the edge of downtown’s North Loop neighborhood.»
What the building actually offers is a lot closer to a badly run college dorm. Noise, noise, noise. I don’t mean normal noise levels. This is shouting and whooping at the pool and other outdoor areas that go on for hours into the night and outdoor speakers that echo off the walls … and every sound is amplified by the building’s poor design.
This is not a peaceful oasis, and it’s not sophisticated urban living. There are a lot of choices for downtown living. I would not recommend the Paxon at all.
UPDATE: Regarding Jay Hanson’s reply, the Paxon has in no way attempted to mitigate the noise problem. They had to hire a security firm to monitor their own property, but the security is a joke. The police, a Crime Prevention Specialist, our city council member, environmental noise specialists, etc., have all become involved in the problem, wasting the taxpayers’ money and misdirecting city resources, but the Paxon still has done nothing of any substance to fix the problem. Every weekend, all night long, all summer long, NOISE. If Jay, Paxon management, and Lincoln Properties were serious about being a positive part of the North Loop, they would’ve resolved their noise problem early last summer.

If you’re looking for a luxury apartment with a young, professional crowd, look no further. When I was first looking into this area, I saw a host of negative reviews online, generally around noise complaints and staffing. I’d like to dispel those two rumors here — with today’s cookie-​cutter apartment buildings, noise will be a concern at ANY new building. The crowd is younger, so expect people to socialize. I enjoy how friendly everyone is and willing to invite me to join. Not knowing anyone in the area, it meant a lot to me to have that experience. With regard to staffing, realize that staffing companies change. I have had my share of good and bad concierges, and Carly at the Paxon is fantastic. As always, a review online is never as good as seeing it in person. Go visit and see if its for you! Being able to walk to a Timberwolves and Twins game at night after working downtown was a great selling point for me!

I would not recommend this Apartment to anyone, very uncourteous reception by management staff and manager. Never bothered to responded upon several calls about my application and after refused to refund application fee.
