Northside Artspace Lofts — Attraction in Minneapolis

I loved this place when I first moved here. Being the first in an apartment is amazing. But I do not recommend this place!! Now that I am ready to move, I am being harassed about who’s in my place. Never had a violation, paid my rent on time every month and more. Here’s what has happened while living here;

My packages were stolen from the package room that is fob access. When I went to management the only thing she told me to do was send my packages somewhere else. Thank god I had somewhere else to send them, but what the heck? Imagine being from out of town and being told this….

My kids father watch my kids while I go to work, my property manager has asked for proof that he does not live here. I give her everything that she asked for and she tells me that it’s not sufficient, I mean I gave this lady lease agreement, even his landlords number, his chime account that also shows the address to where he lives (which she said because it’s editable it doesn’t qualify) and she’s still trying to violate me. My kids father doesn’t have a key, we are a fobbed access building and I only have one fob, I’ve given proof of his residence and she is still trying to violate me. Then the bad thing about it, she’s trying to violate me for him riding an hoover board down the hallway in 2023. It’s a whole new year and almost a new one after that! Any lawyers see this send help!!! Everything is in text messages.

My kids and I race down the hallway when we come home as long as no one is in the hall. My Neighbor thinks it’s okay to come in the hallway whenever my kids and I are to loud for her liking. She has literally asked us to be quiet because we are enticing her dog… Which is never during quiet hours. And when I moved in, being that this is an artist space we were told that we can be loud during the day, not that my kids over do it. But even if my 1 yr old is crying she feels the need to ask us to be quiet, while that was until I told her to mind her business but that’s neither here nor there. The last situation took place on 7/7/24 at 6pm.

I cleaned out some of my kids old toys and left them on a banister, the office texted me and told me that this isn’t a “donation Center.” Only for the toys to end up in the lobby where community and future residents wait. I’m not even offered by her telling me not to leave things it’s the approach. Then only for them to be used in the apartment. SMH

I’ve contacted homeline on my apartment and they have told me that what I have provided to my place of residence is enough/ sufficient, my kids father and his landlord are going to notary his lease agreement, and I bet she still tell me this isn’t enough. I can add more but what’s the point. I just hope to help the next single mother from being harassed because people aren’t used to seeing black people co-parent. What some people are used to can be different. I literally work, and not one job. Not that I feel the need to express this but I take care of my kids and this is how we support each other. Sorry that chasing dreams look different to other people but it sucks so bad that I am being violated for being dependant on my kids father to take care of his kids in their home rather then where he rents a room! All over a one time hoover board ride down the hallway. I can’t make this up!

Photo of the violation added… Also, I’m curious as to how she can tell me who I can and can’t have in my apartment? He watches my kids while I am at work and now you’re telling me that he can’t do this? Is this not disrupting my job? After looking over the old handbook and if all of this situations except for 7/7/24, happened before I signed my new lease and there was nothing about motorized toys in there, how is there a violation if it has not happened again?

The space is in a wonderful community and they are very nice for the price, my other neighbors give a great sense of community. Get rid of a few wrinkles it would honestly be the perfect place to live.

I really enjoy this place. The management knows what they are doing. They are on top of it all even though they get pulled between properties. Whatever we need, they make it happen and fair to everyone. I highly recommend this place. There's a gallery here, workspace for artist, a sound room, and an events room. Compared to other places in town, parking is...

Kristen at Northside Art Space Lofts has been amazing! I did a unit transfer and she has been so flexible and understanding and extremely helpful. I would recommend anyone to live here. Lizzie has also been very sweet and helpful! The whole staff and community has made me feel supported and safe. The environment is...
