Boasting an eclectic local culture that combines the best elements of Midwestern personality and metropolitan sophistication, Minneapolis has built a solid reputation as one of the most interesting and exciting cities in the region, and indeed the entire nation. A vibrant urban center in the land of 10,000 lakes, Minneapolis enjoys well-earned attention for its stress-free atmosphere, great bicycling trails, and culturally diverse population. The city’s robust economy has deep roots, with numerous major companies having operated corporate headquarters in the city for decades (in some cases a century or more). In spite of being a major economic hub, the city is full of surprisingly affordable apartments, condos, and rental homes.
If you live in Downtown, getting around in winter is never a problem thanks to the skyway system.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Property Ratings at Lake West on France
With the proximity to Saint Louis park and Lake Bde, one would assume it is a safe area. That is far from the case. There is no security despite the numerous car jackings and break ins. Management has been “working” on finding a security company for the past 10 months. The surface level (free) parking lot is also located around a blind turn causing accidents in the winter. The apartment itself is decent. There is decent living space but the kitchen is quite small. The building is also OLD. We have had several things break that required maintenance to fix. The heat doesn’t get warm enough in the winter and we relied heavily on a space heater. The AC works in the living room but doesn’t spread to the bedroom. The amenities are only open during business hours so don’t expect to be able to hit the gym or take the kids to the pool after work. For the price point of this apartment, I wasn’t expecting anything luxurious but I at least expected to feel safe (which I do not).
Property Manager at Lake West on France, Responded To This Review
Hello, I appreciate you sharing your experience at Lake West on France. I want to speak with you directly to address the concerns raised in your review. As the new property manager, I want to assure you that we don't take these issues lightly. Please give me a call to discuss this further 612.925.4191.
For the cost of rent (around 600$ a month for a 2 bedroom) this apartment is definitely just "Okay." First of all its location is a couple of blocks from Lake Calhoun which is really nice when it's nice out but its not exactly walking distance to uptown unless you have plenty of time to kill. You can use the gym and pool in the main building but only during office hours which can be a little bit of a set back for some people. On another note it was a little off putting to see how lackluster they were about cleaning out our apartment after the old tenants moved out. Upon moving in we found dirty dishes in the oven and a full medicine cabinet in the bathroom. This doesn't make the apartment worse but it illustrates how efficient management must be. Overall, for a 2 bedroom apartment in the basement you get what you pay for.
You can't beat the location of this apartment. It is within walking distance to some really great restaurants, grocery stores, and convenience stores. Lake Calhoun is less than half a mile away and only a mile or so into the heart of Uptown. The staff is great, professional and handle any issues right away.
