The Grove at Mankato

The amenities and unit is really really nice. I enjoy my 1-bedroom so much. The maintenance staff are friendly and work fast even during holidays. However, the application process is a bit slow in my opinion. I did not get any updates about the application status unless I emailed or called the management. I also feel like I pay so many fees so many times (more than 2). It's kind of frustrating and tiring. Other apartments are not like this. The fitness is nice. I just wish they had a Smith machine there. The clubhouse is nice as well.

We moved in July 18th, and so far it's been ok, a few hiccups. Would have loved to have laundry within our unit, but maybe down the road we'll upgrade and get a nicer unit.

Their apartments are slowly falling apart, trying to communicate with the management is virtually impossible, and they gave my unit away without any notice. Would not recommend at all

Live Active or as they have rebranded The Grove at Mankato, is a complex that only has one to two good apartment buildings. After that you can find apartment buildings that are decaying, poorly maintained, and not sanitary. There's several reports of black mold found in several apartments, flooding happening in my specific apartment and just overall poor management. They probably needed to change the name to get more people in because their original Google star ratings is at about 2/5. If you're down for paying a little bit more than what you get then you would love living here. Not recommended unless you have to live here. Anytime I've called in to have certain things taken care of I am told that it'll be fixed and nothing's ever done. Oftentimes I'm hung up on or told that I need to stop complaining. If that's what you want to landlord then this place is perfect. They've responded to reviews and say they'll get back to people but they never do and they don't fix their problems.

The rooms are spacious, reasonably priced, and equipped with modern amenities. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in Mankato.

JAMIE, KAIT, AND TRACY. Thank you. I’ve lived in Live Active before, and it wasn’t perfect. I came back to Live Active because my boyfriend insisted on it. I’m so glad he did. Our keys didn’t work, our AC didn’t work, and we were SWEATY with an unlocked door while moving. But Kait made sure we got our new keys SO FAST. It was so fast. Thank you. And Jamie told me (about the AC), “We are so sorry, but we moved you to a priority, top of the list, and reminded them that your apartment is 90° so it can’t wait.” Would we have survived? Yes. But I’m telling you I’ve never sweat so much in my life. And the next day there was a temporary AC unit. Then 3 days later a maintenance team came out and fixed our AC for the whole apartment. I’m so grateful that Jamie didn’t just tell us she was doing something, she actually was doing something to help us. I can’t thank that office team enough, and of course the maintenance team!!! Tracy gets a shout out because she assured me that it was all getting taken care of (twice) and talked me through what was going on. On top of everything else, I get emails back super fast and I feel like everyone is on my team. I love this place.
