Silos Apartments

Building has terrible management along with never keeping the common areas clean does not make the price of rent worth it

I am one of the very few tenants who made the terrible mistake of trusting Atwood Management and moving into the Silos Apartments. When I initially moved in, I found that my brand-new apartment had noticeable damage. The floor has many stains and scrapes, the particle wood base boards have marks all over them and one of them is already falling apart, one of the doors has deep scrapes, and the supposedly new toilet has brown stains in it which I cannot seem to get rid of. If I left a unit in this condition, I would surely not get my deposit back. Apparently, it is acceptable for Atwood and the contractors to leave a unit in this condition. Additionally, there is dried paint on the floor, windows, sink, doorknobs, and pretty much everywhere else. It looks like the painters were blindfolded. When I brought this up to Atwood Management and requested to cancel my lease, I was told by Brandon that he would not cancel my lease as the apartment was not “unlivable.” That pretty much tells you everything you need to know about Atwood Management: The bar for an apartment that they marketed as luxury is so low, that as long as it is “livable,” it is acceptable. Brandon told me that the damages were not Atwood Management’s fault, so they would not fix them. He did however promise to contact the contractors who sloppily worked on my unit. I was told that he would try to get the contractors to come and fix the issues, and I should hear back from Atwood within the week. I never heard from Brandon or the contractors. To top it off, we cannot receive mail at these “luxury” apartments. Atwood chose to allow tenants to move in before they considered mail delivery. All mail and packages get diverted because postal workers do not have a way to access the building. I was told that this issue would eventually be fixed, but that they do not know when and there is not timeline for when we will be able to receive mail. We have mailboxes in the lobby, but they are apparently just for show. Let this sink in: WE CANNOT RECEIVE MAIL OR PACKAGES IN THIS COMPLEX. To Atwood Management, if you are reading this, I will happily take this review down if you fix the issues that you have assured me you would correct. To potential renters, if this review is still up, it is because Atwood Management has not corrected the many issues, and the Silos Apartments still have many “livable,” yet unacceptable, issues.

I toured this building, and it's stunning. Beautiful, modern kitchens and a rooftop patio, which is rare in Mankato.
