Ā I have lived here one year. I am really happy we chose this apartment building as opposed to something closer to Minneapolis. There are a few express buses on 7th/Excelsior and 7th/Main that run during rush hour, which is a huge plus for commuters. Living within walking distance to the budget theater, the library, grocery, and restaurants is great. There are a lot of children living in the complex, but it is typically a quiet apartment and I rarely hear our neighbors (unless they are in the hallway or outside with the windows open). It’s true that the apartments do have some dated features (our carpeting and plumbing fixtures could use some updating), but it makes up for it with large closets and rooms. The biggest drawback was when we moved in, that our apartment smelled like smoke from the previous tenants. Hopkins Plaza offered to shampoo our carpets again, which is a nice gesture but not particularly helpful (shampooing doesn’t get out smoke smell out of carpeting– baking soda, vacuuming, airing out, washing walls, and time is what worked for us). That is the only major annoyance I can think of. Overall, I would recommend this apartment.

Hopkins Plaza: Excellent Common Area, Great Management, Good Neighbors
It is a great value for the money. Other complexes in the area are considerably more expensive for what I’m getting. The units are perhaps a bit dated, but if that isn’t high on your priority list, then it’s definitely worth consideration. The closet space, layout and features are great and the maintenance and upkeep is fantastic.
Century North: It’s Awesome Here
They repair things fast. They do not charge for things they shouldn’t. It is kept nice here.
Century North: THE BEST EVER
This is my first apartment and It has been the best experience EVER! For a subsidized apartment building the staff are great, the maintenance fix everything very quickly, the neighbors are friendly and it is just a great apartment building to live in. But watch out for the deer, they are everywhere at night! š
Century North: Mostly a Nice Place to Live
Most of the residents are good people. I feel safe. It’s a wonderful place for single parents, the elderly and families down on their luck.

Century North: I Love It Here
This is the only low income housing that actually repairs things and doesn’t try to charge you for it. They have actually updated things here. Parking is an issue in only that other residents, or their visitors think because your space is empty they can use it. Putting a note on the car, giving the office a call and telling them their is a car in the space, takes care of it. But then again someone parks there again later. And nothing can be done but for you to put a note on a weekend. This makes it a problem when my guests want to use my space.
