Place is nice. Management has some room for improvement.
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.
Property Manager Responded: Thank you for this fantastic review! The team appreciates your feedback and we are so happy you are enjoying your time at The Grove at Mankato. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you. Thank you.

July 2023 Move-in
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.
Property Manager Responded: Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback about your experience with us. We have many apartments with in unit laundry so keep us posted if you have an interest in moving to one.

Horrible
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
Property Manager Responded: We are disappointed to hear that you did not have a more positive experience with us at The Grove at Mankato. Being new management we are working on building improvements throughout the community. We also make sure that all residents are offered the chance to renew prior to their apartments becoming available to rent. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will use your comments to refine our efforts to ensure this issue does not happen again.

Search live active!! They changed the name for a reason
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.
Property Manager Responded: Hi, we work hard to provide a fantastic experience to everyone and since becoming new management are really working to make a new positive environment for our residents. It's discouraging to see that you had a negative one. We'd like the opportunity to discuss this with you but without knowing who you are it is more difficult. Please reach out to us at (507) 625-2787 at your earliest convenience to discuss your concerns with us.
