I agree that this is a hidden gem. Everything is handled online and it works! I have never had a problem with management or maintenance responding to me. The rent is very reasonable. I don't know if any other apartment this newly done for this price. As far as utilities it was very clear from the start. Electric in tenant name. Water. Sewer and gas billed with rent. Neither of which are high by any means. Also to address snow removal. It has always been done before I go to work, two winters in a row without a problem. I also have not had problems with noise. Not only does it have a dog run, they also give waste bags to clean up after 4 legged friends! That truly is pet friendly. Everyone has always been professional and respectful. I recommend this to anyone. Don't listen to the hater.

I had a great experience renting at the Cobalt’s! One of the only AFFORDABLE rent prices in Rochester, MN. My unit was updated and spacious! I lived here for 2+ years by myself. The property mgmt team communicates via email, which was different than what I was used to, but it actually worked out well! They leave you alone! Also their payment portal online made it easy to manage my rent payments as you’re able to pay rent in advance. Maria was very prompt answering every email (sometimes even late at night), and Chris was great as well when it came to any maintenance requests. Just good people who treat you like a person! They also gave me back most of my deposit when I honestly thought I wouldn’t be seeing any return. The neighborhood was safe, despite people being wary to this side of town—I often left my vehicle unlocked, and never had any issues! (Although, I obviously don’t recommend doing this) These apartments have everything you need, without the amenities you don’t need and pay extra for. In-unit laundry, central air, dishwasher, stainless steel appliances, TONS of storage space, parking, pet friendly! Honestly a little hidden gem! Can’t say enough good things! :)
