  I lived at Mallard Creek from May 2020 to October 2024 and had a great experience. The apartments and common areas are kept clean and updated. Neighbors are quiet and friendly. There is a locked package room—often times carriers don’t do a great job at putting the packages in the package room, but I have never had anyone take my stuff (and I buy a LOT of stuff). The heated, underground parking is really safe and convenient. Also abundant lot parking. Management is ok—I didn’t reach out to them often, but whenever I attempted to I rarely ever got a hold of anyone the first try. Maintenance is great; they’re quick and efficient and typically requests get done within a few days. During winter time, they do a great job at getting the lot and sidewalks plowed. The fitness room and pool were not great. They’re both very small. But, if you’re not big on utilizing those, it’s not a big deal. For full transparency, I will also add that if you live in the apartments facing the medical buildings, winter time can be a pain. When it snows, plowers are in that lot ALLL NIGHT (it seems). It’s super noisy and can be hard to sleep. Overall, I’d say mallard creek was a wonderful place to call home! I would recommend.

  The property is very nice and the apartments are mostly nice. The pool is a nice feature, but it isn't designed for swimming, more for just relaxing. Free storage and parking spot is pretty awesome. Underground parking is nice, but very tight. Very hard for larger vehicles to get in and park. The bedrooms do not have lights in them, so you'll need additional light fixtures. That being said - The management here is the reason for the 2 stars. A lot of this is with the parent company Bigos Management. Over the time of living here, management has been slowly removing all the "amenities included with rent" and freedom to live in the apartment as you were promised. There are far more "inspections" than I've ever had living in other apartment complexes. A friend of ours who rents at another Bigos complex in the same area does not have the same number of inspections. The baseboard heating is trash here. Coldest apartment I've ever been in when heat is set to max during winter. They do the absolute bare minimum on package receiving, although I do know that this isn't 100% their fault. Your packages will often be left in common areas or even outside the locked door, so anyone could steal your packages - and we did have this happen. I'd suggest getting a PO Box if you purchase a lot online for delivery. Lease is treated as ironclad so be sure to note all the dates you need to have stuff done or when your lease ends as they won't budge on anything. As for fellow tenants, the complex offers carts for tenants, but everyone hogs them so don't rely on being to use them. Tenants also just drop garbage and recycling outside of the garbage dumpsters and so it won't be removed and it all just sits. Our floor reeked of pot on a daily basis - not against the use, but the smell is awful. However, when talking/meeting with other tenants has been great. The rent here is also now on par of paying a mortgage. If you can afford to rent here, then I suggest you look into buying a home instead. Utility costs that you pay for don't get out of hand, so nothing is over-using resources that you pay for - minus AC units, but this expected.

  This is a fantastic place to live! Quiet, quality building with great amenities, and responsive and efficient maintenance/office staff. Only downfall is having been on the wait list for several years for an underground parking spot due to low turnover.

  Lived at Mallard Creek in 2017. Excellent experience. Quiet and private for an apartment so close to Minneapolis. Excellent service from everyone who works for Mallard. I never had one issue that wasn't handled in a timely manner. I would recommend to anyone looking for an apartment in the West Metro.
