Beautiful apartments and a very helpful and knowledgeable manager. There are many lovely amenities here, like a movie theater room, fitness room with fab equipment and a gorgeous gathering room with gourmet kitchen and adjacent dining for those celebrations just a bit too big for one's apartment! Everything is decorated very woodsy and serene, and everywhere was immaculately clean!

Nice 55+ building in a convenient location. They are pretty good to my dad there, even though he is not always a model tenant. He lives off of disability so the section 42 status helps him afford an updated, safe place loaded with amenities. The Grainwood really stepped up and helped him turn his outlook around after his condo burned down and left him with nowhere to live and no possessions. Thanks to all the staff who put up with him and who call me to gently let me know what's going on with him. I feel very good about my dad living at The Grainwood. They really go out of their way to understand the needs of their tenants.

Love it! BEAUTIFUL apartment, great management and staff (CJ and Donnie are the best!) reasonable prices. I have lived in Grainwood in for 2 years. Just moved from a 1 bedroom to a 3 bedroom. They are quiet and clean. Impeccable! My first time living in an apartment and I love it! I highly recommend it!

My favorite things I like about this place are: my apartment has lots of windows so I get a lot of sunlight, then I like the maintenance crew. There was a change in the maintenance team a while ago and CJ started working here. His attitude is great and hes very welcoming to all the residents. He also responds to maintenance requests very quickly.

We are starting on our third year here at Grainwood and I would say things are going good. Our first year we had a few complaints but it has steadily gotten better. Malia has been a god send since day one. She has helped me with ever complaint or problem I have had. She is always courteous and helpful. This year we got a new manager Ranell and I think she has been a great addition. CJ was added to the team and has brought joy and sunshine wherever he goes. He is helpful and kind and takes great care of our needs and goes above and beyond. I am happier now that there are more activities to do and I have gotten to meet a lot of the residents. Every place has its up and downs like rent increases BUT I enjoy living here at Grainwood.

The property is great and very quiet! Moving home in 2018 and moving to Grainwood Senior Living was the right choice for me. There are many activities if you are want to join and they keep the property in top shape. I love that my apartment was new when I moved in and immediately felt like home. I recommend this community to anyone 55 and over! All the staff is great to work with.

If I didnt know better, I would think I was the only one living here.....its so quiet! My apartment is clean, open, windows, a small deck and plenty of closet space. Two closets actually, one in the entry and a walk in in the bedroom, washer and dryer and all necessary kitchen appliances. Heated underground garage available, storage locker available and they even allow my spoiled cat. But heres the best part. My microwave went on the fritz this weekend so I made a maintenance request Today, Monday, CJ appeared and fixed it. Hes a pleasant guy and he made sure he did not leave a mess. I couldnt be happier with a place to live.

My daughter and have lived here a year and a half. We both need walkers and it is so easy to get around. The staff is great! They are very willing to listen. We love it that it is smoke free as we have allergies. The residents are able to have gatherings so we have a weekly potluck every Friday. We have had holiday parties. The card and crafts room is used a lot. If we need repairs, it is prompt response. This year we formed a gardening group to plant in the patio area. It is great because it is raised beds so we dont have to get down on our knees. We have a movie twice a month as well. Everything is convenient. We didnt give it five stars because the rent has gone up twice since we have been here. But to be fair, it is still lower than other apartments that are this nice. Our problem is that Social Security doesnt give us a COLA to match the rising costs of housing everywhere. The owner has done a lot to get feedback on what we like and dont like. We appreciate that.

I could not be happier living at the Grainwood Apartments! My apartment is bight with large windows. Love the balcony. Large closets. Washer dryer. Amenities are wonderful and the building is beautiful. Very quiet day and night. Lots of activities. Within walking distance of Prior Lake library, a bakery and a brewery. Friendly neighbors, some have become friends. Onsite management, Malia and Ranell, are available and always helpful. The maintenance team, CJ and Donny, are the very best! I love living here, its home, and plan to stay a long time!
