Dakota Commercial

Had a great experience living in this apartment! The property manager is incredibly kind and approachable, always ready to assist with any concerns or questions. They make sure everything runs smoothly and are genuinely invested in the well-being of the residents. It's refreshing to have a manager who is not only professional but also friendly and easy to talk to!

We've had a wonderful experience living in this apartment, thanks to our amazing property manager. They are always kind, approachable, and willing to help with any concerns we have. Whether it's a maintenance request or just a simple inquiry, they respond quickly and professionally. It truly makes a difference to have a property manager who cares about the residents. Highly recommend this place!

I have rented from Dakota Commercial numerous times since 2009 and every time they have been great to work with. In the latest occasions, we rented at The Beacon and were there when it transferred management to Dakota Commercial. Heather Kurtz and their whole crew were great to work with in every interaction we had with them. Those buildings are in good hands with this company to make sure the whole property finally hits the finish line, and I'm sure tenants will enjoy working Heather and crew as they are very accommodating and wonderful to work with.

The Hyslop at Memorial Village is comfortable, clean, safe, and quiet. There are great amenities and the property management staff is super friendly and helpful!

It's a nice and cozy area to be in, the neighbors are kind and the building manager is absolutely fantastic. I would recommend to people looking for a place to move

I could not be happier with my experience with Dakota Commercial. I was moving from Washington to North Dakota so I had plenty that I needed to get arranged before I could leave. The property manager for my new apartment building, Heather Kurtz, has been extremely lovely and helpful with every step in this process. Could not recommend this company more than I already do.

I live at 1923 at The Beacon in Grand Forks with Heather Kurtz as my property manager. I could not say enough good things about her or our home. We moved in right when Dakota took over this property when the previous company left it, and it was the biggest blessing! They had SO MUCH on their plates with the turnover at that time, but they handled it like champs and were truly the best, always making us feel like a priority. Dakota Commercial, specifically Heather, are so accommodating, easy to reach, and completely on top of things. Anytime a mild issue has come up, Heather has jumped right to it. She is the also one of the sweetest humans you will ever meet. We are so lucky to have her! We love our place so much, and have enjoyed every second of being here!

The view from our (gigantic) windows is amazing, we have updated appliances, nice flooring, a trash chute, a gym, and the option for underground parking, all in the heart of downtown, where most everything you need is within walking distance. It is also a pet friendly building, and our puppy LOVES to run around in the huge field we have. This place is truly awesome.

I can’t wait to see what this place will become with how much potential it has with the ground floor and area between the buildings, because we know it’s in good hands!

We appreciate you so much, Heather!

Dakota commercial is the most fee hungry apartment rental organizations I’ve ever worked with. Do not do business with them via credit card, they will charge you $40+ to use it upon application and $200+ if you decide to find a new location after making your deposit; even if you cancel within the 72 hour “grace period.” Horrible rental company. Note: this review is coming from a 25+ year professional relocating to Grand Forks. Buyer Beware!

Dakota Commerical has been a great company to work with so far! Heather has been amazing at answering all our questions and and made the transition into our new home an easy process. They were also quick to answer our initial maintenance requests upon move in.

Apartment itself was good for our college girls. Move out was not. We spent 12 hours a person and there was 6 of us to clean and get the walls in order so like 72 hours total. But did we get our full deposit back? No. Per Dakotah it was an additional 5 hours to clean and $200+ to touch up wall paint. I asked for supporting details but they WOULDN’T send it. They also would not return my call. Detailed support is required per the contract but nope Dakotah can be in breach of their contract!! If we were in breach that would be another story. If you rent from them get your deposit back on move out and take a video. Would NEVER, NEVER rent from them again.

Dakota Commercial has been great so far. I just moved in and this is my first time moving into an apartment. The university flats building has great amenities such as built in wash and dryer, nice appliances, a community room, exercise room and more. They made the moving process very straight forward. Everyone at the leasing office is great to work with, and especially our property manager Emma.

I am new to North Dakota and I can say that the ladies here have helped and were very nice I will recommend this apartment complex to anybody

Lived at Northern Heights for six months and it was great. Honestly can't beat the price for size and location. Definitely the best price you'll pay for in this town.

Rented from through them at university flats. They were very helpful and had good maintenance. The building was kept very nice.

Great place ! Excellent Staff Members always so kind & helpful! I’ve been renting from them for two years never any issues!

Lived at university flats in downtown Grand Forks, and it was great! Nice well maintained apartment with heated underground parking, fitness center, and community room. Amanda and the other workers in the office were all kind, professional, and willing to help. Never had much issues with my apartment but if I did it would be handled immediately. I would definitely rent from them again, and am hoping to rent their new building close to UND when my current lease is up.

The staff at DC is truly amazing! I've never seen a rental company that truly cares about their tenants like they do!

The move in process at University Flats was very easy! Amanda the property manager is very friendly and very helpful!

Probably the best company I've rented from. Maintenance has always been there next day when needed and friendly. Office staff has been great. Even got a choice of free apartment upgrades when I renewed my lease. Office is communicative when needed (i.e. building-wide maintenance, staff vacation notices, etc.). Highly recommend!

I lived at Campus Place II for over four years and loved it. The reasons I stayed were the good community, communication, and location to campus. Tammy and Maggie are great at what they do, and very responsive to inquiries. Any maintenance issues were taken care of (dirty AC last summer was replaced with a new model, brand new sink sprayer, ceiling fan added) and they upgraded my unit with new features every time I renewed my lease. Apartment hallways were well kept. Dogs are allowed on the property so be aware if you can't take any barking. Most of the time it wasn't an issue though. I lived in the top floor which I recommend. Rarely did I hear my neighbors on either side. The in-unit laundry was also a plus. Sad to be leaving the complex, but it is a great place to live!

Campus Place apartments are clean and spacious. The complex is well-maintained and maintenance requests are completed quickly and done right.

What really sets this apartment complex apart, however, is the exceptional management team of Tammy and Maggie. These two are incredibly friendly, professional and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure their residents are happy. They are quick to respond to concerns and are always happy to help with any questions or issues that arise.

I would highly recommend this apartment complex to anyone looking for a great place to call home. With beautiful apartments, close to campus, and a top-notch management team, it's truly one of the best places to live in Grand Forks. Thank you Tammy and Maggie for all the hard work you all do!

Came to the office in need of assistance. They arrived at a solution providing staff, who solved my problem with grace and efficiency. (I had dropped my keys accidently into a dumpster.)

I have lived in two properties managed by Dakota Commercial and have nothing but positive things to say. Matt B. is an incredible property manager, who is thorough and kind. Maintenance requests are taken care of in a timely manner. They are willing to work with you, and are personable.

Though my daughter hasn’t moved in to her Pure North apartment quite yet, working with Matt and Heather has been EASY! They’ve been so helpful, kind, and professional! She’s very excited to move in and make it “her own!” I’m so happy she’ll be in a new, safe, bright apartment!

We had a great experience working with Duane Wages and Dakota Home. Duane helped us navigate a difficult sales process as we worked to sell our longtime family home in Grand Forks. Duane was professional, patient, knowledgeable and made the entire sales process as effortless as possible. I would recommend Duane and Dakota Home to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Just moved in last week to our apart ent and and enjoying our time here. Highly recommend working with Amanda as well.

Dakota Commercial has been a great apartment leasing service in my experience. The location of Campus Place Apartments is great with a short walk to campus. The package delivery and leasing services have been great. I have had no major issues with my apartment and minor issues were fixed promptly by the Dakota Commercial Staff. One of the best features in my opinion is the reserved parking spaces which makes the walks out to the car a whole lot easier in the winter months.

I've never rented an apartment before, but the people here were very helpful in getting everything sorted out. I was also pleasantly surprised at the outdoor maintenance and the peace and quiet in the middle of a busy part of town.

The management is very polite and personable, however the lack of ethernet ports makes connecting to the internet from any of the rooms difficult.

The people that are in the administration building are very polite and understanding. When it comes to internet, the amount of ethernet ports isn't really compatible for more than two people unless you have cords running throughout the entire apartment.

Nice apartment, good price, good customer service. My one complaint is that the online rent-pay site is kind of clunky and they don't take cash rent payments.

The office staff were very nice and helpful when I brought up any questions and concerns about my initial move in. They responded quickly to my maintenance request and I’m otherwise very satisfied with the overall condition and experience of my apartment.

Horrible Management!! Was at Lumber exchange, was told multiple times before moving in about quiet hour and it was never followed!! 3-4 complaints were submitted but management never did anything about it!! The noise was so loud and the cops came 3 times in one night couldn’t get the tenant to turn down their radio contacted management about the situation and it feel on deaf ears! Moved in it was dirty and when I moved out cleaned for hours and was charged $35 an hour for 2 hours to clean a Studio apartment! Don’t waste your time with this company!

The application process was pretty smooth. The staff was very quick to respond to my emails when I had questions on any steps of the process. With your application I should note, you have to put the down payment in right then and there. Apartment itself is very nice!

So far it has been great! The rooms are amazing and the the staff are very friendly. The campus place community is respectful to one another, and I have had no problem meeting new people here. It’s an awesome place!

Matt and the team at Dakota Commercial know how to take care of you! I've lived in Opera House for 3 years and the only reason I left is because I'm moving out of the state, or I'd probably live there forever.
They always have the friendliest maintenance crew to come and take care of any issue you may have and they do it quickly!
We haven't done our formal check out so I can't attest to the cost they charge at that time like some other reviewers.

This company is awful! No one in their office communicates. 1. I had maintenance guys come into my unit without warning several times, which I stated on my account would never be an option because I have dogs and I don’t keep them in crates when I’m not home. Not only that, they came into the house when I was asleep, which is completely inappropriate because it made me feel uncomfortable as a women. 2. When I submitted my 60 days notice, the company would show my unit and not give me 24 hours notice or tell me if showings got canceled. Again, I have dogs, so I had to make sure that we’re out of the house so we didn’t disturb them. 3. When I moved in I submitted a move in report which had pictures of everything wrong with the unit. This included several pictures of the carpet being torn up from the floor. When I moved out, they charged me for them having to replace the carpet blaming it on my pets, which know for a fact that my pets had nothing to do with it because I had the floor professionally steam cleaned for $600.00. This company used my pets as an excuse to fix a problem they didn’t want to pay for! When I brought this up, they said “well you had an unauthorized pet,” which is incorrect because I submitted my application with both pets as well as paid a higher pet deposit and double pet rent! This company is a joke and will stop at nothing to charge tenants for issues that are the company’s responsibility. Also, Kris Hatten doesn’t do his job, he doesn’t communicate, doesn’t call back, doesn’t answer emails. I had to email him and call him several times just to get an answer to a question. Also, he has an attitude when you try to talk to him and he makes things up, so I don’t trust him because he’s a liar. Don’t rent with this company. I’ve worked in property management for years and this is not how you treat good tenants that literally paid their rent on time every month. This company is awful! There are other company’s in the area that are 10000x better!

I've been in MN Heights for about 6 months. Pros: price for what you get (plan for at least $100 utilities added plus renter's insurance), the administration, the rent payment process, the maintenance is EXCELLENT. The location is wonderful for walking around downtown. Con: f you're on the side above the parking lots, facing the train tracks, expect noise--from snow plows beeping in the winter in the VFW parking lot, and the train honking in the summer. If you're someone who keeps your windows open in the summer, try to get a unit that doesn't face the parking lot because the train will definitely wake you up. Or invest in some good earplugs. Other than that, I'm really happy with what I have. My neighbors are very friendly, the parking lot is well lit, and the security systems are excellent.

Every single member of the staff at dakota commercial genuinely cares about all of the residents in their buildings. Whether it’s needing late-night emergency maintenance or finding a great home, you feel like you’re actually being helped by someone that truly cares. I’d recommend that anyone rents through dakota commercial!

My husband had a four month lease at Desoto Apartments for a travel nurse contract. He was verbally told by staff that it would be a 30 days notice if he needed to move out early. His travel nurse contract was ended by the hospital early due to low census and over staffing. We are now being charged for a full 60 days rent after the date he gave notice, in addition to them retaining a large portion of the security deposit for cleaning and other fees, and I assure you the apartment was not dirty. My husband only slept there between 12 hour shifts. Meanwhile my husband was out of work for over a month due to the changing climate of travel nursing with the vastly decreased numbers of covid 19 patients. I have been the only income during this time and we have 5 children. I explained this to the rental office and they don’t care. The unit was also re-rented before the end of the 60 day period, so basically they are charging us and the new tenants rent for the same unit for the same time period, which I perceive as highly unethical. If I could give zero stars I would.

Edit: Upon clarifying with my husband, he and his roommate did not sign a new 4 month lease when their travel nurse contract was extended. They merely gave notice to a staff member that their contract was extended and they would like to stay for an additional 4 month period. Therefore first of all there was not even a valid lease at the time my husband and his roommate gave notice and moved out. Second of all what I understand you saying from your response is that the current tenants are not paying rent until the end of my husband’s 60 day notice period but that you are instead charging my husband and his roommate for a period of time that they were not living at the property. While I do not have detailed knowledge of ND property law, that is obviously unethical. It also sounds suspicious to me, and if as I suspect you are actually collecting rent from both my husband and his roommate and the new tenants for the same time period, that is obviously illegal.

I also suggest that anyone looking to rent from Dakota Commercial take all the positive reviews with a grain of salt. My husband was contacted not once but multiple times after he first moved in to the unit asking him to write a positive review and telling him he would get free pizza if he left a positive review.

Best experience I've ever had renting an apartment! And I've been renting for 20+ years! Heather showed me the property and I instantly felt comfortable. She made my day with her super friendly personality! And Kris the super nice guy he was went above and beyond with helping me through the application process in a timely manner. Amazing crew at Dakota Commercial. As long as I'm in Grand Forks I won't be renting from any other business. Thank you!

Great staff and a great environment to live in… super quiet place so its nice studying here as well as the gym that they have which is 24/7!

Great experience as everyone was very welcoming and made the moving process easy and straightforward. Also appreciated the quick response time regarding questions and was very happy with the customer service.

Recently moved into one of the buildings managed by this company. The whole process could not have been easier. Very helpful staff, which allowed the move in to be seemless

Great experience from the time we inquired about a lease all the way through move-in. The staff is professional and quick to respond. They met each of our requests and exceeded our expectations. The apartment has brand new floors and several other upgrades upon move in-a very pleasant surprise.

Excellent customer service. Great response rates provided in all communication with this apartment management company. I was very satisfied with the condition of my new apartment upon move-in in terms of condition, cleanliness, space, and it being representative of the pictures that were on the website. Additionally, Dakota Commercial stocked my new apartment with brand new clean towels, a candle, dish soap, pot holder, dish towel, bathroom hand soap, and a few other goodies provided at the office which was a very pleasant surprise. Dakota commercial also is very easy to work.

We moved to Minnesota Heights bulking since April 2020, never felt happy and ratified like this before. The Dakota Commercial stuff are very professional, they have enough knowledge about their jobs, they resolved any issues easy and smoothly, specifically Mrs. Andrea and Mrs Heather. They are really amazing. I wish I can give Dakota Commercial more than 5 stars.

I recently moved into Campus Place 7 in Grand Forks and the process was so smooth. We happened to apply for a unit that wasn’t remodeled and they made sure to ask us if we would rather have a remodeled one for the same price! The property manger is a doll and makes herself available basically all hours.

Made me and my roommates feel welcome, clean housing & very thorough with expectations of what we would be getting before moving in.

I love the updated building and the lovely neighborhood. Staff are great and very kind. Love the included gym, and that there is plenty of parking!

i just signed on a new lease and i chose this apartment for several reasons. Management has been very easy to work with, the unit is clean, and updated. i love the area and proximity to necessities. Parking is great and im looking forward to settling in here!

The people who work there are very kind and helpful, the apartment is very nice, clean, and updated. Parking isn’t an issue because there is lots of parking. Recommend.

Dakota Commercial, and the staff at Pure North, are true professionals, with hearts the size of Texas!

For those looking for an excellent location, view, and amenities, Pure North is the place! You will be taken care of, and can continue living at the level you are accustomed to.

We drove up from Houston. Needed a place right away. Found a lovely urban overlook mid rise, top floor. The view is tremendous. The daily life and nightlife of downtown Grand Forks, is an enrichment I truly enjoyed. To be two blocks away from the Saturday morning farmers market, and having a grocery store on the ground floor, were amenities no other place could match.

The unit was brand new, so no complaints. We had one light that was finicky, and maintenance fixed that right way. Also, their maintenance crew; good people. I'm gonna miss you guys, and gal!

The unit had appointments of the quality we were accustomed to, unlike many other area rentals. We had central air conditioning and heating; with vents in the ceiling not on the floor, stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, chrome faucets, and textured engineered dark wood plank flooring. Very nice.

As a cook, the kitchen was perfect. The appliances were full-sized. The stove is a glass countertop appliance with easy clean-ups. The wall cabinets were 42" hight for storage, floor cabinets were a full 2feet deep, and the corner pantry is nearly a walk-in closet.

The bedrooms were fully carpeted with high grade cushioning under-foam, that made your feet so glad to be home. The closets were large.

The in-unit laundry room was large and featured brand new Amana appliances, another closet in the laundry room, and a hanging rack the entire width of the room.

The parking garage offered excellent protection from the elements, as well as restricting access to your vehicle. It cost a little extra, yet I slept well knowing my vehicle was there. No need to scrape snow off your vehicle, run in the rain, or worry about break-ins.

The management crew; Emma, Nicole, and Especially Matt and Heather: My Go Team! Seriously, you guys went above and beyond to help us in our special situation. Heather, in particular, was very gracious and human with her handling of our move out and a personal situation. I wont forget you!

We're back here, in Texas, already missing that feeling of security of knowing you guys are on it. May your listings always be filled!

We have been extremely happy with Dakota Commercial. They have been extremely great and we absolutely love our unit. The gals in the office are second to none compared to other companies we’ve been with. It’s nice to be somewhere where they genuinely care. We would highly recommend Dakota Commercial.

We lived in the Northern Pacific building in East Grand Forks. The apartment and location were nice, however the building was infested with cockroaches when we moved in. They did not inform us of the infestation, instead had us sign paperwork stating we were responsible for reporting any infestation. After multipule sightings we found out from our neighbor 2 weeks after move in that the previous tennant moved out because of cockroaches. Management was responsive, and had pest control come on many occasions, but in the 8 months living there the situation was never fully resolved.

The staff is really helpful and kind. I just leased at Campus Place 3 with two friends. They were really responsive to maintence upon moving in and the price for a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom is pretty decent (about $430 for each person including average on utilities).

I just moved in to my Campus Place Apartments and I am loving it here. With in my move in inspection the sink pipes were leaking and I told Tammy, the property manager, about it and the maintenance guy was there to fix it with in an hour. Tammy made the the leasing process easy to understand.

I have been renting from Dakota Commercial (Northern Pacific Apartments) for about a year now. The whole team helped me so much throughout the process. If I have a maintenance request it gets resolved very quickly. I highly recommend Dakota Commercial.

Matt and Heather were the most helpful people I have met . I am very pleased with all they done for me

Andera is a VERY RUDE UNPROFESSIONAL employee! They have "undercovers" living at each apartment which is basically nosy neighbors that can tell on you & watch the cameras! After every winter all ac units break & have to be fixed. Appliances always break,even maintenance told me they're all cheap!The people they call to clean the carpets/fix them are known drug users! Almost every month some kids would pull the fire alarm for fun,can't even tell when its a real emergency!I guess though cause they have no place for kids to play anyway.& the 1 trash can they have is always full & over flowing.Definitely will never recommend sometimes they give u a free pizza when u leave a review when you live there so I wouldn't trust all the positive comments lol
