Finding an Apartment in Minneapolis

Minneapolis and St. Paul sit only a few miles apart in Minnesota and make up a huge metro area that includes many smaller cities and towns which surround them. Living downtown is great but areas like Richfield, Maplewood, Edina, Mendota Heights, Roseville, and Arden Hills are all desirable places to live. The 494 Freeway does a big loop around the metro region with I-94 and I-35 cutting through the city as well. The Mississippi River all runs through Minneapolis and St. Paul which only adds to the views you might get in your apartment. There are plenty of complexes that offer 1, 2, and even 3 bedrooms with multiple floor plans and city views. We suggest you start your search on Rent.com or Apartments.com to find out pricing and availability. The best source of information is the actual website for an apartment complex which we have listed several down below. Talk with the property manager to find out details like - are pets ok, is there parking for each resident, what size are the bedrooms and bathrooms, kitchen amenities, pool/spa, workout room, etc. Once you have the basic information, then setup an appointment so you can stop by and take a look at the unit. Remember to drive around the surrounding neighborhood and see about street parking, local shopping options, safety, and convenience to freeways for commuting. Rents are still fairly reasonable in Minneapolis but finding a 2 bedroom unit with a friend or another renter is a good call since it will save you a bit on your rent.

The cost of living is moderate in the Minneapolis Metro area, and 1 BR apartments will normally set you back $700 or more per month. Below are listings for some Minneapolis Apartment Rentals.
