36014 Falcon Way

Sitting at the crossroads of Interstate 35 and Highway 95, North Branch is where Minnesota's small-town character meets easy access to the Twin Cities metro, just an hour south. Downtown revolves around Main Street and 7th Avenue, where locally owned shops and neighborhood grills give the area a genuine, unhurried feel. Residents can spend weekends at the North Branch Golf Course, explore the city's several public parks, or head just outside town to follow forested trails along the banks of the Saint Croix River.

The rental landscape here leans toward practical and spacious, with apartment communities, townhomes, and multi-bedroom units that offer more room than you'd typically find closer to the metro. Whether you're searching for a cozy studio or a three-bedroom home, North Branch delivers solid options without the density of a larger city.
