Minneapolis lives up to its “City of Lakes” nickname, with thirteen lakes woven into the city, all connected by the Grand Rounds National Scenic Byway. Miles of trails make it easy to bike, run, or relax outdoors, while neighborhoods bring their own distinct personality. Uptown sits near Bde Maka Ska and Lake of the Isles, the North Loop features trendy shops and warehouse-style apartments near Target Field, and the Northeast Arts District blends galleries with lively taprooms. Near the Mississippi River, Dinkytown borders the University of Minnesota campus, while Downtown’s enclosed skyway system helps residents stay connected during the city’s freezing winters.
The Minneapolis rental market offers a range of options, from modern high-rise apartments and loft-style communities in the Mill District to classic townhomes in Longfellow.
