Boasting an eclectic local culture that combines the best elements of Midwestern personality and metropolitan sophistication, Minneapolis has built a solid reputation as one of the most interesting and exciting cities in the region, and indeed the entire nation. A vibrant urban center in the land of 10,000 lakes, Minneapolis enjoys well-earned attention for its stress-free atmosphere, great bicycling trails, and culturally diverse population. The city’s robust economy has deep roots, with numerous major companies having operated corporate headquarters in the city for decades (in some cases a century or more). In spite of being a major economic hub, the city is full of surprisingly affordable apartments, condos, and rental homes.
If you live in Downtown, getting around in winter is never a problem thanks to the skyway system.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Property Ratings at Colfax Villas I
The loft style studios are different than your typical studios in that there is a dividing wall separating the living and sleeping areas. I really like this, and it makes the apartment seem more like a 1 bed than a studio. Some parts of the building are a little dated, but I kind of like this, as it gives it a sort of "vintage" feel. The building is quiet and so far the management has been great and maintenance requests get done in a timely manner. Great location also! Would recommend.
I love this apartment, its super close to the lake and has been kept up very well by the owners. They truly take pride in the outdoor appearance of the apartment and I think it is the best looking place on the block. It's in close proximity to the popular uptown area- which has many dining and shopping options!
