This single-floor unit at 3618 Colfax Ave S in Minneapolis offers a straightforward, functional layout spread across several distinct living areas. The flooring varies throughout the space, with warm hardwood floors found in the main living and kitchen areas, while plush carpeting covers at least one bedroom, providing a softer underfoot feel. The kitchen is compact yet practical, equipped with a gas range, a full-sized refrigerator, and a dedicated counter area with a butcher block surface. Cabinetry is clean and white, extending to the ceiling for ample storage, and a mosaic tile backsplash adds a subtle design detail above the stainless steel sink. Track lighting illuminates the kitchen efficiently. The living areas include rooms with natural light filtering in through multiple windows, offering views of the surrounding neighborhood greenery. Baseboard heating runs along the walls throughout the unit. One room features a ceiling fan with a built-in light fixture, adding both ventilation and ambient lighting. The bathroom retains a retro character with pink ceramic tile lining the walls of the tub surround and continuing partway up the surrounding walls, complemented by a pedestal-style sink and a medicine cabinet mirror. The overall ambiance of the unit is modest and functional, suited for straightforward, comfortable day-to-day living.

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.

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.
