Maplewood is where the 3M Corporation chose to plant its global headquarters — and it’s easy to see why the city made such a strong impression. Sitting just ten minutes from downtown Saint Paul and stretching along its northern and eastern borders, Maplewood delivers a quieter pace without cutting you off from the Twin Cities. Battle Creek Regional Park connects cyclists directly to Saint Paul and Minneapolis through well-maintained trails, while Keller Golf Course gives outdoor enthusiasts a local retreat. The Maplewood Mall anchors a solid stretch of retail and dining options, and the live music venue Myth draws big-name acts right to the suburbs.
Renters will find a solid mix of apartment communities and townhomes spread across the city’s 19 square miles. Whether you’re after a spacious two-bedroom or a cozy studio, the rental landscape here covers a wide range of layouts and price points. With Saint Paul easily accessible for work or a night out, and Minneapolis not far beyond that, Maplewood gives you the breathing room of a suburb with the convenience of the metro right at your doorstep.
