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.
