About Northstar Dinkytown
Historical, family owned building with on-site management and maintenance. Lots of size and layout options with apartments ranging from historical, loft style units with exposed brick walls and beams to newly built, modern units. Conveniently located near campus just steps from Bierman athletic facilities. Our apartments are leased by the full unit, giving your group flexibility to live how you want. You can have one resident per bedroom or share bedrooms to make rent more affordable. The prices shown here are estimated per-bedroom rates based on splitting the total unit rent evenly among residents or splitting evenly with shared rooms. Each resident signs an individual rent addendum agreeing to their portion of the rent. That means you only pay for your share, never the full unit.
Northstar Dinkytown is an apartment community located in Hennepin County and the 55414 ZIP Code. This area is served by the Minneapolis Public School Dist. attendance zone.
