Neighborhood

West Bde Maka Ska is one of Minneapolis’ best neighborhoods. The neighborhood voted to change the name from West Calhoun to West Maka Ska in 2020. Between its natural beauty, family-friendly atmosphere, great schools, and excellent location, it’s not hard to see why so many renters are attracted to West Bde Maka Ska. The community is nestled along the western shore of Bde Maka Ska, the largest lake in Minneapolis. Anchored by Minikahda Club, a lush private golf course, West Maka Ska is south of Cedar Lake and Lake of the Isles and north of Lake Harriet. With easy access to four lakes and waterfront green space, West Maka Ska residents have plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation. Go swimming at Thomas Beach, take a stroll along the Grand Rounds trail, or see a concert at the Lake Harriet Bandshell Park. Along with natural beauty, West Maka Ska has restaurants, grocers, and stores in the neighborhood.

Great Spot

Resident for almost 2 years. The location of this apartment complex is one of the best in the twin cities. A perfect mix of nature/city feel at the same time with a park and Lake Bde Maka Ska a crossed the street! Plenty of great food and a Whole Foods within walking distance. Staff is very nice and helpful.

One of the best hidden gems in the city of Minneapolis! Highly Recommend.

All of the new updates have made these great apartments!

Property Manager at Portage Apartments, Responded To This Review

Thank you so much for taking the time to review our community. I'm so glad to hear that you appreciate the improvements to the community. I agree, the community is a gem and I'm sure you love that it's right on Lake Calhoun. I know we do.

Location #1

I moved to Minneapolis a little less than a year ago and for me it was all about location, and I found it. West Calhoun is located across the street from not only a great little shopping center but also one of the most vivacious lakes in the Cities, Lake Calhoun. The apartment itself is small but as a single person it is the perfect size and even includes a spacious bedroom. You're also allowed cats and small dogs. My only complaint is that there are some issue's within the apartment that have been looked at, they are usually extremely prompt, but have yet to be fixed. Overall I highly recommend this location especially if you are living single and don't necessarily hang out in your apartment a lot which when your right on Lake Calhoun and minutes from Uptown, why would you?!
