This single-floor lobby presents a sophisticated and well-appointed common area designed with both form and function in mind. The space immediately draws attention with its striking black-and-white geometric patterned tile flooring, which anchors the room and establishes a bold visual identity. Recessed lighting and modern pendant fixtures with matte black finishes illuminate the interior, complementing the dark structural beam accents that frame the ceiling and add architectural contrast against the white walls. A prominent feature is the sleek, dark-toned bar or lounge counter fitted with black cabinetry and gold-accented bar stools, accompanied by an open display shelf stocked with decorative items and bottles. A decorative globe adds a classic, worldly touch to the reception counter area on the left side of the space. Floor-to-ceiling glass entry doors on the right side of the lobby allow abundant natural light to pour in, creating an open and inviting atmosphere. A glimpse of a furnished lounge area with green upholstered seating is visible in the background, hinting at a comfortable social space just beyond the main entrance area. Overall, the lobby conveys a polished, contemporary ambiance.

Also known as the Warehouse District, North Loop is an artistic neighborhood just over one mile northwest of Downtown Minneapolis. With a laid-back vibe, North Loops offers a diverse community and an array of unique businesses. Former industrial buildings have transformed into hip lofts and farm-to-table restaurants such as Spoon and Stable on North 1st Street. Locals enjoy visiting Target Field for a Twins game or the Minneapolis Farmers Market for local product, snacks, and candy. Public transit, local breweries, interstate access, and more make North Loop the convenient and unique place that it is. North Loop sits along the Mississippi River separating the neighborhood from Boom Island Park, a riverside green space with a boat dock, walking paths, and a playground.

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.
