I am looking for a duplex / townhouse in northeast Mpls area for rent starting July, my budget is ~1600 and looking for 2 bedroom:) thanks in advance:)

Hi, I am a 23 year old male who’s maybe about to accept a job offer in Minneapolis. I’m coming from Texas so I do not know anything about the city. Hoping maybe people can help me out with where to live and areas to live and just general tips. Looking for apartments/studios under $900-1,000. Any help would be appreciated thanks!

I can’t afford a full extra month of rent up front for a deposit until I get my deposit back from my last place. Does anyone know of a landlord that lets you pay your security deposit over time?

My husband and I are moving to the area soon (I’ll be working at UMN, he’s fully remote in SWE), and we’re looking for some housing recs. We’re hoping to be under $2300 (we’re okay paying extra for parking) for monthly rent, and here’s what we’d like:

Within 30 minutes of UMN - suburbs are fine by me.
Size: 1 bed with den or a 2 bed (need an “office”)
Parking: 2 cars, covered parking needed for both.
Amenities: gym with free weights, lap pool would be major bonus.
Unit: 100% need to have central heating and in-unit laundry. Patio would be a nice bonus.
We have two cats. We also would like to maybe have a more insulated unit (I don’t want to hear our neighbors).

Any recommendations? We aren’t from here and there’s a LOT of options to sort through. We are young professionals, so we’re open to really anything but it would be fun to be in an area we could explore.

Thanks y’all!

hey everyone i have been searching for MONTHS to find a place. i’ve been on so many websites, facebook, and literally searching google earth going down every road to find something i like. id like to keep it under 1300 but theres a couple things i want.. -white, black or grey kitchen cabinets -on site parking/ parking garage. i’d love to be somewhere downtown with a city view if possible (love the rooftop decks) i’ve also seen that (good dwelling) and (nico) apartments are both around my budget but im not sure if they are good property’s/ decent areas. also very interested in the loft style apartments!! i’ve seen a bunch of student apartments too that i love but can you live there without being a student?? i can’t find any info on that. please help a girl out!! this hunt has been so stressful

Who do yall recommend for local (~30min) moves for a studio? I have big items and am still recovering from a back injury so I am gonna have go pay movers at this rate.

I really need someone to take over my 12 month lease at Northstar apartments. Any help finding someone? Or any clue how I could find someone more efficiently. Great apartment and location.

Hi I am a UIUC student who is going to be in Minneapolis in May through December interning at a local company. I already have housing secured for May through early August, but need somewhere to stay for the rest of the time. If you or anyone you know is offering a fall sublease or a whole academic year lease takeover please contact me as I need somewhere to stay for the fall semester. Ideally my budget is under $1000 a month. Thanks a have a great day.

It’s my first month in a new apartment that I’m renting in SLP..

I’ve never been without a/c before, but I figured I would just purchase my own portable a/c unit and attach a hose to the window.. but after reading the community rules that were given to me, it is saying that we cannot use our own portable a/c unit.. I’m honestly shocked, I mean the a/c wall unit is there but it doesn’t cool the main bedroom down at all. It’s bloody hot and a fan is not doing it.. I’m not sure what to do.. should I just look for another apartment ..

Has anyone heard of this before? Anyone have any suggestions?

I submitted an application for Bridgewaters apartments. My lease ends the 15th of June.

They ignored me for a straight week. I'm getting closer to the end of my lease and I'm feeling like I just don't have the time anymore.

Hello! I wanted to share a GoFundMe for a friend who has recently lost her home and is now trying to find a safe place to live. Your support can make a real difference in helping her secure an apartment and start fresh. Please consider donating or sharing the link to help her during this challenging time. Thank you!

ISO a listing agent who’s very familiar with Northeast mpls. Looking to list, longtime resident so it’s a hard decision and I want to do it well. I think it’s an important factor with how niche the area is and how values and builds differ dramatically across the neighborhoods. Any insights, recommendations, or challenges of my logic are appreciated.

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for specific apartment recommendations in Minneapolis area. I’m trying to find a place that has a good mix of lifestyle, community, and location.

Ideally, I’d like to be close enough to green spaces for biking and general exercise like the Chain of Lakes, Theodore Wirth Park, river trails, or similar outdoor areas. At the same time, I still want to be reasonably close to lively neighborhoods like North Loop, Northeast, Uptown, Downtown, or other areas with restaurants, bars, events, and things going on.

I’m also hoping to find a building with more of a social/community environment for people in their late 20s and 30s. Somewhere with a fun, friendly vibe where residents actually meet each other through resident events, rooftop/pool/social spaces, fitness areas, game nights, or just a generally outgoing community.

A few things I’m prioritizing:

\- Good maintenance and responsive management
\- Clean, well-kept building
\- Social/community feel for 20s/30s
\- Close to parks, lakes, trails, or biking routes
\- Reasonable access to North Loop, Northeast, Uptown, Downtown, or other lively areas
\- Amenities that help people meet: rooftop, pool, gym, courtyard, club room, events, etc.
\- A building that feels active and friendly

Does anyone have specific apartment buildings they’d recommend based on personal experience? I’d especially appreciate feedback on management, maintenance, resident vibe and whether the community actually feels social.

Also open to buildings or property managers to avoid.

Thanks in advance!

We’re moving here from out of state and would love to rent a house or duplex with a yard. Small family of 3, great credit and rental history.

Our price range is 1400-1700. We’re also considering apartments too in that range but would prefer a house.

Ideally we’d love a place with a yard, garage, and laundry.

I made this post two weeks ago and got a lot of good answers and helpful feedback! Since then, I have narrowed my options down to one place in Uptown and one in the North Loop.

I am a 24m. The difference in rent between the two places I am looking at is like $150-200 a month (with Uptown being the cheaper one), so I'd have more spending money if I was in Uptown (I'd have to pay at least $150 a month for parking in either place since street parking is unreliable).

Another benefit of Uptown is that I could keep my LA Fitness membership (I currently go to the one in Edina but I could just go to the one in St. Louis Park if I lived in Uptown, I really like LA Fitness they have all of the equipment I need). I feel like the gym options are not as great in the North Loop area, at least affordable gym options.

But I also know that the North Loop is super trendy with lots of people my age and places to go and things to do. But I also have read on Reddit that it is kind of a frat bro/finance bro kind of place, and it does seem very yuppie and WASP from what I have seen when I have spent time there... when I was talking about deciding where to live with my therapist, even she said she doesn't see me as the North Loop type. Even with that though, still a lot to do there, and a lot of walking options, and I would be like 7 minutes from work, whereas Uptown would be like 11 minutes (I guess this is a moot point).

Things I like to do and would like to do in a place: I like watching sports (big Timberwolves and Vikings fan), I like bass fishing (which I have done at both the chain of lakes in Uptown and at the river in Minneapolis), I'd like to be able to meet new people to go to bars/restaurants/clubs with, I also just wanna be more active this summer, I am hoping to pick up golf and/or pickleball (which I recognize I can find places to do both pretty much anywhere in the Twin Cities).

I also recognize that while I can live in a place with a lot of people my age, I still need to be much more outgoing and actually take initiative to meet new people and make friends (and meet girls ;)).

Space is important to me and it's how I narrowed it down to my two choices.

I work in IT and spent most of my days on the road driving all over MN and WI; some days are entirely work from home. I make a decent amount of money but am holding off on buying a house until the current socioeconomic situation settles down.

Non smoker but I don't care if others do (Regular, Vape, Weed etc. Crack and such I have beef with lol). I drink very, very occasionally, and again, I don't care if others do as long as you're not coming home drunk and busting up the house.

I'm currently looking at leaving the 1 bedroom I've been in for 4 years mainly because I just want a change of scenery and I'm overpaying for it, but just don't feel like I'm ready to purchase a house or overspend on apartments.

Other things about me:

I'm a veteran and from Texas but I am very left leaning. I respect everyone but if you're MAGA then I don't think it'll be a good personality fit

No criminal record

Good credit; I've always been a month or two AHEAD on rent

No pets. I had a cat I had to put down in October and it wrecked my world and it'll be a while before I even think about getting another one lol

I stay fairly active

I tend to keep to myself, but I'm not antisocial.

I'm a guitar player but I won't keep you up all night with it

If you want to know more about me just go back and look through my post/comment history. Its well established and gives you a good idea of who I am.

I’m a trans girl seeking help and resources to relocate to Minneapolis!
