Minneapolis is a beautiful, energetic Midwestern city. And to take full advantage of all of the cultural, culinary, educational, and artistic opportunities it offers, you’d better live near the action. But living downtown doesn’t mean you have to submit to a tiny apartment. Renting a single-family home, a townhome, or even a condo will increase your space and your options. Here are some of the best condos for rent Minneapolis can offer.
3640 Wooddale Ave. S.
With one bedroom and one bathroom, this 920-square-foot condo is perfect for a young professional or couple. It also includes parking for one car, fitness center access, a gas fireplace, 10-foot ceilings, dark wood floors, a private balcony, and a washer/dryer in unit. The kitchen also boasts a hanging rack for pans and other dishes, plus stainless steel appliances and durable corian countertops. It’s just outside the city, in St. Louis Park, so for a 15-minute drive each day, you’ll pay only $1,395 a month in rent.
215 10th Avenue S.
With a gorgeous open floor plan and honey-colored wood floors and cabinets, this two-bedroom will likely be snapped up quickly. It also has two bathrooms, covered parking, and in-unit laundry — just like a full house in the middle of Downtown East, with the added amenities of a fitness center, rooftop pool, and game room. You’ll be blocks from the Guthrie Theater, Mill City Museum, and the Stone Arch Bridge, and you can enjoy views of the Mississippi River through floor-to-ceiling windows. Balconies also have gas hookups, so you’ll never have to worry about your grill not firing up for a summer cookout.
1129 S. Second Street
This spacious condo is even closer to the Mississippi River than the last, but it’s also in Downtown East within a minute’s walk of top-notch entertainment. The large kitchen has a built-in wine rack, unique light fixtures add interest throughout the home, and the large bedroom contains a luxurious private master bath and upgraded walk-in closet. Living in this condo also grants you access to a pool, hot tub, exercise room, and community room.
675 N. First Street
With two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and nearly 1,200 square feet, this two-story condo has all of the comforts — and space — of home. The spacious living room has walnut floors and the kitchen has stainless steel appliances and a glass-topped dining table that matches the modern aesthetics of the apartment. Located in the Warehouse District, this Minneapolis condo is in an extremely walkable, historic neighborhood, near the river, Boom Island Park, Whole Foods, and Target Field.
408 N. First Street
There are two condos available in this desirable complex, which is also in the Warehouse District. They’re both two-bedroom, two-bathroom units, but one spans 1,860 square feet, and the other is slightly larger, at 2,073. They both have in-unit laundry, two indoor parking stalls, hardwood floors, plenty of built-in shelving, and a surprisingly gourmet kitchen with huge windows.
