Minnesota Living

Minneapolis Apartments A lush, beautiful environment and plenty of urban sophistication combine to make Minneapolis a unique city that its residents love. It earns a seemingly endless parade of titles: third on Esquire Magazine's "Cities That Rock," Money Magazine's "Most Fun City in America," Travel & Leisure's "Cleanest City" and PBS's "Most Walkable Community." Speaking of walking, Minneapolis contains the only scenic byway located entirely within an urban area, allowing you to circumnavigate the city on a winding complex of beautiful trails. Minneapolis is also famous for the Mall of America, more theater seats per capita than any city other than New York and more golfers per capita than any other city in the country. How's that for variety? Residents can find their niche here in this diverse city full of opportunity. More good news: The overall cost of living is 12% below the national average, meaning that apartments are relatively inexpensive. Average apartments for rent go for $800 a month, with average 2-bedroom apartments renting for $1,000.
St. Paul Apartments The other Twin City has its own fair share of natural beauty and metropolitan delights. Set along the Mississippi River, St. Paul has a large, ethnically diverse population and a rich history of culture, which is reflected in its historic sites, architectural landmarks and Old World neighborhoods. One of the most striking features of the city are its skyways, enclosed pedestrian walkways that connect virtually all of downtown and keep pedestrians comfortable and dry no matter what the weather is outside. The cost of living here is 9% lower than the national average, which is not as favorable as Minneapolis. However, the price of apartment rentals is somewhat cheaper here. Average one-bedroom apartments go for about $650, two-bedroom apartment rentals go for $800 and three-bedroom apartments for rent average $1,000 per month. Rent.com
