Hi,
I was recently accepted to UMN Twin Cities. I am going to be a freshman next year. I would really like to live in a nice apartment when I start school, and was wondering if anybody has any good experience with any in the area?
Thanks!
There are some really nice apartments but they’re all pretty expensive… Anything along 15th ave is a good idea because you can take the 3 bus and get to wherever as it stops at jones hall, bruininks, and blegen on the other bank. The furnished places with fitness rooms and game rooms such as Sydney Hall or Bierman’s Place are nice but pricey. If you are looking for an unfurnished place with a lower price, Elmwood Properties is a bit further down 15th. Elmwood is pretty good but not as aesthetically pleasing. They have cameras throughout the building, a free parking space (many apartments will charge 100 monthly for a spot), allow pets (many places charge a monthly pet rent), and all utilities except for electricity are included in the rent. I really hope you’re getting a roommate, otherwise you’ll be spending a lot regardless of where you’re planning on staying.
