Minneapolis-St. Paul…the biggest small town you’ll ever live in

The Twin Cities and surrounding suburbs make up the country’s 16th largest metro area, but no one here is keeping track. They’re too busy livin’ the good life. Seriously, people. When you have a great cultural scene, good schools and beautiful surroundings, who cares about keeping up with the Joneses?

Check out the legendary music scene or the thriving theater companies, museums, galleries and art festivals. Attention shoppers: the cities have two Downtowns, one Uptown, a bunch of ’Dales and the one, the only, Mall of America. Better wear comfortable shoes.

If you're looking for apartments for rent in Minneapolis, think about the lifestyle you want. Search our neighborhoods for info about lifestyle and search to find apartments close to work or daycare or your favorite park. Same thing goes if you're looking for St. Paul apartments - we have plenty of rentals in both areas of the Twin Cities.

Sports buffs can get major league baseball with the Twins, minor league with the St. Paul Saints. Vikings football, the NBA Timberwolves and the WNBA Lynx, The Wild for hockey and Minnesota Thunder soccer. And those are just the pros. The University of Minnesota teams are no slouches, either.

The downside? Winter can be brutal here, but that doesn’t stop St. Paulites from throwing a Winter Carnival every January. And with 136,900 acres of parkland and 950 metro area lakes, what’s a bike path (hiking trail, fishing hole) in the summer is a ski trail (snowshoe path, fishing hole—if you bring an auger) in the winter.

Joneses, schmoneses. For a great place to raise kids, have fun and live healthy…here’s your key. Open the door.
