12,100 Apartments, Houses, & Townhomes for Rent in Minnesota

Minnesota rentals typically run for about $1,697/mo. But since price points vary across cities, renters should tailor their search based on their needs and budget. One of the most expensive suburbs is Minnetonka, where rents for one-bedroom units hover around $1,356/mo, and two-bedroom units cost $1,748/mo. On the other hand, St. Cloud is known for its affordable apartments in Minnesota. One-bedroom units go for $834/mo, while most two-bedroom units are listed around $1,163/mo.

Minnesota’s green spaces and suburban neighborhoods make it one of the most pet-friendly rental markets in the Midwest. There are many houses for rent in Minnesota that are close to parks and trails, making them ideal for renters with bigger dogs. While landlords usually accept pets in large homes with yards, Minnesota apartments in downtown areas, and condos with HOAs aren’t as lenient. While there are pet-friendly apartments, Minnesota landlords and property managers often enforce breed and weight limits. Since policies vary across Minnesota rentals, always ask the landlord directly. And if you have a service animal or an emotional support animal (ESA), let them know in advance.

Age-restricted communities are common throughout Minnesota, but Rochester and Saint Paul have the majority of the inventory. For 55+ communities and income-restricted assisted living facilities, most options have long waitlists. Since availability is often limited, try to apply early and look at multiple communities to help you secure a spot in senior housing. Minnesota’s rural communities often have lower housing costs and shorter wait times, but they’re not as close to transportation or retail.

For furnished and short-term rentals, most of the supply is in areas with traveling healthcare workers tied to the Mayo Clinic and corporate hubs, such as Bloomington, Duluth, and Maple Grove.
