Apartments in St Paul

Saint Paul is the twin city to Minneapolis, the largest city in the state. On its own, Saint Paul is home to just under 300,000 citizens. When combined with the twin city of Minneapolis, the area constitutes the 16th largest metro population in the country. The Mississippi River is the rough dividing line between the two cities, with Minneapolis mainly on the west and Saint Paul on the east.

Although the city is large enough that it doesn't have the feel of a typical college town, St. Paul is actually home to the second most universities and colleges per capita in the country. Schools with widespread reputations include Concordia University and Metropolitan State University, although there are more than a dozen more within the city.

When to Search

Saint Paul has rental suite availability that is on par with the rest of the country. However, the city has fought urban sprawl for many years now, and to find an apartment in the location you're after will take longer than it might in other similarly sized cities. Start looking in April or May to position yourself for success.

Staying in the Know

When you're applying for an apartment in Saint Paul, try to use as many local connections as you can in your application. In other words, if you are enrolled at a local University, employed by a local company, or have rental references from other Saint Paul and area landlords, it will be very helpful. If you're coming into town for the first time, you'll need to make sure your application is that much better.
