About Student Housing in Minneapolis
Minneapolis is a major Midwestern city known for its strong arts scene, Fortune 500 business base, and exceptional infrastructure for biking and public transit. The city sits on the Mississippi River and is divided into dozens of distinct neighborhoods, each with its own commercial life and character. Cedar-Riverside, where Augsburg University is located, is culturally distinctive, home to a large East African community and steps from the light rail connecting the campus to downtown and the University of Minnesota. Minneapolis winters are cold, but the city is built for it, with skyways, transit, and an active year-round outdoor culture. For Augsburg students, the city itself is as much a resource as the campus.
Best Neighborhoods for Students in Minneapolis
Cedar-Riverside
Cedar-Riverside is immediately adjacent to Augsburg's Riverside Ave campus and is the neighborhood most closely identified with Augsburg student life. It is dense, diverse, and walkable, with light rail access, East African restaurants and groceries, and a strong community identity that makes it unlike any other neighborhood near a Minneapolis campus.
Seward
Seward is a bike-friendly, cooperative-culture neighborhood just southeast of campus with a well-established rental market catering to students and young professionals. Franklin Ave and Minnehaha Ave anchor its commercial life, with natural food co-ops, coffee shops, and independent businesses that give the neighborhood a distinct character.
West Bank Arts District
The West Bank along Cedar Ave, immediately walkable from Augsburg, is home to live music venues, theaters, and some of Minneapolis's most affordable urban apartments. The Cedar Cultural Center is the neighborhood anchor, and proximity to the Cedar-Riverside transit hub makes this a strong car-free option.
