Neighborhood: We lived here for 8 years and LOVED the easy location at 169 & 394. Building adjoins a park with basketball court, bike path, playground, and more open green space. Kip's Irish Pub & Marriott hotel also adjoin the park, w great evening relaxation on the patio & winter hangout. 8 min. to Uptown or downtown Minneapolis (much quicker than living in Mpls), 4 min. drive to Hopkins Crossroad shopping ctr (restaurants, Trader Joe's & Caribou, 6 min to Ridgedale/Target etc. Restaurants, movie theater and shops around the block.

Move-in costs total $1000, including security deposit: - $200 move-in/out fees (charged to us by the condo assn, passed through) - $300 application fee (credit & criminal background checks) - Security is only $500, because I'm very careful about who I allow to rent my condo! Great people have lived here, with no real damage to speak of, and I expect the next great people to stick to that pattern.
