Rent since 2014
ACS 5-year median gross rent for Minneapolis city. Up 61% since 2014. Cedar-Isles-Dean is 36% above the 2024 city median.
Overlapping 5-year ACS windows (B25064), not asking rent. Census does not publish a rent series for each official neighborhood, so the line is the city place. The dashed mark is this area’s ACS 2024 median.
HUD treats 30% of income as the cost-burden line. We do not split ACS rent into 1-bed vs 2-bed. Method.

On the ground
What it is like to live here, beyond the scores.
Between Cedar Lake and the Isles — quiet streets, a trail system, and a name that is three neighborhoods glued together. It is the most residential of the chain of lakes slice: less Uptown, more path.
You will bike everywhere and still own a car. Downtown is a ride. Weight lake and safety. Linden Hills is the village version south of here; this is the in-between.
