Rent since 2014
ACS 5-year median gross rent for Minneapolis city. Up 61% since 2014. St. Anthony West is 32% 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.
Nordeast on the west side of the river. Grain-belt bones, galleries, and a quieter read than the North Loop. Mpls With Love’s Northeast notes — artist studios, breweries, old Eastern European institutions under pricing pressure — apply here in miniature.
The river is the view; downtown is a bridge. Weight vibe. If you want the full Nordeast commercial strip, you will cross a few more streets. If you want warehouses without a stadium, this is the softer landing.
