Lakeville Apartments for Rent

Take a Peak at Lakeville

If you decide to take a sneak peek at Lakeville, Minnesota, you'll see that it’s located just south of Minneapolis. This town is an exurbia—it's a great place for people to live but most renters commute out of town for work or play. Of course, the town does have some workers, and players for that matter, but it's primarily a residential area. If you’re dead set on getting a job within the town, you might want to take a look at the Airlake Industrial Park or the airport.

With close to 60,000 people, Lakeville is a good-sized city with a decisively middle-class median income and a low poverty rate. If you’d like to learn more about this town, check out its handy and heartily helpful news outlet.

No matter what size, shape, and style of apartment you spring for, your new pad will keep you safe from the snow in the winter and safe from the mosquitos in the summer. Minnesota is the land of 10,000 lakes, after all. If you’ve found a place with a view of one of those lakes, watch out for any mosquitos that now have a lake with a view of you. (Don’t worry; it’s nothing a little insect repellant can’t fix.)

But you’re here because you’re wondering just how much you can expect to pay for an apartment here. Take a look at the rent chart and you’ll be able to see the average rates on one, two, and three bedroom apartments.
