30 Apartments for Rent

Looking for a new home in Mankato? Well, you're search has brought you to the right place! We've got plenty of listings for you right here, plus a nice, quick apartment guide to the must-know nuances of renting in this beautiful riverside city.

Home to Minnesota State University, the Minnesota Vikings summer training camp, and situated along the Blue Earth and Minnesota Rivers, Mankato is at once a college town, a football town, and a river town. But, that's not all. Mankato also has a feisty little arts community, and has ranked in the top 50 college towns by Rolling Stone because of its live music scene. With local bands bringing you live blues, rock, jazz, country, and classical acts, as well as some diverse music of the genre-bending breed, you are sure to be entertained. So, if you're ready to live in a college-football-river-music-town, then you are ready to learn all about the rentals that Mankato has to offer.

With such a large student population, college culture greatly affects the rental market. For instance, there are quite a few apartment complexes and converted homes that rent by the room (usually around $400). These types of rentals are loud and rambunctious. If you like to get crazy, then this could be a good fit. Renting a one-bedroom apartment on your own can cost anywhere from $500 - $700, and renting a two-bedroom apartment with a roommate could save quite a bit of money, with rents ranging from $700 - $1,000. These rates extend beyond basic apartment rentals, with quite a few rental homes and duplexes that are worth checking out.

If you are looking for an apartment with tons of amenities, it's pretty hard to go wrong around here. Common amenities include a laundry room, playground, swimming pool, garage, gym, and recycling. There are also quite a few places with luxury amenities, such as a hot tub, sauna, resort-style swimming pool, 24-hour fitness center, game room, tanning salon, volleyball court, computer lab, and more.

Dog owners beware! There are very few places that will accept your beloved pets. Cat ladies, however, are very welcome. Most places are very cat friendly, though you can expect a reasonably priced pet deposit.

"A little Twin Cities. A lot Minnesota" is the slogan for the Mankato area. If you're a little bit Twin City and a lot of Minnesota, then you are sure to get along with your new hometown. Good luck!
