So, who is Albert Lea and why was this pretty Minnesota town named for him? He was Albert Miller Lea, a topographer whose United States Dragoons 1835 survey team included one of Daniel Boone's sons.

Are you looking for apartments for rent in Albert Lea? Then you're in luck, because you'll find house rentals, two bedroom apartments for rent or a 1 bedroom apartment for rent in this community. But look early--you'll need about a month to peruse newspapers, online resources and that old reliable option--drive around town and look for yourself until you find a place you love. You should come equipped with a credit report and bank statements for landlords who require such things--most do. Note: the town is chilly in the winter, so bring your warm jacket and wooly mittens and enjoy everything this beautiful community has to offer.

The Neighborhoods

Albert Lea City Center: Suburban in feel and near Albert Lea lake, this part of town features medium to small single family homes and apartment complexes, with a mix of owners and renters in a neighborhood where some homes are historic in nature, built before 1940, and most were built before 1969. You'll find shops and cafes in this part of town, too.

Alden / Conger: Bear Lake is the small body of water to stroll around and enjoy in this neighborhood of apartment complexes and single family homes. Many historic properties exist here, built no later than 1939--and many much earlier than that. Primarily owner occupied, you'll find the occasional rental in this pretty part of town if you look.

Bancroft / Murtaugh: This area has a rural feel, in part because of its location near Myre Big Island State Park. You'll find single family homes and mobile homes built between 1969 and 1999 primarily.

Get to Know the Town

Art and Architecture

The Albert Lea Art Center, also known as the Bessessen Historic Opera House Building, was built in 1916 to showcase the talents of an internationally acclaimed opera star named Beatrice Bessessen. Even the Beatles never had an opera house named for them! But Beatrice is gone, if not entirely forgotten, and it is now an art center--albeit one with stellar architecture.

It's not the only historic building in town, either--Albert Lea is rife with charming structures, particularly in the central part of town.

Community Spirit

From family fun festivals to movie screenings and live music performances, this town is abuzz with things to do. It's only a ninety minute drive to Minneapolis, but you may never want to leave this place.

Water, Water Everywhere

The town is known as the "land between the lakes" and for good reason--stroll, boat, swim, fish, explore the beautiful bodies of water here--just don't fall in come winter time time when you'll be the catch of ice fishermen.
