I am moving from my apartment on December 28, and looking for someone to take over my lease! Its a second-floor apartment in Sydney Hall on 4th and 15th right next to the UMN campus, and right on the corner of Metro Transit buses. The train is only a 15-20min walk, a little faster if you take some university busing to help.
Rent is $599/mo including water; heat and gas usually dont exceed more than $30/mo when its split among everyone.
Its fully furnished, pet-friendly, with w/d in the unit, dishwasher, bathroom, WiFi, and has an attached garage (I believe theres a payment to use it). Theres also a great view of Dinkytown from the living room windows.
