The University district of Minneapolis is comprised of four distinct neighborhoods and provides a unique appeal for both students and full-time residents alike.

Adjacent to the sprawling University of Minnesota campus, which itself is a blend of old and new, international and local, this is a destination neighborhood offering you arts, music, entertainment, world-class health facilities, collegiate sports and business.

The whole melds seamlessly into a captivating lifestyle. What’s more, the neighborhood alliance of Marcy-Holmes, West Bank-Riverside, SE Como and Prospect Park assures that the community retains its diverse appeal.

Marcy-Holmes is home to Dinkytown, the beloved center of life for generations of University students. Here you’ll find Greek houses, boarding houses and apartments, along with some fine old residences.

The city's "first neighborhood," it is bound by the mighty Mississippi, East Hennepin business district and the "main" campus, which you can walk to from downtown on a nice day.

Today, Marcy-Holmes is bisected by I35W, and offers you access to a variety of modern public transportation options.

Cedar Riverside, once an industrial area, became a cultural and residential haven for artists and hippies of the 1960s and 70s.

It was even home to the first high-rise residential towers in Minneapolis and today, is populated by the largest immigrant population in the Twin Cities. The University's West Bank campus also occupies a central position here.

Prospect Park and Como are a bit more settled and a bit further afield, but both are nearly equidistant between the University of Minnesota’s Minneapolis and Saint Paul campuses.
