Furnished Apartments Near the University of Minnesota
Move into a home that is already set up. University Commons offers fully furnished 1, 2, and 4 bedroom student apartments about 1 mile from UMN, with every piece of furniture included in your rent.
University Commons is fully furnished off-campus student housing at 609 SE Huron Blvd, Minneapolis, MN 55414, about 1 mile from the University of Minnesota. Every 1, 2, and 4 bedroom home comes furnished as standard, with a living room package in the shared space and a bedroom package in each bedroom. Furniture is included in your rent, so there is no separate furniture fee. Internet and a full-size washer and dryer come with every apartment, and residents reach campus on foot or by bike.
Skip the truck rental and the first-week furniture run
Furnishing a college apartment from scratch means a moving truck, a weekend lost to assembly, and a string of purchases you will not want when the lease ends. University Commons removes all of it. Every apartment arrives fully furnished, with the sofa, the beds, the desks, and the TV already in place, so the only thing left to bring is your own.
Because the furniture is built into the home rather than billed as an add-on, you do not weigh whether a package is worth it or coordinate a rental delivery. The living room is ready for roommate dinners and study breaks, and each bedroom is ready for a full night of sleep and a real place to work, from your first day on campus.
Two packages, built around how students actually live
The furnishing comes in two parts: a living room package for the shared space and a bedroom package provided for every bedroom in the home. Both are standard in all 1, 2, and 4 bedroom floor plans, so whatever layout you choose, the whole apartment is set up the same way.
