Studio Homes for Rent in Seward

Seward, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Minneapolis, overlooks the Mississippi River southeast of downtown. The neighborhood is bordered by Hiawatha Avenue, Interstate 94, and the Midtown Greenway, giving the area an intimate vibe despite its proximity to the city center. Sweard is known for its extensive biking and walking trails, which surround more than half the community. Home styles here reflect the late 19th-century development, featuring stucco and stone bungalows, prairie styles, Craftsman cottages, minimal traditional styles and Victorian homes. Unique to Seward are the colorful brick homes along the pedestrian-only Milwaukee Avenue, originally built for railroad workers in the 1870s. Dining options are plentiful, with locally owned restaurants like Café Racer Kitchen, Pizza Lucé and Rebecca’s Bakery & Café lining East Franklin Avenue. For groceries, residents frequent the Seward Community Co-op and the Minnehaha Center. Annual events like Seward Yard Sale Days foster a strong community spirit. Matthews Park & Recreation Center, Merwyn Triangle Park and Franklin Terrace Off-Leash Dog Park provide ample space for outdoor recreation. Seward is just 2 miles from downtown, 3 miles from the metro and less than 8 miles from Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport.
