It is an ideal fit for renters who want the full range of city life close at hand.
• Edina / 50th and France: Directly adjacent to Linden Hills just across the city line, the 50th and France district offers upscale dining, independent shops, and everyday services in one of the Twin Cities' most refined neighborhood retail corridors. Quick commutes to Downtown Minneapolis and a quieter, established character make it consistently desirable for renters.
