I was showing unit #6 last week when something caught my attention. The tenant from #4 was outside grilling burgers, and he called over, “Hey, want one? I always make extra for neighbors!” That’s the kind of place this is – where people actually share food with strangers because that’s just how things are done here.

The Space That Feels Like Home
When you walk in, you’ll notice the fresh paint first – that clean, new-apartment smell that makes everything feel fresh. The LED light fixtures might sound like a small thing, but they make the whole space feel brighter and more modern. The dining room is actually big enough for a real table – not just a corner with two chairs. And that shared outside area? It’s become this unofficial community gathering spot where people actually talk to each other instead of just scrolling on their phones.

The Practical Perks of Small-Town Living
The off-street parking means no digging your car out of a snowbank come winter. The bike rack gets used more than you’d think – Hector’s the kind of town where you can actually bike to the grocery store if you want to. Being just blocks from Highway 212 means you can get to work quickly, but you’re far enough away that you don’t hear the traffic at night.

Straight Talk About Living Here
The baseboard heating works well for Minnesota winters, and the wall unit AC handles our humid summers just fine. The shared laundry facility is clean and well-maintained – I’ve never seen it out of order. The $800 security deposit is standard, but that RHINO deposit insurance option can be a game-changer if cash is tight.

The application requirements are straightforward: 600 credit score, 2.5 times the rent in income. But what that really means is you’ll have neighbors who pay their bills and take care of their homes.

The Pet Policy That Makes Sense
They’re genuinely pet-friendly here. The 30-pound limit and breed restrictions are pretty standard, but the fact that they allow two pets is better than most places. I’ve seen everything from beagles to tabby cats in these units, and they all seem pretty happy with their shared outdoor space.

The Little Things That Matter
There’s something about this building that feels… cared for. Maybe it’s the fresh paint in the hallways. Maybe it’s the way the management actually responds when you have a question. Or maybe it’s just that feeling you get when you realize you’ve found a place where $800 still gets you a decent two-bedroom apartment in 2025.

The current tenants take good care of the place – we’re just asking that you respect their privacy until they move out in December.

Come see for yourself. Walk through the rooms, imagine where you’d put your furniture, picture yourself grilling out back with the neighbors. Notice how the guy from #4 offers you a burger. That’s the kind of welcome you can expect here.
