Uptown is a renter’s paradise. Scads of groovy new apartment buildings have opened recently, offering a wide range of amenities. Even though with nearly 600 units it falls into the mega category, we like Elan Uptown because of its location directly adjacent to the Midtown Greenway. It also has one of the best amenity packages in the neighborhood, and with LEED Silver Certification, it takes sustainability to a new level. 2837 Dupont Av. S., Mpls.; 1-877-650-3526, elanuptown.com
