Apartments Near Light Rail at the U of M
The METRO Green Line runs straight through campus. Living near it can replace a car and a parking contract. Here is how to use it.
The METRO Green Line runs directly through the University of Minnesota campus, with stations at West Bank, East Bank, and Stadium Village, and continues between downtown Minneapolis and downtown St. Paul. Living near a Green Line station, or in a neighborhood it serves like Prospect Park, lets many students skip the cost of a car and a campus parking contract. The free Campus Connector and Route 121 add coverage to St. Paul.

Let the train do the commute
Parking near campus is limited and a permit is a recurring cost. A community on or near the Green Line turns the commute into a short, predictable ride and removes the need for a car for daily campus trips. The line stops at West Bank, East Bank, and Stadium Village, so it reaches both banks of campus directly.
Beyond the campus stations, the Green Line connects to Prospect Park to the east and runs the length of the corridor between the two downtowns, which is also what makes it central to the MnCAP transfer-housing strategy.
