Known for its beautiful, natural landscapes and friendly neighbors, the Minnesota-St. Paul area is home to retirees who are looking for a way to stay connected to the state they love. If you can tolerate the cold winters, then Minneapolis has a lot to offer; close enough to hiking and kayaking but without sacrificing the cool arts & music scene and the conveniences of urban living. For older adults and those looking for a high end senior living community in Minneapolis and surrounding areas, there are a surprising number of options. We've compiled a roundup that includes not only the best assisted living facilities in the area, but the ones that provide a truly distinctive experience.

Retiring in Minneapolis

While there are some downsides to retiring in Minneapolis, like the harsh winters and the partial taxes on Social Security income, there are also plenty of perks of living in the twin cities. In addition to excellent shopping and dining, the cities are full of cultural opportunities and outstanding health services. The world renowned Mayo Clinic is just over an hour south of the cities, meaning you're always close to world class providers and specialists.
 

The best senior living in Minneapolis

The right senior living community can enhance your retirement lifestyle. When you move to a senior living community, Minnesota’s frigid winters are suddenly much more tolerable thanks to heated underground parking and complimentary snow shoveling! Add friendly neighbors, "Minnesota Nice" and luxury amenities to the mix, and you have an ideal location to truly enjoy retirement. We’ve rounded up a few of the best senior living options in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the surrounding suburbs.
