Loring Park Arts & Culture

Oh, that park we mentioned earlier? It's only known as "the best-located, best-financed, best-designed, and best-maintained public open space in America." Loring Park (the actual park) is truly the heart of the neighborhood. All year round, residents enjoy an array of festivals, films, concerts, and community activities in this natural haven. Whether you're attending the "Movies in the Park" series, decorating your Loring Park apartment with goods from the art fair, or simply going for a stroll through the famous sculpture garden, you'll probably find yourself frequenting the park as most residents do.

If you're looking for more cultural entertainment, check out the Walker Museum and Community Arts center. Additionally, apartments in Loring Park are just a walk or bike ride to Uptown and Downtown. From the Orchestra Hall to the Theater District, the rich culture of MPLS is never far from your apartment.

Loring Park Food & Nightlife

The neighborhood of Loring Park is very small, less than a square mile in fact. It is densely populated, and has a lot of housing, but it doesn't have a ton of commercial areas. The neighborhood itself is spattered with some small restaurants, boutiques, and markets throughout.

When it comes to getting all your groceries, going on a shopping spree, or having a ton of restaurant and bar options at your fingertips, you'll want to head next door to the Nicollet Mall. Just a short walk through the Loring Greenway will lead you to all the culture, nightlife, and delicious food you could want. Or if you're tired of the downtown scene, a short walk in the opposite direction will lead you to Uptown, where there are plenty of other options for bars, restaurants, and clubs.

So it's a toss-up! There won't be a crazy restaurant and bar scene right next to your apartment in Loring Park, but then again everything you could possibly want is within a fifteen minute walk. If you're someone that wants to walk out of your home and into a bar then you should look to the North Loop neighborhood of MPLS, but if you don't mind a little (and we mean little) bit of exercise, then Loring Park is a 10!
