Overview and Location
The Knoll Dinkytown is a student housing property located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, at 55414 within the Dinkytown neighborhood. Dinkytown sits adjacent to the University of Minnesota campus, making it a common residential area for university students. The property offers furnished apartments in studio, one‑bedroom, two‑bedroom, and four‑bedroom layouts. Monthly rents range from $752 to $1,494 — these are indicative rates and should be confirmed directly with the operator. The property has a Google rating of 3.7 out of 5 from 149 reviews, reflecting generally positive resident feedback on space and staff.
On‑site amenities include a game room, a study lounge, and bike storage. The building is served by a bus stop immediately outside, which simplifies winter commutes to campus — a practical advantage in Minneapolis’s colder months.
Who Is The Knoll Dinkytown For?
Suits: This residence works well for students who prioritize location and generous interior space. The four‑bedroom, four‑bathroom units are large by student housing standards, offering private bathrooms and ample storage. Groups of students who want their own rooms and bathrooms without paying for a separate studio or one‑bedroom will find the 4‑bed option cost‑efficient for the square footage. Residents who value a responsive maintenance team and a friendly front desk staff will appreciate the management described in reviews.
Does not suit: The Knoll is not the cheapest option in Minneapolis. The city’s overall student housing from‑price (the lowest advertised monthly rent among comparable properties) is $364. At $752, the Knoll’s entry price is roughly double that lower bound. Budget‑conscious students who do not need such a central Dinkytown location may find less expensive units elsewhere. The property is also currently listed with a “not_available” tag, meaning it may not be taking new bookings at this time — prospective tenants should verify availability directly.

“The Knoll is a great place to live as a college student. They have an extremely nice staff including the people at the front and the maintenance.

Room Types and Pricing
The Knoll Dinkytown offers four unit types, each with different price ranges (indicative — confirm with the operator):
- Studio – typically the most compact layout, suitable for one person who wants an open floor plan. Prices start near the lower end of the overall range.
- One‑bedroom (1b) – a separate bedroom and living area, for individuals or couples. Pricing falls in the mid‑range.
- Two‑bedroom (2b) – roommate arrangement for two people. Likely priced below the four‑bedroom per person but with shared common spaces.
- Four‑bedroom (4b) – largest unit type, with four private bedrooms and four private bathrooms. The highest total rent but potentially the best value per person if all four slots are filled. The four‑bedroom is the most frequently praised in reviews for its generous square footage.
Pricing versus the city from‑price ($364): The Knoll’s minimum $752 is roughly 2.1 times the city’s lowest advertised monthly rent. Among 16 student housing properties tracked in Minneapolis, the Knoll sits in the middle‑upper tier for price. Students on a tighter budget may want to look at properties with lower minimums, while those who value location and space will find the Knoll’s pricing competitive for the Dinkytown area.
Booking Timing for 2026/2027
The property’s “not_available” tag suggests it may not be currently open for new move‑ins. For the 2026/2027 academic year, availability will depend on whether the operator reopens applications. If you are interested, contact the property management directly several months in advance — ideally by early spring 2026 for a fall 2026 lease. Student housing in Dinkytown tends to fill quickly because of the proximity to campus, so early inquiry is recommended. No specific lease length or available‑from date is provided in the data; ask the operator about minimum lease terms and move‑in windows.
