Known for its quality of life, Minneapolis-St. Paul may be the ideal area for seniors looking for assisted living facilities. You'll find a diversity of neighborhoods, good metro transportation and lots of green space. And you'll find some of the best health care in the country.
If you're not familiar with Minneapolis-St. Paul, you may be in for a little sticker shock. The cost of living is 14% above the national average, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Taxes are among some of the highest in the country at 10.3% for state and local taxes alone. Retirees pensions, including federal pensions, are taxable by Minnesota regardless of where your pension was earned. There is no inheritance tax and a limited estate tax related to federal estate tax collection.
Assisted living facilities in the metro area vary in price according to type of unit (1 or 2 bedroom, studio, etc.) and services (meals, transportation, housekeeping, et al). For example, a basic one bedroom with no amenities may run $600 a month while a 2 bedroom with all the amenities will charge up to $4,000 a month. Most facilities require a security deposit from $300 up to $1,500. The average cost for a one-bedroom assisted living facility is $3,540. For a private room in a nursing home: $239 a day.
Need help deciding where to live in this vast metro area? Here are some ideas: The Como neighborhood has tree-lined streets, bus connections to downtown, and a number of community gardens. The Phillips/Midtown area has good transportation (Lake St. metro stop), the Midtown Greenway—a 5.5-mile corridor of biking and walking trails, and the Abbott Northwestern Hospital. In the St. Anthony neighborhood on the east bank of the Mississippi, you'll find seven churches, the Pierre Bottineau Library, and Boom Island Park. Check out our listings for River Village East and Main Street Lodge, two assisted living facilities in the area.
