He is looking forward to meeting new people. Looking for someone clean, respectful, reliable, and easy to live with.

Flat share | Dinkytown, Minneapolis, MN, USA
Hi! I am trying to sublet my room in the Northstar dinkytown apartment complex. It’s $780 a month and you’d get a private room and share a bathroom with one other person. There’s two boys on the umn cheer team and one girl living in the other rooms and they are all very friendly and open to meeting people! It’s also in a very safe and quiet area right behind the athletes village and has free parking down the street if you want! Please let me know if you’re interested or have any questions! (Also if the rent is slightly out of budget I’d be willing to pay a small portion of it each month)

Anoka County's largest city has one of the smallest rental bases in the north metro, and that is the first thing to understand about searching here. Coon Rapids holds 63,468 residents across roughly 25,144 housing units, but 74.8 percent of them are owner-occupied - only about a quarter of the housing stock is rented at all. So the room supply is thin relative to the population, and a sensible search usually reaches into Blaine, Andover and Fridley as well. Roomster shows 45 rooms for rent around the city, spread across ZIP codes 55433 and 55448.
Across the wider Anoka County search the range runs about $750 to $1,400, but rooms inside Coon Rapids itself cluster tightly near $800, and nearly all of them quote with utilities folded in - several with internet included too. That bundling matters more here than it would in a warmer state, because heat through a Minnesota winter is the cost that swings a budget. You can find rooms under $900 a month in the 55433 blocks off Coon Rapids Boulevard, near Anoka-Ramsey Community College, and toward Northdale Boulevard. Against a local one-bedroom at $1,337, a typical room here costs a little over half as much.
Yes, and it is the single most common reason people search for a room in this city. Mercy Hospital on Coon Rapids Boulevard NW is a 471-bed Allina Health facility with a Level II Trauma Center and roughly 1,860 employees, making it the largest employer in Coon Rapids by a wide margin. One detail worth knowing before you pick a room: Mercy and Unity operate as a single hospital across two campuses, one here and one in Fridley, so staff are not always working at the address they were hired to. A room on the Coon Rapids Boulevard side or toward the southeast of the city keeps both campuses within a reasonable drive rather than committing you to one.
There is no train any more, and any listing that still advertises one is out of date. Northstar Commuter Rail ran its last service on Sunday, January 4, 2026, and the very next day Metro Transit opened an expanded bus network in its place. Route 888 is the corridor service covering Ramsey, Anoka and Coon Rapids, running every 30 minutes through the peaks - 6:30 to 8:30 in the morning and 3 to 5 in the afternoon - and hourly the rest of the day, with weekend service the train never offered. In trip terms the corridor went from roughly 40 train trips a week to around 400 bus trips a week, so day-to-day coverage improved even though the rail line closed. Away from that corridor, across 22.60 square miles at only 2,814 people per square mile, you will still want a car.
The older, western 55433 side of the city is where the affordable rooms sit - the blocks around Coon Rapids Boulevard and Northdale Boulevard, closer to the Mississippi and to Anoka-Ramsey Community College. Prices step up toward the Riverdale end in the northeast, where the newer buildings sit near Riverdale Village, the open-air center at US-10 and Round Lake Boulevard NW that has anchored that side of town with more than 75 stores since 1999. If nothing in the city fits, the room listings immediately over the line in Blaine and Andover price similarly.
Ask whether the house holds a current city rental license, because Coon Rapids requires one and plenty of casual room arrangements do not have it. Under the city's rental licensing code, every rental property must be licensed before tenants move in - single-family homes included, and licensed properties are inspected on a one, two or three year cycle depending on the property's own inspection history. In a city where three-quarters of homes are owner-occupied, a large share of available rooms are spare bedrooms in houses whose owners have never registered them, so the question is a fair one and the answer tells you something about how the place is run. Beyond that, the usual care: see the room in person or on video, get whatever agreement exists in writing, and never send a deposit to someone you have not met.
Renting a room in Coon Rapids, MN, can be a great option for students, young professionals, and new residents seeking affordable and flexible housing. Whether you want a private room or prefer a shared apartment, understanding your budget, lease options, and neighborhood fit will help you make a confident choice. This guide covers key factors to consider before you rent a room in Coon Rapids and how to use Roomster to find listings that match your needs.
Coon Rapids offers a variety of rooms for rent that cater to different lifestyles and budgets. Many renters look for rooms near downtown Coon Rapids for easy access to public transit and commute options. The city’s mix of private rooms and shared apartments suits those wanting more privacy or those open to room sharing to reduce costs. Renters often prioritize amenities like laundry access and parking, especially if they commute to nearby areas.
Budget-wise, rooms in Coon Rapids tend to be more affordable compared to larger metro areas, but prices vary based on the room’s privacy, furnishing status, and lease flexibility. Month-to-month room rentals and short-term leases are increasingly popular for those needing flexibility, such as students or professionals on temporary assignments.
When searching for rooms for rent, focusing on your preferred neighborhoods and commute routes can save time and help you find the right fit. Consider these tips:
Using Roomster’s filters for these features can help you quickly find listings that meet your preferences in Coon Rapids.
Before committing to a room rental, compare important factors to ensure the best match:
Taking time to ask about these details can help avoid surprises after moving in.
Room rentals come with risks if you’re not careful. Protect yourself by following these guidelines:
These steps help you avoid scams and ensure a smooth renting experience in Coon Rapids.
Budget varies based on room type, location, and amenities. Private rooms generally cost more than shared rooms, and furnished or utilities-included options may have higher rent. Plan your budget with some flexibility depending on your preferred neighborhood and lease terms.
Private rooms offer more privacy and often a private bathroom but tend to be pricier. Shared rooms reduce costs and may include shared living spaces. Choose based on your budget, need for privacy, and comfort with roommates.
Ask about lease length, deposit requirements, utilities included, house rules, parking availability, laundry access, and roommate expectations. Clarify move-in dates and any fees upfront.
Start your search at least 30 to 60 days before your desired move-in date to find a good selection. Flexible lease options and furnished rooms may be available on shorter notice, but earlier searching gives more choices.
