Hibbing, MN
Located in the heart of Bob Dylan country, under the never-ending Minnesota skies, Hibbing is a place where any city-weary renter would be happy to call home. Finding a new rental way out here can be tough, though, so we’re here to alleviate some of those problems.
Hibbing is a strange mix of country and creativity, snowed-in ingenuity, and silly small town quirkiness. From a city center of aging brick buildings, the city limits stretch out over 186 square miles, which gives locals plenty of room to play. Live music, ice fishing, hunting, hockey, cross country skiing, and football (go Vikings!) are the main pass times around here, and the annual Dylan Days festivities are just the icing on the cake. If this sounds like a slice of Minnesota-paradise, then you’ll be especially happy to know that local rentals are very affordable.
Cheap apartments can be found for less than $400. In the $400 to $800 range are some really nice rental homes, and anything over $800 is a spoil-you-rotten property rental that will make a hardworking miner feel like the Great Gatsby. There's plenty of different rental options out here, however, finding them can be difficult.
When it comes to amenities, most apartment communities are sometimes lacking. You can find a few places with a playground or picnic area, however most places offer nothing more than a parking spot. On-site laundry facilities are sort of an endangered species, so be prepared to buy a washer/dryer or find a place near the Laundromat.
Those moving to town with pets can rest easy knowing that Hibbing is full of pet-friendly property rentals. Even those with big dogs can find a happy home here, especially outside the city center where vast, open land leaves plenty of room for a good hike, or a game of fetch. Just be prepared to pay an extra $100 - $300 deposit.
Now that you've had a good read, it's time to see this city for yourself. Best of luck!
