Located in the heart of Dinkytown, the 66-unit Fourth Street Housing Co-op provides an affordable, cooperative student housing option within walking distance of the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus.

In addition to a variety of unit layouts from studios to three bedrooms, the building has a complete fitness room, a resident gathering space, and a bike room with storage racks and easy street-level access. The nearly 2,500 square feet of retail space on the ground floor supports the neighborhood’s desire to expand Dinkytown’s commercial core.

Moving away from the more subtle facades of surrounding buildings, Fourth Street Housing Co-op uses a palette of yellows to create a playful presence in the neighborhood.
