There is an undeniable allure to homeownership—the idea of a space that reflects your lifestyle, with the finest finishes, tailored interiors, and a sense of permanence. But for many, the realities of ownership can feel more restrictive than liberating. Property taxes, maintenance costs, fluctuating market values, and the commitment of staying in one place long-term often overshadow the appeal.

Waterbury House offers a solution: condo-level living, without the obligations of buying. Here, residents experience the same attention to detail, expansive floor plans, and refined amenities found in high-end condominiums, with the added benefit of flexibility. No mortgage, no unexpected repairs, no long-term constraints—just a home designed for elevated living, in one of Minneapolis’ most desirable neighborhoods.
