Minneapolis is a city of balance—nature and skyline, culture and calm. In this vibrant setting, Waterbury House offers a refined take on apartment living, blending thoughtful design with everyday ease. Located in the heart of West Lake Village, just steps from Bde Maka Ska (formerly Lake Calhoun), Waterbury House isn’t just a place to live—it’s a lifestyle-centered apartment community built for those who appreciate comfort, quality, and connection.

A Residence Designed to Feel Like Home

Unlike many new developments that rely on standard-issue interiors and mass appeal, Waterbury House was designed with a more intentional philosophy. The interiors were developed in collaboration with designers who typically work outside of traditional multifamily housing—resulting in spaces that feel personal, grounded, and curated.

Each residence is finished with the kind of detail you’d expect to choose for yourself: warm woods, quartz countertops, architectural lighting, and cabinetry that reflects timeless style. The kitchens are not just functional—they’re made for living, for hosting, for slowing down over a glass of wine or preparing something inspired.

West Lake Village: Urban Living, Lakeside Energy

Set between Bde Maka Ska (formerly Lake Calhoun) and Lake of the Isles, these Minneapolis apartments offer direct access to the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes while still being minutes from Uptown’s dining and cultural scene. The surrounding neighborhood is among the most walkable in the city, offering residents proximity to walking and biking trails, beach volleyball, sailing, paddleboarding, and some of the city’s most beloved restaurants and shops.

With Bde Maka Ska’s vibrant shoreline just steps away, residents enjoy the benefits of lakeside living in a neighborhood that honors both natural beauty and urban convenience. And for longtime locals, the connection to Lake Calhoun remains part of the area’s history and identity.

The Rooftop: Your Private Escape Above It All

Waterbury House’s rooftop experience—The Waterbury Club—elevates daily living with spaces to relax, socialize, or simply take in the view. With a rooftop pool and hot tub, firepits, grilling stations, and panoramic views of Bde Maka Ska (formerly Lake Calhoun), it’s the kind of amenity that makes staying in feel more rewarding than going out.

Inside, the lounge offers a welcoming extension of your home—ideal for casual get-togethers, game nights, or unwinding after work.

Dining Downstairs: A Restaurant That Feels Like a Social Club

At the heart of Waterbury House is its on-site, chef-led restaurant, a space that has become a gathering point not just for residents but for the neighborhood. Open day and night, it offers thoughtfully prepared meals, crafted cocktails, and a vibrant ambiance.

Every Wednesday from 7–10 p.m., the restaurant hosts live jazz and rotating local musicians, bringing energy, warmth, and a sense of culture to your midweek routine. Whether you’re enjoying a quiet coffee in the morning or entertaining guests in the evening, having this experience just an elevator ride away changes the way you live.

Everyday Amenities, Exceptionally Delivered

Thoughtful details are everywhere at Waterbury House. From the state-of-the-art fitness center and rooftop yoga lawn to controlled access entry and on-site concierge services, every element has been designed to make life feel smoother and more intentional.

Residents of these thoughtfully designed apartments can host with ease, enjoy spa-like spaces, or simply move through their day knowing that the building was created to anticipate their needs—not just react to them.

A More Considered Way to Live

Choosing to live at Waterbury House isn’t about chasing trends—it’s about finding a home that mirrors your values. A home where design has purpose. Where the materials feel lasting. Where neighbors connect over coffee or music.

It’s urban living, yes—but with room to breathe, think, and gather. And in a city like Minneapolis—where the seasons change and the lakes reflect the sky—it’s the perfect place to live in rhythm with it all.

From walks around Bde Maka Ska (formerly Lake Calhoun) to cocktails on the rooftop, life at Waterbury House offers a connection to both the city and the lake that few residences can match.

Everything in the penthouse kitchens is chosen with care, from the textures and tones of the cabinetry to the performance of the appliances. The space is graceful, grounded, and ready for whatever the day brings.

Everyday Living, Beautifully Supported
