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.

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.

Luxury Living, Redefined

Luxury is no longer just about square footage—it’s about effortless convenience, thoughtfully curated spaces, and experiences that extend beyond your front door. As high-end renting becomes the preferred choice for those seeking flexibility without compromise, a new standard of apartment living has emerged.

At Waterbury House, the difference is in the details. From sky-high social lounges to chef-driven dining, this is more than a place to live—it’s a destination.

A Rooftop Designed for Living, Not Just Viewing

There’s something about being above it all. The Waterbury Club, our private rooftop terrace, isn’t just a space—it’s a social haven. By day, it’s a sun-drenched retreat with a rooftop pool, daybeds, and an uninterrupted view of the Minneapolis lakes. By night, it transforms into a curated gathering space—fire pits glowing, cocktails flowing, and conversations unfolding under city lights.

Step inside the Sky Lounge, where entertaining spaces, a gaming area, and intimate seating create an atmosphere reminiscent of an exclusive members-only club. With grill stations, dining spaces, and private nooks for unwinding, the rooftop at Waterbury House is designed for those who expect more than just a view.

Concierge Services That Redefine Hospitality

Service shouldn’t feel transactional. At Waterbury House, concierge service is about thoughtful, intuitive living—the small details that make everyday life seamless. Whether securing hard-to-get reservations, coordinating guest arrivals, or handling your deliveries, the concierge team is there to anticipate and accommodate.

For those who value privacy, Waterbury House offers controlled access entry, a private lobby, and on-site parking for residents and guests. Access to the fitness center, rooftop club, and pet-friendly green spaces is reserved for those who call Waterbury House home—ensuring a level of tranquility that’s increasingly rare in urban living.

An On-Site Chef

There’s something inherently luxurious about having a restaurant in your building. The Waterbury Restaurant & Bar takes this concept to new heights—bringing a chef-led, all-day dining experience directly to residents. Whether it’s a morning espresso, a business lunch, or an intimate dinner, the restaurant serves as both a social hub and a personal retreat.

For those who prefer to dine in, meals can be delivered anywhere in the building—your apartment, the rooftop terrace, or a fireside lounge. Hosting guests? The restaurant offers private dining options, creating an effortless way to entertain without ever leaving home.

Custom Kitchens, Because Every Detail Matters
