When editors and writers across Minneapolis describe the area’s most luxe experience, Waterbury House consistently tops the list. Not just another high-end address, it’s widely praised as a boutique-style residence where architectural vision meets top-tier amenities.
A Bold Architectural Statement
The Scout Guide summed it up aptly:
- “Waterbury House isn’t just any Minneapolis apartment building, it’s a neighborhood, only this neighborhood inhabits a unique, luxury residence. Its triangular shape… commands attention and yields breathtaking, sweeping views of the city.” –The Scout Guide
That distinctive Flatiron-like silhouette sets Waterbury House apart in both design and presence. The clean lines, floor-to-ceiling windows, and thoughtful finishes help contextualize why publications are labeling it among the most elevated penthouse residences in Minneapolis.
What Mpls.St.Paul Magazine Is Saying
In its Suite Up feature, Mpls.St.Paul Magazine said Waterbury House “raises the bar in Minneapolis penthouse apartments,” highlighting each residence—like the Wilmore—as embodiments of refined style and quiet functionality.
These quotes echo broader sentiment: Waterbury House feels upscale without pretension, a deliberate design at every level.
Amenities That Impress
Numerous profiles—including coverage on ApartmentHomeLiving and Rentable—list standout amenities including:
- A heated rooftop pool with skyline views
- Concierge services and valet-level package handling

- Parking Matrix automated multi-car system for residents
- A rooftop, outdoor kitchen for hosting people
Putting these together creates an experience rarely seen outside boutique hotels—within reach of everyday life at Waterbury House.
Live Like a Resident, Not a Tourist
The Scout Guide described the environment perfectly:
- “Waterbury House’s goal? For its residents to live like they’re in a hotel, without living in a hotel.”-The Scout Guide
It isn’t about posing—it’s about amenities, design, service, and neighborhood connection combining for something both elevated and approachable.
