Anoka is a city along the eastern banks of the Mississippi River roughly 30 minutes north of Minneapolis. Anoka is known for all things spooky, as it’s coined the “Halloween Capital of the World.” The city held one the of the first Halloween parades in the country, and it continues to pay homage to the holiday with several parades happening through the month of October. During the other months, Anoka is characterized as a delightful Twin Cities suburb.
A resort-like golf course, tree-lined streets, and an exciting downtown corridor all complement the peaceful residential sections of the city. Head to East Main Street for an array of family-friendly dining and shopping spots. On the edge of downtown, Rum River features parks, trails, and the historic Rum River Dam. Of course, more outdoor recreation lies along the Mississippi River. If you’re looking to rent in a charming suburb with easy access to the Twin Cities, you’re looking in the right place!
