The Yards and Backyards

Introducing The Yards and Backyards Apartments, a convergence of the contemporary, the classic, and the natural. We’re a brand-new community in the historic Stockyard area where urban luxury meets the Mississippi River Bluffs. So, let our South St. Paul apartments wrap you in high-end comfort through their wealth of amenities and sought-after location.

Sophisticated yet welcoming, our apartments in South St. Paul are built to impress. Elegance abounds throughout, from the 9-foot ceilings to the plank-wood floors. The floor-to-ceiling windows bathe your home in natural sunlight while the well-equipped kitchen gives full reign to your inner foodie, thanks to its stainless-steel appliances that include a dishwasher and self-cleaning stove. Plus, the full-sized washer/dryer and walk-in closet make laundry days a breeze. Select homes also sport quartz countertops and islands, as well as balconies or patios that open to scenic views of the Mississippi River.

Spend your free time on your own terms. Make a splash at the pool and perfect your tan on the deck. Heat up the grills and throw scenic BBQ parties on the sky lounge, then roast some s’mores around the fireplace as the city lights glow in the background. Come morning, you can stay in shape at the fitness center, then relax in the spa or hot tub. And rest assured that your productivity will flourish at the business center featuring a conference room. Plus, you’ll also enjoy off-street and covered parking.

The Yards and Backyards lives up to its name, both nestled near verdant parks and close to the booming Downtown. Right off I-494 and Highway 61, our luxury apartments in South St. Paul also connect you to Minneapolis and Bloomington, as well as major employers such as The University of Minnesota.
