Our founders started as University of Minnesota as student-athletes renting houses in Dinkytown. Over time, what began with a few rentals grew into one of the largest providers of locally owned off-campus housing near the UMN.<\/p>\n

Today, GoGopher Rentals manages hundreds of homes across Dinkytown, Como, Marcy-Holmes, Prospect Park, and Stadium Village \u2014 from brand-new apartments to classic student houses.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”bottom” el_class=”green-headings” css=”.vc_custom_1759107690019{background-image: url(https:\/\/gogopherdinkytown.com\/development\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/gogopher-home-mint-background.webp?id=122) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

What sets us apart<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Local Ownership<\/h5>\n

We\u2019re not a corporate landlord three states away. We live here, work here, and know the UMN community inside and out.<\/p>\n

Wide Variety<\/h5>\n

Houses for roommate crews, modern apartments for grad students, and everything in between.<\/p>\n

In-House Team<\/h5>\n

Maintenance, construction, and support all under one roof \u2014 with quick, responsive service you can count on.<\/p>\n

Student first<\/h5>\n

We know what it\u2019s like to be a student at UMN, because we\u2019ve been there.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1759107319495{padding-top: 8rem !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/gogopherdinkytown.com\/development\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/gogopher-about-us-wide-selection-jof-homes.webp?id=278) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”279″ img_size=”306×81″ alignment=”center” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
