Encore Apartments in Forest Lake, MN
Pool, fitness center, movie room and an internet cafe, home to our office.
Welcome to Encore Apartments
Encore was built in 2020 for people who want a little more from home. Cook at a granite island, then take dinner out to your balcony. Spend summer afternoons at the pool, catch a movie in the private theater, and let the dog run in the dog park. In January, a spot in the heated garage means no scraping the windshield, and our leasing team works right downstairs.
