Strategic location with diverse transit options
While Old Shakopee Park North is situated in a primarily car-dependent area, it offers a variety of transportation options to cater to different needs. For those who rely on public transit, the nearest bus stop is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk away at 98th St E & Portland Ave S. This provides a connection to the broader Metro Transit system, allowing access to various parts of the Twin Cities metropolitan area.
For longer journeys or trips to the city center, residents can drive about 10 minutes to reach the Mall Of America Station. This transit hub is part of the Hiawatha Line, offering light rail service that connects directly to downtown Minneapolis and other key areas of the city. This option is particularly useful for commuters or those looking to explore the city without the hassle of parking.
One of the most significant transportation advantages of Old Shakopee Park North is its proximity to the Minneapolis-St Paul International Airport.

For residents who prefer to drive, the condominium's location offers good access to major roadways. While not immediately adjacent to highways, the area's street network provides relatively quick connections to main arteries like Interstate 35W and Interstate 494, facilitating travel throughout the Twin Cities region.
Cyclists will find the area somewhat bikeable, with some infrastructure in place. The nearby Mound Springs Park offers bike trails for recreational riding, and there are efforts to improve biking conditions in the broader Bloomington area.
