Anoka provides river living and Halloween fun
Anoka, a riverfront community in the northern Twin Cities metro, combines historic character with modern conveniences. The city calls itself the "Halloween Capital of the World," and people often decorate their bungalows, ramblers and New Traditional homes as part of its October celebration. There's plenty to do at parks along the Mississippi and Rum rivers, and students fall under a highly rated district. With a vibrant, walkable downtown packed with restaurants and shops, and simple commutes to Minneapolis and Saint Paul, there are plenty of reasons for buyers to say yes to Anoka.
What buyers can pay for the area's bungalows and ramblers
Anoka has more than 150 years of development, and plenty of housing styles have come to the area in that time, including bungalows, ramblers, Cape Cod homes and two-story New Traditional houses. Prices often range from the lower $200,000s to the upper $700,000s. Townhouses can run from the mid-$200,000s to the lower $400,000s. The area tends to be less expensive than nearby Ramsey, but is on par with neighboring Coon Rapids.

You can go boating and fishing on the Mississippi and Rum rivers
Anoka's parks take advantage of the city's position along the Rum and Mississippi rivers. At Rivers' Bend Park, visitors can explore trail runs, go fishing or play sports like basketball, soccer and tennis. Mississippi River Community Park is a popular spot for weddings and other special events, and there are several public boat launches throughout the region. The Rum River Regional Trail is a favorite of joggers and bikers and runs about 4 miles, connecting with the expansive Mississippi River Regional Trail. John Ward Park has a rocket-themed playground, and Rick Sorenson Park adds ice rinks and a warming house each winter.

The events calendar revolves around Anoka Halloween
Anoka earned the title "Halloween Capital of the World" by hosting one of the first community-wide Halloween celebrations in the country in 1920. Today, the Anoka Halloween festival lasts throughout October and includes parades, costume contests and a haunted house contest. Summer brings the Anoka Riverfest & Craft Fair, which fills downtown with artists, food vendors and live music each July. The free Rockin' on the Rum concert series runs weekly at several parks along the Rum River.
Students are zoned for Anoka-Hennepin Schools
Sudents fall under Anoka-Hennepin Schools, the largest school district in Minnesota and a highly rated one. Anoka High School has a STEAM program that uses project-based learning to explore connections between creativity and technology. Nearby private options include St. Stephen's Catholic School.

201 Tavern, a modern American restaurant with a beer garden
Ambi Wine Bar, a chic space that serves wine from around the world and several desserts
