Brooklyn Center has a water tower that overlooks the city.
Brooklyn Center is a welcoming Twin Cities suburb
Banners displaying the smiling faces of Brooklyn Center’s residents line its streets, paying tribute to the people who give this Twin Cities suburb its welcoming atmosphere. You’ll see neighbors enjoying a meal at one of the city’s many restaurants or walking together along the extensive trail system. There are also several events throughout the year, from the annual Juneteenth Celebration to the recurring Entertainment in the Park series. Commuters are within 10 miles of Minneapolis and 20 miles of Saint Paul.
Homes that generally cost less than surrounding suburbs
Most of the suburb’s homes were built in the mid- to late 20th century, including ranch-style houses and Garrison Colonials. You’ll also find some New Traditional homes and townhouses. Single-family prices generally range from the low $200,000s to the mid-$500,000s, while townhouses cost between the mid-$100,000s and the high $200,000s. The median sale price is in the mid-$100,000s, well below that of nearby communities like Brooklyn Park. “For a first-time homebuyer, it’s great,” says Mayor April Graves. “You can get into homeownership, build equity, which then builds generational wealth.”
Ranch-style homes with attached garages are common.
Many homes date back to the mid-20th century.

Brooklyn Center’s restaurant scene offers a lot of variety. Here is a taste of what’s available:
Captain Crab, which is known for its seafood boil
50’s Grill, a retro diner with a well-known chicken pot pie
Jambo Africa Restaurant, which serves traditional Kenyan, Nigerian and Liberian dishes
Que Viet Village House III, the longest-running Vietnamese restaurant in the state
Restaurants, shops and other businesses are concentrated along Brooklyn Boulevard or at Shingle Creek Crossing, the city’s largest shopping center. There, you can find grocery options like Cub or Empire Foods.
50's Grill is a community staple with a retro vibe.

People soak up the sun at Centennial Park
Part of Brooklyn Center’s charm comes from its outdoor amenities. “Even though it’s not a huge area, land-wise, a lot of it has been preserved,” Graves says. Centennial Park is the heart of the city’s recreation and has a playground and lighted softball fields. You can access the 8-mile-long Shingle Creek Regional Trail from Centennial Park. This multiuse path goes through most of the city, passing the Brookdale Library and the local community center before entering Palmer Lake Park. Here, you can walk through over 200 acres of marshland along the water. Golfers can practice their swings at the Centerbrook Golf Course, a nine-hole public course.

Osseo Area Schools is one of four districts serving Brooklyn Center
Depending on where you live, you can send your kids to one of four public school districts. Options include:
Anoka-Hennepin School District, which earns an A-minus from Niche
Brooklyn Center Community Schools, a smaller district that receives a C-minus
Osseo Area Schools, a B-plus rated district with highly rated schools
Robbinsdale Area Schools, a B-minus-rated district with a kindergarten-through-12th-grade International Baccalaureate Programme
While your assigned district is based on your home address, Graves says, “No matter where you live in the city, there are options to apply for the lottery for magnet schools.”
Garden City Elementary is located just off of Brooklyn Boulevard in the heart of Brooklyn Center.
Students can start their education at Garden City Elementary School.

Brooklyn Center's events bring the community together
Brooklyn Center has a full calendar of events that encourage people to get together and celebrate with their community. Some of the highlights are:
The Juneteenth Celebration, which the city plans in partnership with Brooklyn Park
Entertainment in the Park, a seasonal series of free concerts and movie nights at Centennial Park
Arts in Autumn, an annual festival with family-friendly crafts at Lions Park
BC Bike Bash, a yearly bike ride that loops from Centennial Park to Palmer Lake and back
Snow Many Traditions, a winter celebration with holiday crafts and a visit from Santa
Graves says these events are part of what gives the city its sense of community. “I recognize that places that are welcoming, that offer a place of belonging to everybody, no matter what they look like or where they came from, are places that everybody wants to be,” she says.
Interstates and rapid buses make it easy to commute to the Twin Cities
Interstates 94 and 694 meet in Brooklyn Center, giving residents a clear path to the Twin Cities. You can reach downtown Minneapolis in about 10 miles (20 minutes) and Downtown Saint Paul in about 20 miles (40 minutes). Many people opt for public transportation, especially with Metro Transit’s C and D rapid buses stopping at the Brooklyn Center Transit Center.
Local Highway 694 runs through Brooklyn Center, connecting it to the larger Twin Cities Metro Area.
Riders embark at the bustling Brooklyn Center Transit Center.
