Homes with water views and access to great schools in Riverview
Riverview flows alongside the Mississippi River in Brooklyn Park, a suburb about 10 miles north of Minneapolis. Two major highways border the neighborhood, which offers access to top-notch schools and scenic parks. “Anoka-Hennepin is a highly rated school district, so people want to be there for that,” says Paul Ekstrom, broker and owner at Realty One Group, who’s been selling in the region since 2006. “Brooklyn Park is a very busy, highly populated suburb of the Twin Cities, but that area is buffered by a lot of parkland and the river.”
Riverview is a leafy suburb located 10 miles north of Minneapolis.
Mississippi Gateway Regional Park features scenic overlooks and biking paths.

Homes date to the late 20th century in Riverview
Raised ranch-style and contemporary homes with attached garages line the small network of residential streets. Most builds date to the late 20th century and include land parcels measuring at least a third of an acre. Sidewalks are rare, and streets don’t have much shoulder on either side, so navigating on foot can be difficult, especially in winter. Although the neighborhood is primarily residential, home sales are infrequent. Recently, townhomes sold for $300,000 to $325,000, and ranch-style and contemporary homes sold for $350,000 to $450,000. Homes with riverfront access might be priced slightly higher, yet they’ll likely be less expensive than comparable ones in neighborhoods farther north. “In that area south of the 610, there’ll be older houses along the river,” Ekstrom says. “North of the 610, you’re looking at more upper-bracket housing.” Some riverfront homes offer views of Banfill Island, a natural area owned by the University of Minnesota. Buyers should note that residents who live close to the major highways might be subject to high noise levels, particularly during the morning and evening commutes.
Many raised ranch-style homes in Riverview feature a wide footprint and brick foundation.

Two major state highways connect north of Minneapolis
Minnesota State Highways 252 and 610 connect in the northeastern corner of the neighborhood, with 252 providing the best starting point for the 10-mile commute to central Minneapolis. Metro Transit buses stop on West River Road to shuttle passengers around the Twin Cities. Travelers have a 23-mile drive to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. The closest major medical center is Mercy Hospital’s Unity Campus, about 7 miles away on the other side of the river.

Food trucks are on-site, and local businesses show their stuff at the community resource fair.

Environmental concerns and low crime risk
The neighborhood has a CAP Index Crime Score of 2, lower than the national average. However, the risk of hail is relatively high, so it’s a good idea to look for properties with garages to protect vehicles. Properties close to the river are also at risk of flooding.
GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
