Coon Rapids is a quiet Twin Cities suburb along the Mississippi River
Coon Rapids is an established suburb in the northern Twin Cities metro area. Buyers often appreciate the mix of mid- to late-1900s homes and newer constructions, as well as the city’s spacious parks and access to the Mississippi River. Family-friendly events like the Snowflake Days festival bring everyone together several times a year. The city is quiet, but the buzz of downtown Minneapolis is about 15 miles away, making it an easy commute.

What buyers can pay for ramblers, split-level houses and luxury homes
The area's single-family homes can run from the lower $100,000s to more than $1 million, and townhouses usually range from the lower $100,000s to the upper $400,000s. The city tends to be less expensive than nearby communities like Blaine and Andover. Coon Rapids' older housing stock gives the city an established look. The region’s development first took off in the 1950s, then boomed again in the 1990s. “Within that time frame, there’s a lot of ramblers to be seen, but there’s also some new construction to be had,” says Jeff Shuman, a Realtor with Edina Realty. “There have been a few thousand homes built since 2000.” Buyers will also find split-level homes, two-story traditional houses and larger luxury homes along the Mississippi River.
There are some newer housing developments in Coon Rapids.
