Crystal is a convenient and spirited Minneapolis suburb
Crystal, a first-ring suburb northwest of Minneapolis, attracts homebuyers seeking a blend of competitive home prices and convenience. The community is filled with mid-1900s ramblers and split-level homes, and residents can quickly get downtown thanks to nearby highways. But people don’t have to leave the suburbs to visit spacious parks and well-known restaurants. Each summer, the community comes together for its signature Crystal Frolics festival, when people celebrate the city.
Crystal offers suburban charm with easy access to downtown Minneapolis.
Welcome to Crystal.

What buyers often pay for ramblers and split-level homes
Many of Crystal's houses were built in the 1950s and early 1960s during a post-World War II population boom. You can find ramblers, traditional story-and-a-half homes and split-level houses from this era, often selling between the upper $100,000s and the upper $500,000s. There are also some New Traditional homes added after 1970 that can run from the lower $300,000s to the upper $600,000s. The city’s home prices are roughly in line with those in nearby communities like Robbinsdale and New Hope.
Some of the neighborhood's homes are near Crystal Airport, a small general aviation airport, and may experience some noise.
There are plenty of split-level homes in Crystal.
You can find ramblers throughout the city.

State Highway 100 makes it easy to get around the area.
It's easy for drivers to get around the Twin Cities
State Highway 100 and Interstate 94 are nearby highways that connect to the broader Twin Cities region, giving people in the car-dependent community easy commutes to downtown Minneapolis, less than 10 miles away. The drive can take 15-35 minutes in rush hour traffic. There are several Metro Transit bus stops in the area, especially along North 42nd Avenue. Riders can get downtown in around an hour.
Crystal Frolics headlines the events calendar
Crystal has a full calendar of community events, but none are bigger than Crystal Frolics, a multiday summer festival that brings a softball tournament, a 5k race, live music and a fireworks show to town. There are also food trucks and a community-wide hunt for a crystal ball. Later in December, the Crystal Winterfest and Light Up Crystal events provide family fun and a visit from Santa Claus before a tree-lighting ceremony.
The city provides sports fields and an aquatic center
Crystal has more than 25 parks to explore, including Bassett Creek Park, which Realtor Kathryn Hammerseng, of Edina Realty, says is a sight to behold. “It's got a wooded area, frisbee golf, ponds, a workout path, and there's a bridge over Highway 100 to the actual Bassett Creek, which runs all through Crystal,” Hammerseng says. The park also has a pet area and plenty of space for picnics. Grogan Park is home to the Crystal Community Center and the Crystal Cove Aquatic Center. The city’s smaller green spaces have trails and boardwalks for wildlife viewing as well as playgrounds.
The Bassett Creek Park playground gets a lot of use.
The Crystal Cove Aquatic Center is located within Grogan Park.
