Urban-living with a small-town feel
Ease and accessibility are the cornerstones of this western Minneapolis neighborhood, offering urban accessibility with an outdoor-oriented lifestyle. Situated between Highway 55 and U.S. Interstate-94, locals are within a 5-minute drive of the lively Twin Cities. “Harrison is desirable for its proximity to downtown Minneapolis, easy access to Theodore Wirth Park and a wide selection of major retailers, local coffee shops and restaurants,” says long-time local Joe Carmack, Realtor with Carmack Real Estate Group and Creator of Living in Minnesota on YouTube. Harrison is home to the childhood residence of renowned musician, Prince, attracting music lovers to the area for a glimpse at his early life in Minneapolis. Despite being so close to downtown, life in Harrison can feel small-town with community oriented hubs like Harrison Park and the Harrison Recreation Center maintaining an active and close-knit community through year-round child care and outdoor recreation. And with downtown Minneapolis 2 miles from the community, day trips into the Twin Cities are highly accessible.

Harrison features a variety of homes styles from single family Prairie styles and bungalows to Ranch styles and multi-family duplexes. “A lot of these houses were built pre-1910, so you’re looking at one-and-a-half stories with modest footprints,” says local Realtor Gary Metchnek of Edina Realty.
