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.
The childhood home of the music icon Prince is nestled on the north side of Harrison.
Walking trails and canoe access can be found at Theodore Wirth Regional Park.

Prairie styles and multi-family duplexes
The real estate market in Harrison is traditionally more competitive than the Twin Cities with a limited housing inventory of around 700 homes. “Homes in this area are far more affordable than many neighboring areas, without sacrificing the short commute and nature areas people love living here for,” says Carmack, who has been selling in Minneapolis for 8 years. 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. With a median sales price of $267,000, homes in Harrison range from the mid $100,000s to upwards of $600,000 along Bassett Creek. Homes closer to Bryn Mawr Meadows Park are subject to increased price points here. Homes often feature detached garages and are fronted by elevated lawns with ornate fencing and paved walkways.
