A mix of architectural styles: Craftsman, Queen Annes and riverfront townhomes
Stepping into the Hawthorne neighborhood of Minneapolis means entering a time capsule of architectural styles. Victorian-era beauties, adorned with gingerbread trim and wraparound porches, stand shoulder-to-shoulder with sturdy Craftsman bungalows. Queen Anne revival, with its asymmetrical turrets and playful details, pops up here and there, adding a touch of whimsy. Forays into brick and stone reveal stately Colonial Revivals, their formal elegance contrasting with the more organic lines of their neighbors. Prices reflect this range of architectural heritage. While prospective buyers can still find fixer-uppers in the low $100,000s, meticulously restored Victorians can command upwards of $500,000. Bungalows tend to fall somewhere in between. Townhouses along the Mississippi River offer riverfront views and bicycle trails.

Outdoor recreation at Fairview and Ole Olson parks
Fairview Park is at the heart of Hawthorne, where there is the Fairview Recreation Center. The 21-acre green space includes a wading pool, playground and hill offering views of the city skyline. Several community gardens dot the neighborhood and welcome residents to grow their produce. And Ole Olson Park is a pocket-sized gem that unfolds like a verdant welcome mat. Its grassy expanse dotted with mature trees invites picnics, frisbee throws and quiet contemplation under the shade. A winding path entices exploration, leading past a charming gazebo and a babbling brook that gurgles its way to the riverbank. A network of trails threads through the park, inviting invigorating walks or leisurely bike rides. In winter, the snow-covered landscape transforms into a wonderland for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
