Hiawatha is a quiet neighborhood with a popular park

Craftsman-style homes and bungalows are found throughout the neighborhood. Mixed in are a few split-levels and American Foursquares. Prices often range from the lower $200,000s to the mid $800,000s, though certain homes can sell for more than $1 million. “There are some amazing houses … surrounded by greenery,” says Francesco Marraffa, a broker at Kilt Real Estate LLC. Condos can run from the mid-$100,000s to the mid-$600,000s, while duplexes are generally in the mid- to upper $300,000s.

Minnehaha Regional Park offers plenty of things to do
One of the neighborhood’s biggest draws is Minnehaha Regional Park, the home of the 53-foot Minnehaha Falls, a popular spot for photos. “It’s beautiful … It’s fantastic in the winter,” Marraffa says. “Everything freezes.” You can paddle kayaks or fish for striper, crappie and walleye on Minnehaha Creek, which runs through the park. It also has biking and hiking trails, sports courts, a disc golf course and a pergola-shaded garden often used for weddings. Marraffa says street parking fills up fast on summer weekends, so people might want to go to the park early. Furry friends get their own green space in Minnehaha Off-Leash Dog Park, which is on the Mississippi River and has trails to explore.
Biking is a popular pastime in the neighborhood.
There are winding trails throughout Hiawatha.

Multiple Metro Transit bus lines run through Hiawatha, providing easy transportation for residents.
Getting downtown and to the airport is a breeze
The neighborhood is roughly a 6-mile commute from downtown Minneapolis, where people often work for companies like Target and Sleep Number. A drive downtown takes around 15 minutes in normal traffic. Residents can also hop on the Metro Transit Blue Line light rail to get there in about 35 minutes. The light rail station is just outside the neighborhood across Highway 55. Metro Transit buses make several stops in the community, and riders can get to the business district in 40-50 minutes, though they will have to transfer buses along the way.
The area is close to 5 miles from Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, and there can be some noise heard from planes flying overhead, especially in the southern part of the neighborhood.
Joggers often pass through Minnehaha Regional Park.
The Longfellow Community Council brings people together
Hiawatha is part of the Greater Longfellow region of Minneapolis, alongside Longfellow, Cooper and Howe. The Longfellow Community Council brings the four neighborhoods together for events like garage sales, chili cook-offs and clean-up days. It also shares information on the city’s public transit options and the area’s independent businesses. The community’s grid-like streets and well-kept sidewalks make it easy to get around, and the many trees that line the roads keep people shaded in the spring and summer.
Students are served by a highly rated district
Students are zoned for the highly rated Minneapolis Public School District. They can also attend any school outside of that district under Minnesota’s open enrollment policy. Magnet schools like Ella Baker Global Studies and Humanities School have enrollment lotteries. There are also private schools like Minnehaha Academy nearby.
Sanford Middle School serves the area.
