Homes date back to the early 1900s
Homes in the neighborhood date back to the early 1900s, including Tudor Revivals, Craftsman bungalows and Foursquares. Mid-20th-century properties, like ranch-style houses and Garrison Colonials, can also be found by the Mississippi. Depending on size and condition, prices can range from the mid-$100,000s to the mid-$700,000s. Many of the more expensive properties are near the Mississippi River. “The houses get bigger, and the architecture gets more interesting the closer you get to the river,” says Realtor Robin Voreis with Keller Williams Integrity Realty, who has over 15 years of experience in the area. The median single-family home price is on par with that of the neighboring Hiawatha community, but is slightly higher than in Longfellow.
Tudor Revivals are often found on quiet, secluded streets.

Local restaurants, shops and a movie theater in the neighborhood
While Voreis says that the neighborhood has a “chill, low-key vibe,” there are plenty of reasons people look for homes in the area. “There are a lot of vintage stores, restaurants, it’s easy to access transit, and it’s close to the river,” she says. This is just a snapshot of what’s available:
The Howe Daily Kitchen & Bar, an American restaurant with a dog-friendly patio
Blue Door Pub, which is known for its unique takes on the regional Juicy Lucy burgers
Selam Restaurant, which serves Ethiopian food and
Fireroast Coffee, a cafe that highlights work from local artists
E’s Emporium, a vintage store that specializes in items from the 1950s to the 1980s

The League of Longfellow Artists works supports local artists in Howe, Longfellow, Cooper and Hiawatha. This volunteer-led group hosts the annual LoLa Art Crawl, a weekend-long event showcasing work from over 100 artists in September. The Longfellow Community Council also hosts several events throughout the year, including the Longfellow River Gorge Festival, where people can learn about the local environment and participate in guided walking tours and canoe rides.
