Riverside suburb in northern Minneapolis

Situated along the western bank of the Mississippi River, Lind-Bohanon combines urban convenience with abundant outdoor amenities on the edge of the Minneapolis city limits. “It’s one of the most popular neighborhoods in northern Minneapolis — It’s not far from the Victory Memorial Highway and it’s close to the local shops and eateries in Brooklyn Center,” says Lisa Carter, seasoned Realtor with RE/MAX Results and Creator of Lisa The Minnesota Realtor on YouTube. Locals are minutes from the paved paths and scenic riverfront views at North Mississippi Regional Park, offering paddle boat launches and fishing opportunities along the shore. The riverside lifestyle is accompanied by 1940s and 1960s home styles fronted by paved sidewalks for navigating to community staples like Bohanon Park and The Camden Social. Lind-Bohanon may be at the northern edge of Minneapolis, but quick 6-mile commutes on U.S. Interstate 94 connect residents to downtown in around 15 minutes.

Minimal traditionals and Craftsman styles

The real estate market in Lind-Bohanon is highly competitive, with average home prices lower than most other areas of the Twin Cities. “Lind Bohanon attracts buyers with a diverse mix of housing stock, from post-WWII ramblers to newer builds along the Humboldt Greenway,” says local Nate Pentz, Realtor with Keller Williams Classic Realty Northwest. With a median sales price of $230,000, minimal traditionals can begin in the low $100,000s and reach up to $300,000 while Craftsmans and multi-family duplexes can go from $200,000 to upwards of $400,000. “Homes in Lind-Bohanon offer more bang for your buck with properties priced $70,000 to $90,000 cheaper than similar properties in southern Minneapolis — You get the South Minneapolis feel without the South Minneapolis price tag,” says Carter, who has been selling in Minneapolis for 22 years. “There’s also great down payment programs available, like BuildWealth that homebuyers can take advantage of here.”
