Marshall Terrace is an extension of Minneapolis’ artistic hub

Marshall Terrace is a Northeast Minneapolis neighborhood along the Mississippi River. While traces of the community’s industrial roots, such as the BNSF Railway, are still evident, it is better known today for its creative energy. Local studios and 56 Brewing help the area feel like an extension of the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District, while Marshall Terrace Park offers a scenic escape from the busyness of city living. Public transportation and major roads like River Road help the neighborhood feel connected to the rest of the city.

Early-1900s homes and duplexes attract homeowners and renters

Most of the neighborhood is a mix of single-family homes and duplexes that were built in the early 1900s, including bungalows and Craftsman or Traditional houses. While many of these properties still have original features like hardwood floors and woodworking, they have been updated with modern appliances.

The median single-family home price is on par with those in Northeast neighborhoods like Holland and Columbia Park, typically ranging from the mid-$200,000s to the high $400,000s. Nearly 50% of the residents rent, and there are some apartment complexes as you get closer to Lowry Avenue.

56 Brewing is a neighborhood staple, and more restaurants are nearby

You can meet friends for a drink at 56 Brewing, which has a wide selection of beers, seltzers, cocktails and mocktails. It is a neighborhood staple, with regular trivia nights, live music and the community garden next door. “It’s pretty scenic, especially in the summer, to go out [on the patio] and look over the garden and enjoy a few beers,” says Ryan Whitaker, vice chair of the Marshall Terrace Neighborhood Organization. There are even more dining options in Bottineau, including:

  • The Buttered Tin, a popular bakery and brunch spot
  • Hai Hai, a James Beard Award-winning restaurant with a menu inspired by Southeast Asian street food
  • Mojo Coffee Gallery, a cafe that showcases work from local artists
  • Jax Cafe, a high-end restaurant that’s been serving the community since 1933
  • Olive and Lamb, a Mediterranean eatery with signature items like kabob and gyro
Residents have a handful of local grocers nearby, including Sentyrz Liquor & Supermarket and the Eastside Food Co-Op. National chains and big-box stores like Target are at the Quarry, located in Northeast Park.

Residents look forward to Art-A-Whirl and neighborhood events

Because it’s so close to the arts district, Marshall Terrace attracts a lot of creatives. “Many of the residents in the neighborhood choose to live here because of how close it is to their community and their studios,” Whittaker says. “We even have a few studios in Marshall Terrace, too.” Those studios, as well as 56 Brewing, are official stops on Art-A-Whirl, an open studio tour hosted by the Northeast Minneapolis Arts Association every year on the third weekend of May. Local artists open their studio doors to the public, who can also enjoy live music and artist demos.

Marshall Terrace Park offers kid-friendly fun and wildlife views

Trails along the Mississippi River lead to Marshall Terrace Park, a green space with plenty to do. There, you can:

  • Let your kids run around the playground and tot lot
  • Practice on the ballfields
  • Cool off on hot summer days at the wading pool
  • Take in views of the river at the boardwalk and overlook
The park also attracts a lot of wildlife, especially because of a nearby heron rookery. “Right across from the park, in the middle of the river, there’s a small island that is actually a bird estuary,” Whitaker says. “We have a lot of migratory birds that will come through there, so that park is becoming really popular for bird watchers.” The Mississippi Park Connection, part of the National Park Service, hosts a get-together for birders to watch herons and egrets come in at the start of the migratory season.

Walkable, bikeable neighborhood with Metro Transit buses

Marshall Terrace is walkable and bikeable, and public transportation is also available, with Metro Transit buses stopping in the area. You’re also near Interstate 94. Downtown Minneapolis is less than 5 miles away. “It’s about 10 minutes from our neighborhood to downtown Minneapolis, and you don’t need to get on the highway,” Whitaker says. “River Road leads right downtown, or a bus would get you there in 15 minutes or so.” Downtown Saint Paul is about 15 miles (25 minutes) away.

Because BNSF Railway’s Northern Yard is in the neighborhood, residents often hear trains coming through the neighborhood. “My house is directly in front of the train yard, separated by an alleyway, and you get used to it. I don’t mind it at all,” Whitaker says. “I have a hard time sleeping elsewhere if it’s too quiet now.”
