McKinley

Tudor bungalows and Prairie style homes for less
Mature oak and ash trees shade the wide residential streets here, with parked cars lining the curbs and young trees lining the sidewalks. While there are some apartments, most of the neighborhood has single-family homes resting on medium-sized lots, minimally landscaped. With varying levels of wear and tear from home to home, it’s not uncommon to see renovations underway as most of the houses were built between 1910 and 1930. Residents living near Interstate 94 can hear vehicles whizzing by on the highway, but a wooden fence diffuses some of the noise. Buyers here can find cozy Craftsman and Tudor Revival bungalows, classic Minneapolis one-and-a-half story homes and larger Prairie-style homes. Average prices in this neighborhood are lower than much of the Twin Cities, typically falling between $125,000 and $380,000.Car-dependent neighborhood with ample bus stops
Sidewalks line virtually every street in McKinley, and some streets like Fremont Avenue have separated bike lanes for cyclists, but most residents here drive to get around. There’s plenty of on-street parking available. Metro Transit bus stops are clustered along Lyndale Avenue and line Fremont Avenue just outside of the neighborhood connecting riders to downtown Minneapolis, less than 5 miles south. Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport is about 20 miles away.Art-based learning at Cityview Community School
Children can attend Cityview Community School, which receives a C grade from Niche and offers art-based learning as part of the Turnaround Arts program. Some staff are bilingual in Spanish, French, Somali and Hmong. Unless applying for one of the many citywide magnet schools, students can move on to Olson Middle School with a C grade and then Patrick Henry High School, with a B-minus.Comfort food and diner fare on Lowry Avenue
Convenience stores dot several corners in this neighborhood, but for larger grocery trips, residents can head to Gold Star Foods and So Low Grocery Outlet or travel a mile and a half south to the Cub at Broadway Center. Comfort food is close by at J’s Fish & Chicken. The family-owned and operated spot has been serving crispy chicken wings and fried fish with cheese curds and hush puppies since 2012. Down the street, The Lowry Café is known for its classic and creative diner options like the waffle breakfast burger, a full breakfast order and a burger patty sandwiched between two waffles. With the Lowry Avenue Bridge nearby, McKinley residents can easily cross the river for all the dining and nightlife options in Bottineau such as The Sample Room, The Buttered Tin and Tony Jaros River Garden.One-of-a-kind BMX track at Perkins Hill Park
Outdoor recreation here begins at Perkins Hill Park, next to Cityview Community School, featuring the only pump, or all-wheel track, for BMX-style cycling in Minneapolis. A walking trail meandering through the park’s expansive greenspace leads visitors to the basketball court and playground. Just to the west of the neighborhood lies Folwell Park, offering even more walking trails surrounded by trees. Residents can play tennis and baseball, and kids can dip in the wading pool during the summer or explore the playground all year long.
