Housing diversity here stems from 1900s architectural styles
Homes in the Minnehaha community range from cottage, bungalow and ranch-style houses to elegant Craftsman and Cape Cod styles. Minnehaha features “a mix of homes and styles from the early 1900s, so you can find many homes that have retained their period charm throughout the neighborhood,” says Nick Archer, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty. Early 20th-century Craftsman and Queen Anne bungalows reign supreme, boasting intricate millwork, wraparound porches and cozy dormer windows. Mid-century ranch-style houses peek through leafy canopies, offering sleek lines and expansive windows that frame the natural beauty. Single-family homes, often lovingly maintained, currently fetch between $300,000 and $700,000.

Poet Longfellow celebrated the great outdoors found regionally
Minnehaha Regional Park is a signature recreational feature of the Minneapolis area, including the 53-foot falls celebrated by both Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s “The Song of Hiawatha” poem and over 850,000 annual visitors. While even residents enjoy taking pictures of the falls and hiking along the limestone bluffs, there are many other opportunities for daily excursions. The Wabun playground and picnic area are next to a wading pool for kids to enjoy in the summer. Dogs can run free and socialize in the Minnehaha off-leash dog area, rated one of the best in the Minneapolis metro area. The Longfellow Gardens offer a more leisurely experience for an evening stroll or weekend picnic. The seasonal Sea Salt is a popular stop for seafood and drinks. Don’t forget to bundle up and visit the park in the winter when the falls are frozen over in a memorable display.
Even dogs enjoy the view at Minnehaha Regional Park.
Hiawatha Ave runs underneath Longfellow Gardens and then over Minnehaha Creek.
