Minnehaha is next to one of Minneapolis’ most popular parks

There are a handful of cafes and restaurants in the neighborhood, as well as a locally owned grocery store. Highway access makes it easy to get to downtown Minneapolis, about 5 miles away.

Early-1900s homes are less expensive than nearby communities
Most of the homes in Minnehaha were built before 1940, including colorful Craftsman styles, workers cottages and Tudor Revivals. As you move farther south, you can find some mid-20th-century cottages and new construction. There are also some townhouses and condos, although those are less common. While the winter has plenty of snow, the warmer months bring shaded sidewalks and blooming gardens. Back alleys lead to driveways and detached garages, or you can park on the street.
The median single-family home price is lower in Minnehaha than it is in Keewaydin or Hiawatha. “Minnehaha is, I would say, a lot more affordable,” says Realtor Andrea Vorachek, who has lived in Minneapolis since 2008. Prices generally range from the mid-$200,000s to the mid-$800,000s, while townhouses and condos cost between the mid-$100,000s and the mid-$200,000s.
Bungalows and Craftsman-style homes are common sight in Minnehaha.
You can find some stucco homes with brick accents.
Many homes in Minnehaha have 3-season front porches to enjoy the sun all year-round.

Students can attend the highly rated Lake Nokomis Community School
Minnehaha is part of the highly rated Minneapolis Public School District. Students can start at Lake Nokomis Community School, which is split into Wenonah Elementary School, which has kindergarten and first grade, and Keewaydin Elementary School, which serves second through fifth grade. Both campuses are highly rated. While most students attend their assigned school, the district offers some flexibility through intradistrict transfer applications and citywide magnet schools.
Roosevelt High School students develop their skills to their fullest potential.
Lake Nokomis Keewaydin Elementary School also serves families in the Minnehaha neighborhood.
Sanford Middle School also serves the Hiawatha, Ericsson and Minnehaha neighborhoods.

While biking is an option, more people drive
Minnehaha is walkable and bikeable, but to a lesser extent than neighborhoods like Kingfield. “The majority of people bike for pleasure, not to get where they’re going,” Vorachek says. “But, there are plentiful bike lanes, and a lot of people bike to work. I would just say it’s not the norm.” Instead, she says more people drive, especially because of easy access to Hiawatha Avenue and Highway 62. You can reach downtown Minneapolis in about 5 miles (15 minutes) and downtown Saint Paul in about 10 miles (20 minutes). Metro Transit buses and the Blue Line Light Rail stop throughout the neighborhood.
Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport is less than 5 miles away, but Vorachek says you hear planes less in Minnehaha than in Keewaydin.
Local restaurants include cafes, breakfast spots and a bar
While Minnehaha is more of a residential neighborhood, there are a handful of local restaurants to choose from. Options include:
