Enjoy suburban living with easy access to art, green space and Minneapolis
A public park with water slides, a craft cidery with a curling rink and plans for growth – these are just some of the things that make up the Northeast Park neighborhood of Minneapolis. With the 37-acre Northeast Park at its center, this community is about 3 miles, or a 10-minute drive from downtown Minneapolis. Because of Northeast Park’s location, Katie Kottenbrock, the co-chair for the Lower Northeast Neighborhood Association explains that the area attracts both families and young professionals. “In recent years we’ve gotten a lot of folks in their 20s and early 30s that are artsy or hipster-y,” says Kottenbrock. The well-kept houses, mostly ranch-styles and bungalows, encompass Northeast Park, which Kottenbrock describes as the heart of the neighborhood. Every year the neighborhood association hosts the Northeast Park Festival to bring neighbors together. “It’s a resource fair with food and entertainment,” she says. “It’s to help them understand what resources are available in the community and from the city.” The festival also includes an appearance by Mr. Fun, a jack-of-all-trades kid’s entertainer. “The kids just love him,” Kottenbrock adds.

Minnesota’s largest art complex
Northeast Park neighborhood is known for its arts scene and the massive brick Northrup King Building is located nearby. Home to hundreds of artists and studios, such as Hemingway Ceramics and Aprilierre Jewelry, the complex is spread across 10 buildings, all of which were a part of a former seed company factory. The building is also known for hosting various events throughout the year, where the complex's artists open their studio doors to the public to share their most recent creations. Every May, for example, the building is home to Art-A-Whirl, the largest open studio tour in the country - attracting over 70,000 visitors.

Coffee, curling and community in Northeast Park
The local commercial district is mainly comprised of airy renovated warehouses from the city’s past, like the old General Mills tower, the former site of the Cheerios flour factory. Today, these warehouse spaces have transformed their purpose from work to play. There are two local coffee chains and three craft breweries in Northeast Park, including Sociable Cider Werks, Bauhaus Brew Labs and Padraigs Brewing. Each has their own specialty — cider, German-style beer and Irish craft beer, respectively. Kottenbrock calls Sociable Cider Werks the highlight of the neighborhood. “It’s a fun place with a lot of events, it draws the community in,” she says. During the winter months, Sociable even builds an ice rink in the lot beside the building to host very own curling league. When it comes to shopping, there’s a large shopping center called The Quarry that has big-box stores like Target, Home Depot, Famous Footwear, PetSmart, Five Below, Michael’s and many other chain retail stores.

Low inventory of single-family homes
Homes here encompass the park space, making it a quick walk from most residential streets. Realtor Drew Hueler of Drew Hueler Real Estate said that there’s a wide variety of folks living in the neighborhood but that it tends to attract people who want a safe place to live with easy proximity to the city and freeways. This neighborhood consists primarily of single-family homes featuring bungalow and ranch-styles and some two-story Queen Annes. Inventory is typically low – the community has less than 200 homes total – but more development is expected in the coming years, like a new apartment complex that will add nearly 1,000 apartment units to the community. The current median home price is about $315,000, although homes generally range from $250,000 to $500,000, depending on size and condition. About half the residents own their homes, while the other half rent, likely because housing inventory is so low. The neighborhood has a CAP Index Crime Score of 4, which is on par with the national average.

Northeast Park neighborhood’s impressive namesake
Northeast Park is the biggest park in the neighborhood and also its namesake. Situated at the center of the neighborhood, it has baseball, soccer and softball fields, a tennis court, a bike skills course, a picnic area, a playground, a walking path and a seasonal water park. There aren’t many shade trees, but residents can find some relief from the summer sun underneath the pergolas that stretch over the walking path. The Ridgway Parkway Regional Trail, in the eastern part of the neighborhood, has a small overlook that opens up to a postcard-worthy view of the Minneapolis skyline.

Walk around the neighborhood, drive to Minneapolis
While the neighborhood itself is fairly walkable, residents will likely still be car-dependent. The local bus system is “OK,” Kottenbrock says, “but they’re working on improving it. In the next five years, there will be more rapid bus systems.” There are currently a handful of Metro Transit bus stops in the neighborhood. The nearest commercial airport is the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, which is 16 miles away, or about a 30-minute drive depending on traffic. Much of the neighborhood’s southern boundary is marked by I-35W.
