What people often pay for bungalows and Tudor-style homes
Northrop is filled with a mix of Craftsman-style bungalows, Tudor-style houses and traditional story-and-a-half homes, among others, helping the area feel far from cookie-cutter. Much of its housing was built in the early to mid-1900s, and many homes have retained details like hardwood floors, built-in cabinetry and decorative woodwork while upgrading spaces like kitchens and bathrooms. They can also have modern insulation and other changes that block noise from overhead planes. Prices can range from the mid-$100,00s for a simple bungalow to the mid-$900,000s for a four-bedroom Tudor-style home. The neighborhood tends to be more expensive than nearby communities like Bancroft, Bryant and Regina, but it is much less expensive than Hale to the south.

Northrop Elementary School serves the community.
Students are zoned for a highly rated school district
Students in Northrop are assigned to the highly rated Minneapolis Public School District, which includes Washburn High School, a recognized International Baccalaureate World School. District high school students are eligible for the Go-To Student Pass, which gives unlimited rides on Metro Transit buses and light rails. Alternatives include private schools like the highly rated Annunciation Catholic School, a few miles away, as well as citywide magnet schools, which use lotteries to select their enrollment.
You can hit the water, play sports or bike along winding trails
The neighborhood’s McRae Park is a community hub with sports fields, a wading pool, a playground and a winter ice rink. Along the community's southern edge, Minnehaha Creek has scenic trails that wind along its banks. But the region’s biggest draw is Lake Nokomis Park, around a mile and a half away, which is popular for its beaches, fishing piers, boat launch and sports courts. Visitors can rent canoes, kayaks, paddleboards and swan boats at the lake. The area is encircled by jogging and biking trails that connect to the smaller Lake Hiawatha Park and Hiawatha Golf Course, giving people even more places to spend a day.
"We're known for our lakes and parks, and people in this neighborhood have direct access to them," says Tyler Dill, a Realtor with Fox Realty. "The moment it warms up, residents are out and about, walking on the trails and saying 'hi' to each other." You can head to The Parkway Theater to see movie screenings, concerts and comedy shows.
