Urban-living in South Minneapolis
Situated along U.S. Interstate 35 West, the neighborhood of Phillips West is a developing community with direct proximity to downtown Minneapolis. “It’s an urban neighborhood on the rise,” says Dan Duddingston, Realtor with Keller Williams Premier Realty. Featuring a mix of property types, ranging from towering apartment complexes and condo/co-op units to four-plexes, duplexes and single-family homes, Phillips West has something for everyone. “The neighborhood has a lot of character, with a variety of housing options and a few ornate builds reminiscent of the Victorian era,” says Duddingston. Landmarks like the American Swedish Institute and the Midtown Global Market showcase two of this community's historic buildings while also promoting cultural diversity. Despite being primarily, a renter's community (85% of the population rent here), organizations like the Phillips West Neighborhood Organization promote seasonal events that garner a small-town feel.

And with easy access to major thoroughfares, commutes into Minneapolis are accessible in less than 10 minutes.

The housing market in Phillips West attracts young professionals and investors who want to capitalize on the low-entry pricing. “The market is unique in that it doesn’t compete with Downtown — It’s a more affordable community attracting modest buyers with a majority of multi-family properties,” says Duddingston, who has been selling in Minneapolis for over 6 years. With a median sales price of $209,000, homes in Phillips West are worth $200,000 less than the average property in the Minneapolis Metro Area.
