Walkability in the heart of Northeast Minneapolis

Situated along the beautiful banks of the Mississippi River, St. Anthony West is a buzzy little neighborhood in the Northeast area of Minneapolis with a lot of green space. The area is primarily residential, with commercial industry and public parks lining the river between Broadway Street and the Plymouth Avenue Bridge. Homebuyers looking to hang up their car keys in favor of hiking or biking will appreciate St. Anthony West, which is within walking distance to some of the most popular places in the city, like the University of Minnesota and the Warehouse District. “It’s all about the walkability,” says Realtor Tony Farah of Coldwell Banker Realty. Farah is a former resident of St. Anthony West and was a part of the Saint Anthony West Neighborhood Association. “You see a lot of walkers and bikers in the neighborhood. It’s a place where you don’t necessarily need a car to get around.”

A neighborhood in transition

One of the older neighborhoods in the city, more than half of the housing inventory in St. Anthony West was built prior to 1939. The neighborhood has been targeted with revitalization efforts, which have spurred renovations and new construction, giving the area a modern feel amid the historic architecture. “A lot of new apartment buildings have gone up in the last five or six years. That transformation is going to continue,” Farah says. There is a mix of single-family, town houses and multi-unit dwellings. About half of the housing in the community are homes in buildings with more than four units. Because of its proximity to the university and the number of renters, the neighborhood is popular with investors and homeowners looking to live in an income property. Spacious, older homes that have been renovated list for between $400,000 and $600,000, while newer townhomes typically list for between $300,000 and $400,000.

Boom Island Park

Boom Island Park makes up over 22 leafy acres on the western edge of St. Anthony West, much of it undeveloped riverfront. The riverside park offers a picturesque backdrop for a summer picnic and other outdoor recreation, with stunning views of the Minneapolis skyline in the distance. “Boom Island Park has been used tremendously. There are family gatherings, corporate events and it’s also where the 2024 Basilica Block Party is going to be, which is expected to bring 10,000 to 15,000 people,” says Sally Grans Korsh, vice president of the Saint Anthony West Neighborhood Association. The Basilica Block Party is an annual two-day music festival that takes place in August. It was set up to help fund the restoration of the Basilica of Saint Mary in downtown Minneapolis.
