Sheridan is part of the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District. Sections of the residential area have an industrial feel, but several highly regarded restaurants are within walking distance, as are art studios and trails that run along the Mississippi River. Residents can easily make the 2- to 2.5-mile commute downtown by car or by bus.
Many of Sheridan’s homes were built in the early 1900s and often carry Victorian, Craftsman-style and traditional influences. There are a lot of duplexes and triplexes that can sell from the upper $200,000s to the upper $500,000s. Some owners use them as single-family homes, and others rent out their unused space. Around 75% of residents are renters who live in modern apartments, including some four- to five-story high-rises. The area’s other homes and cottages can run from the lower $200,000s to the mid-$400,000s. Sheridan’s prices are slightly above those in Holland and Bottineau, but below Logan Park and Saint Anthony West.
Sheridan can feel industrial, as factories and warehouses have been turned into offices and apartments. Buildings in the old Grain Belt Brewery complex carry its distinctive Richardsonian Romanesque look, making them a striking feature of the neighborhood. Freight trains still run through the northwestern corner of the area on their way to and from the BNSF Northtown and CPKC rail yards, which can cause some noise. But people also have access to the Mississippi River and several trails. “You’re in the city, but you feel out of the city by the water,” says Michael Gacek, a Realtor with Edina Realty and a Sheridan resident. “There’s convenience. We have a lot here, and we’re close to a lot.” People can easily walk to other Arts District neighborhoods, especially along Northeast 15th Avenue, but bikes are also popular. 5th Street Northeast is an official bike boulevard with traffic circles that slow things down, and Behind Bars Bicycle Shop offers repairs.
One of four Northeast Minneapolis Arts District neighborhoods along with Bottineau, Logan Park and Holland, Sheridan is home to several studios and galleries like Midway Contemporary Art. These places have open tours and exhibitions throughout the year. They all build up to Art-A-Whirl, the district’s sprawling signature three-day event each May, when more than 1,600 artists and organizations show off their work. Visitors are treated to food, activities and live music.
Not all of the neighborhood’s events are arts-themed. The Sheridan Neighborhood Organization gets everyone together for potluck dinners, ice cream socials and an annual Trick or Treat Stroll along 13th Avenue Northeast around Halloween.
Residents can walk to popular restaurants both in the neighborhood and just outside of it. Community spots include The Anchor Fish & Chips, which serves British pub food, and Mayslack’s, a bar and grill known for its roast beef sandwiches and live music. People can try Diane’s Place for a more upscale experience. The restaurant was named Food & Wine’s Restaurant of the Year in 2025 and serves Hmong-inspired cuisine from Southeast Asia. You can try Northeast Social for elevated Italian pastas and entrees. Across Broadway Street Northeast in Saint Anthony West is The 1029 Bar, a neighborhood hangout for sports and karaoke, where the lobster roll comes recommended. Just as beloved as the area’s restaurants is Sentyrz Market, a family-run grocery and liquor store that butchers its own meat. “They have unique things,” Gacek says. “We all go there and buy stuff.”
The neighborhood is around 2 miles from North Loop ’s dining scene and about 2.5 miles from Downtown West ’s theater and business districts, where companies like Target and U.S. Bank are headquartered. The commute downtown takes between five and 10 minutes in morning traffic. People can also ride Metro Transit buses to get there in less than 20 minutes. There are several stops along Northeast 2nd Street, Marshall Street Northeast and Broadway Street Northeast.
Nearby green spaces offer plenty of ways to stay active. Spots within walking distance include:
Students attend schools in the highly rated Minneapolis Public School District. Minnesota’s open enrollment lets students attend any school outside their district that has an open space. The private Saint John Paul II Catholic School, for kindergarten through eighth grade, is in the neighborhood. Citywide magnet schools like Bethune Arts Elementary School in Near North use a lottery system for enrollment.
