A river runs through it
Named for the scenic Mississippi River tributary that winds through the neighborhood and splits it in two, Shingle Creek is a vibrant and dynamic urban pocket tucked away in the northwest corner of Minneapolis, 7 miles from downtown. Once considered an area that was far from civilization, Shingle Creek today is a desirable, quiet neighborhood, seemingly detached from the hustle and bustle of the big city, while still offering easy highway access and proximity to amenities, both natural and manmade. The nearby river, lake and creek access points make the neighborhood a favorite for outdoor lovers, and the proximity of Highway 100 makes it attractive to those who need to get to Interstate 94 as part of their daily commute. Meanwhile, several Metro Transit bus stops throughout the neighborhood make it easier for residents to get around town without having to drive themselves.

The great outdoors
Homebuyers looking to spend more time in nature will find a lot to love about Shingle Creek, which has a notable park within the neighborhood and a highly utilized bike trail in the Shingle Creek Trail. Family-friendly and always buzzing in the summers, Shingle Creek Park boasts a host of amenities, including a well-loved wading pool, a popular playground and several sports facilities. The park provides an idyllic backdrop for dog walkers and is a destination for runners and walkers who enjoy safe brushes with wildlife along its peaceful paths.

This tranquil park is the perfect place to hide away right in the middle of the city because it’s known to be quiet.
