Shingle Creek puts residents close to nature

Shingle Creek is a peaceful part of the Camden region in north Minneapolis. It has several parks where residents can take a walk or play sports, and its residential streets are lined with many tall trees. People often live in bungalows, ramblers and traditional houses from the early to mid-1900s, which are priced in line with nearby neighborhoods. Students are zoned for a highly rated school district, and downtown is about 7 miles away, making commutes simple.

What homeowners often pay for bungalows and ramblers

The neighborhood’s housing stock is split between Craftsman-style bungalows, ramblers and story-and-a-half traditional houses, among others. Many of them were built between 1925 and 1960. Prices generally range from the mid-$100,000s to the mid-$300,000s. The community is roughly as expensive as the nearby Lions, Bellvue and Lind-Bohanon areas, though it is slightly less expensive than Victory.

The Shingle Creek Victory Council supports the neighborhood

Shingle Creek is one of nine neighborhoods in the larger Camden community of north Minneapolis, which tend to share businesses and parks. The Shingle Creek Victory Council supports both Shingle Creek and Victory through community gardens and events like Live on the Northside, which combines music, a pet parade and an outdoor movie screening. Rachel Bundy, the chairperson of the SCVC, says the area’s residents take pride in where they live and do their best to maintain it. “Our neighborhoods start to feel like small towns in the city,” Bundy says. The namesake Shingle Creek runs through the area. Grid-like streets make it easy for people to walk to a park or to a neighbor’s house. Leaves change color and fall off the community’s many trees each autumn.

Several parks and two golf facilities are close by

Residents tend to spend time enjoying the area's nature. “Shingle Creek's most beautiful amenities are the walks along the creek and the urban wildlife in Shingle Creek Park,” Bundy says. People can visit the park to play sports or to skate on the park’s ice rink. Creekview Park also has sports fields, a playground and a skate area. Nearby Bohanon Park stands out in north Minneapolis for its cricket field and its pickleball courts. North Mississippi Regional Park is roughly a mile and a half away along the Mississippi River and is known for its waterfront biking and jogging paths.

Centerbrook Golf Course, in Brooklyn Center, offers public tee times for its nine-hole, par-3 course. About 3 miles away, Topgolf Brooklyn Center offers a family-friendly golf experience with food and drinks. Victory’s Ryan Lake Park is a quiet spot for canoeing and fishing. Anglers can find bluegill, bass, crappie and pike, among other fish.
