Sumner-Glenwood is a neighborhood split in half. The northern section has a suburban feel, while the southern half has more lofts, apartments and businesses. People on both sides of the community are minutes from the attractions in downtown Minneapolis and the city’s business district, as well as restaurants and nightlife options.
Unlike other parts of Minneapolis, Sumner-Glenwood's Heritage Park subdivision, north of Highway 55, has housing almost entirely built after 2000. While its detached homes rarely hit the market, New Traditional townhouses can range from the upper $200,000s to the mid-$300,000s. South of the highway, condos in The Lofts at IMS can sell between the upper $200,000s and the lower $300,000s. Around 80% of residents are renters, who mainly live in apartments, though some are in homes and townhouses. The area tends to be less expensive than downtown neighborhoods like North Loop, but more expensive than other nearby communities like Near North and Harrison.
Though Sumner-Glenwood is a few minutes from downtown, it doesn’t feel like it. Main roads like Van White Memorial Boulevard are surrounded by grass and trees that change color with the seasons. Bridges even cross over small creeks that run through the area. “It’s almost like a little suburb in the city, with newer homes,” says Christopher Wasilensky, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Integrity Lakes who lives in the neighborhood. “There are a lot of fun things popping up.” That includes events like National Night Out, held at Sumner Field Park, where residents get to know each other while bands play music. The Heritage Park Neighborhood Association keeps people informed of news affecting the area. On the south side of the community, International Market Square has been home to interior designers and furniture showrooms for more than 100 years, giving the area a creative vibe.
The community is just over a mile from downtown’s business district, where people often commute to work. Companies like Target and Sleep Number have their headquarters in the area. The drive downtown takes around 5 minutes, while Metro Transit bus rides often take 10 to 15 minutes. There are bus stops along North 7th Avenue and Highway 55. The highway also has sidewalks, allowing people to walk downtown if they want. “Sometimes [I’ll] walk there during the day and then take a Lyft home,” Wasilensky says.
Students are zoned for the highly rated Minneapolis Public School District, but they can attend any school outside of that district with an available spot under the state’s open-enrollment policy. Franklin STEAM Middle School is a nearby magnet school that uses a lottery system for enrollment. The Blake School in Lowry Hill is a private option.
While Sumner-Glenwood is residential, it is a short drive from some of the city’s most popular cultural centers and attractions. Nearby places to visit include:
Residents can head to North Loop for a night out. Bar La Grassa is an established Italian restaurant in the area, and Butcher & The Boar focuses on smoked meats while offering a large selection of bourbon and craft beer. Bunker’s Music Bar & Grill is a popular spot for live music. People can also visit Harrison for spots like Animales Barbeque Co. “It has some of the best barbecue ribs in the Twin Cities,” Wasilensky says. You can pick up groceries at Cub Northside, and the nearby Minneapolis Farmers Market is open several days per week outside of winter.
