Suburban-living along Minnehaha Creek
Named after the tangled cluster of winding streets below West 50th Street, Tangletown is so secluded that it’s easy to forget that Downtown Minneapolis is only 5 miles away. “Streets in Tangletown feature hills and roads that wind throughout the community — this is very unique and atypical of any other community in Minneapolis,” says Mary Schumann, Realtor with Keller Williams Integrity Lakes. Home to the historic Washburn Park Water Tower – the highest elevation point in south Minneapolis, Tangletown was established on the hills of what was once rolling countryside in the 19th century. The community is highly sought-after for its urban accessibility, highly rated schools and stately homes. Bordered by U.S. Interstate-35W on the East side and the Minnehaha Creek to the South, Tangletown offers easy access to the best the Twin Cities have to offer while maintaining a connection to nature and the outdoor lifestyle popular in Minnesota.
Tangletown is only minutes away from downtown Minneapolis and MSP International Airport.
Miles of paved trails await locals on The Grand Rounds Scenic Byway near Tangletown.

Stately Tudors and Colonial Revivals
Large estates adorn the hills around the Washburn Water Tower in Tangletown. The community includes an eclectic variety of houses that developed around the early 1930s. Home styles in Tangletown range from stately Tudors and Colonial Revivals to minimal traditionals and Prairie styles. The real estate market in Tangletown is competitive, with very little inventory and a median sales price of $470,000. “This is a destination neighborhood where buyers can wait years for the right property to become available,” Schumann says. One bonus for buyers is that homes stay on the market longer because of higher price points, but almost 80% of them sell above the list price. Homes here range from the mid $200,000s for a two-bedroom minimal traditional to upwards of $1.3 Million for a four-bedroom Tudor along Minnehaha Creek. Estates found along Minnehaha Parkway are subject to increased price points here. Homes here often feature multi-car garages and are fronted by porches and large lawns with ample room for gardening.
Classic tudor-style homes are a staple in Tangletown.
Well-maintained larger estates can be found around Minnehaha Parkway.

This neighborhood is perfect for starting a family or putting down roots. While it may not be a bustling nightlife hub, it's just a short distance from downtown and uptown, so you can still enjoy evenings out. The school district has received glowing reviews, and it's a wonderfully walkable community that encourages you to embrace the great outdoors when the weather is lovely.
