Victory
Suburban Neighborhood in Minneapolis, Minnesota
Hennepin County 55412, 55430

Vintage homes on tree-lined streets
“Most of that neighborhood is single-family housing,” Friday says. “It’s got a flair to it. There are some nice ‘30s and ‘40s vintage homes.” Most homes in the neighborhood are early- to mid-20th-century bungalows with a stunning array of architectural details — steeply pitched roofs, exterior stonework and brightly painted trim adding charm and screened-in porches providing protected outdoor space. Lawns are small enough to require minimal maintenance but big enough to make use of the space, and tall trees generally shade front yards and sidewalks. Victory’s market moves quickly, with homes selling after an average of 21 days on the market, half the national average of 42. “Victory is fairly inexpensive relative to the rest of Minneapolis,” Friday says. “Prices are in the upper $200,000s on average and have been for the last three or four years.” For $200,000 to $350,000, buyers can generally find a comfortably sized, well-maintained single-family home.Victory Memorial Parkway leads to the Mississippi
Ample green space benefits the active lifestyles of those who live in Victory. Runners and cyclists take advantage of Victory Memorial Parkway, a linear green space surrounding the neighborhood and containing a World War I memorial. “There is a monument for every fallen soldier from Hennepin County that died in the war,” says local Realtor Stephanie Gruver. Its trails lead to the Mississippi and are part of the Grand Rounds National Scenic Byway, a 51-mile route that loops the city. Located off the parkway, Victory Park has athletic facilities like a tennis court and basketball courts in addition to playgrounds and picnic areas. Pups run free at the Victory Prairie Off-Leash Dog Park, a sanctuary for dogs and humans alike to socialize and enjoy some fresh air. In 2017, the Victory Neighborhood Association opened Ryan Lake Park, which has trails, a fishing pier and the opportunity to launch kayaks and canoes from the shore.Learning in Minneapolis Public Schools
Victory students attend Loring Elementary and Olson Middle School, which received Cs on Niche, followed by Patrick Henry High School, which received a B-minus. Patrick Henry High School offers a variety of academic programs, including International Baccalaureate, Advancement Via Individual Determination and a Hmong dual language program.The Victory Neighborhood Association’s community events
The Victory Neighborhood Association hosts community events throughout the year, like garage sales and neighborhood cleanups. Each February, they hold a Black History Month book drive to collect books to distribute throughout the neighborhood’s Little Free Libraries. In the spring, they celebrate the Spring Candy Grab, the community’s annual Easter egg hunt.Getting around Minneapolis
Victory is six miles from downtown Minneapolis. It takes 15 minutes to drive there and 30 minutes to bike or take the bus. Trails through Victory Memorial Parkway connect to the Grand Rounds National Scenic Byway, a 51-mile trail that loops the city of Minneapolis. Victory is somewhat bikeable, but most people here rely on cars to get around. The closest hospital, North Memorial Health, is two miles away, and the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport is 15 miles away.A locally loved comic store and a neighborhood cafe
Since its opening in 1987, Hot Comics and Collectibles has garnered a cult following and created a community for comic fans from across the Twin Cities. Today, it’s perhaps Victory’s best-known local business, but residents likely make more day-to-day use of Corner Coffee, the neighborhood spot to grab a latte and catch up with friends. Its cozy environment is supplemented by a play zone, letting kids crawl around while parents mingle or catch up on work. Known for its inflatable polar bear greeting patrons at the door, Dancing Bear Chocolate is equally cherished by the neighborhood. This shop sells all sorts of sweet treats, from cakes and pies to handcrafted chocolate bars and homemade gelato. For groceries, most shop at the Hy-Vee two miles away.
