Victory has a historic parkway and close community

Victory is a quaint neighborhood on the Northside of Minneapolis named for Victory Memorial Parkway, a tree-lined trail designed in the early 1920s. Residents here feel a strong sense of community, reinforced by free events at Victory Park and a strong local business scene. The neighborhood itself is very walkable and bikeable, but most people drive or take Metro Transit buses for longer trips across the Twin Cities.

Early-1900s homes that cost less than most Minneapolis properties

Most of the neighborhood was built in the early 1900s, including bungalows, Tudor Revivals and Craftsman styles. There are also some mid-20th-century cottages and ranch-style homes. Gardens decorate the front lawns, and back alleys lead to driveways and detached garages. Prices generally range from the lower $200,000s to the mid-$500,000s, but you can find a house that needs a little more work in the $100,000s. “Victory is fairly inexpensive, relative to the rest of Minneapolis,” says Realtor Joel Friday with Keller Williams Classic Realty. While the median single-family price is comparable to that of Northside neighborhoods like Webber-Camden, it is lower than in Robbinsdale.

Victory Memorial Parkway and local parks offer outdoor recreation

Cyclists and pedestrians spend hours along the historic Victory Memorial Parkway, with over 500 trees that were planted after World War I. “There is a monument for every fallen soldier from Hennepin County that died in the war,” says Realtor Stephanie Gruver with Re/Max Results, who has been working in the area since 2009. The parkway leads to the Mississippi and is part of the 55-mile Grand Rounds Scenic Byway. There are also several parks in the neighborhood, including:

  • Ryan Lake Park, where people can fish and go boating
  • Victory Prairie Off-Leash Dog Park, a fenced-in park near the railroads
  • Victory Park, which has athletic fields, a playground and a splash pad
Every year, the Shingle Creek Victory Council hosts a Memorial Day Concert at Victory Park, which is one of the parks that hosts the group’s summer concert series, Live on the Northside. The organization also runs a community garden, where you can rent a raised bed to grow your own fruits and vegetables.

Walkable, bikeable community with public transit options

Victory Memorial Parkway, along with sidewalks and bike lanes, makes the community pedestrian- and bike-friendly, but most residents still use a car to get across the Twin Cities. Osseo Road and North Penn Avenue go through the neighborhood, and Highway 100 is nearby. It’s about 5 miles, or 15 minutes, to downtown Minneapolis and 20 miles and about 25 minutes to downtown Saint Paul. Public transportation is also available, with Metro Transit buses and the C and D bus rapid transit lines stopping in the area.
