Regional amenities in northside Minneapolis
Situated on the eastern border of Theodore Wirth Regional Park—the largest park in the Twin Cities, the north side Minneapolis community of Willard-Hay is known for its outdoor oriented lifestyle and affordable housing options. The draw of the neighborhood lies primarily in its green spaces. Expansive Wirth Park, in particular, beckons with its trails, lakes and winter wonderland like landscapes. “It's up-and-coming and I highly recommend this area,” says Lisakay Smith, broker at Housing Hub. “Willard-Hay is super close to downtown and a quick ride to any nightlife activities." In addition, north side Minneapolis is considered one of the most diverse areas in the city. “I have a soft spot for this community,” adds Michael Gacek, Realtor with Edina Realty. “I grew up visiting Willard-Hay and it opened my eyes to a lot of different cultures.” Despite ongoing city expansion, Willard-Hay maintains its sense of community through local staples like Sammy’s Avenue Eatery and the seasonal West Broadway Farmers Market. Offering residents an urban lifestyle and proximity to a lush park system, Willard-Hay is a densely populated residential community on Minneapolis' north side.
Bungalows and American Foursquares
The real estate market in Willard-Hay is attractive for its entry-level pricing and proximity to outdoor amenities. “The neighborhood has a great selection of housing stock, similar to the northeast community,” says Gacek, who has over 24 years of experience selling in the area. “Theodore Wirth Park attracts many buyers, and the area is becoming more developed every day.” The majority of homes here were constructed in the 1920s, resulting in coxy bungalows and American Foursquare designs, common of that era. Established single-family homes dominate, however, multi-family duplexes are also common. With a median sales price of $250,000, homes in Willard-Hay tend to cost $200,000 less than the average property in the Minneapolis Metro Area. For example, prices can range from as low as $100,000 for a two-bedroom bungalow in need of repairs to upwards of $500,000 for a four-bedroom renovated Prairie-style home with views of the tree-dotted Theodore Wirth Parkway. “Houses along the west side are often bigger and more elaborate,” adds Gacek. Residences within walking distance of Theodore Wirth Regional Park often have the highest price tags. Most homes in this community are fronted by small lawns with ornate fencing and are equipped with detached garages.
A variety of homes are found in the Willard-Hay neighborhood.
