Relaxed-living in northern Minneapolis
Home to a series of picturesque lakes and peaceful parks, New Brighton is a highly desirable city within Ramsey County. Known for its outdoor-oriented lifestyle and centralized location, New Brighton is comprised of five neighborhoods and a population of nearly 23,000 people. “We're situated at I-694 and 35-West, so residents and businesses have easy access to hotels, shopping centers and the downtowns of both the Twin Cities,” explains Craig Schlichting, Director of Community Assets and Development for New Brighton. Residents are attracted to New Brighton in part because “There’s so much outdoor recreation here,” says long-time local Liz Johnson, Realtor with RE/MAX Results. Adding "You’d be surprised that downtown Minneapolis is only a 10-minute drive away." Amenities like the beaches of Long Lake, the disc-golf course at Hansen Park or the public fairways at Brightwood Hills Golf Course, make this northern Minneapolis city dynamic. Priding itself on an excellent school district, a thriving outdoor recreation scene and a wide range of housing options, New Brighton has something for everyone.
New Brighton is a suburban community in the heart of the Twin Cities.

Lakeside ramblers and multi-family townhouses
The real estate market in New Brighton is highly competitive with a median sales price of around $360,000, which is about $30,000 less than the average property in the Minneapolis Metro Area. “Homes in New Brighton appeal to a variety of buyers — from first-time buyers to larger families attracted by the family-friendly environment and great school district,” says Johnson, who has been selling in the area for over 17 years. New Brighton’s five communities –South Innsbruck/Highview, North Innsbruck/Rice Creek, New Brighton South, Pine Lake East and Downtown – are each unique and offer different types of housing options. Prospective buyers can expect newer construction in South Innsbruck/Highview beginning around $700,000, more condominium options in North Innsbruck/Rice Creek and larger lots with lake access in New Brighton South and Pine Lake East. Homes in the Downtown area are often more affordable and are constructed on smaller lots. The majority of homes were constructed in the late 1960s, featuring designs common to the era, like ranch styles and split-levels. New Brighton features a variety of styles from ramblers and new traditionals to multi-family condos and townhouses. Single family homes range from the low $200,000s to upwards of $900,000 for a five-bedroom new traditional with private immediate lake access. Waterfront views are subject to increased price points here, beginning around $400,000. Multi-family properties can go from the low $100,000s to upwards of $500,000.
