Single-family homes surround Terra Linda Park

Terra Linda is a primarily industrial section on the south end of New Hope, a northwest Minneapolis suburb with about 22,000 residents. The east end of the neighborhood is home to manufacturing facilities, while the west end has single-family homes surrounding a community park alongside a small strip center. People likely move here due to its low housing costs, well-maintained single-family homes and proximity to industrial employers and Minneapolis. It’s only 8 miles from Minneapolis, giving residents the feeling that they can get in and out of the city quickly while belonging to a tighter-knit community. “New Hope is a vibrant and diverse community located close to Minneapolis while still maintaining the close-knit feeling of a smaller town,” says Mayor John Elder. “It’s full of great restaurants and retailers, conveniently near major freeway access for easy commuting, and full of wonderful parks and amenities — all of which make it a great place to live, work or visit.”

New Hope raises home values and maintains city streets

Terra Linda has mostly ranch-style and split-level homes on large lots shaded by mature trees. The average single-family home here is about 600 square feet smaller than the national average. Home values range from about $150,000 to $400,000, while averaging about $170,000 less than the Minneapolis metro area. New Hope has a scattered site housing program where the city buys neglected homes and sells them to developers to tear down and rebuild. “That improves the housing stock and raises home values for the neighborhood,” says Council Member Michael Isenberg. “When all of a sudden you have a brand-new house on the block, the people on that block tend to do some more improvements on their properties.” Isenberg notes that New Hope has higher property taxes than some surrounding communities, but these higher taxes keep the city well maintained. “Our city streets have been constantly improved,” he says. “Quite a while ago, they created a 30-year improvement plan to make sure they’re all up to par. Our city taxes are a little bit higher than other communities, but if the road in front of your house gets redone, you aren’t assessed anything for it. In other communities, you might get a bill in the mail for $10,000 or $20,000 for it.”

Terra Linda Park and Valley Place Park

Isenberg says, “No matter where you live in New Hope, you’re probably no more than a mile from a park,” and this is especially true for Terra Linda. All of Terra Linda’s housing is within a mile of Terra Linda Park, a 1-acre park with a playground and half basketball court. A mile away, Crystal’s 20-acre Valley Place Park is a larger green space with additional amenities, including two hockey rinks and a sledding hill in the winter. Two pocket parks, Sunnyview Park and Winnetka Hills Park, are also within a mile of the neighborhood.
