Robbinsdale has a standout food scene and a popular festival

Robbinsdale is a first-ring Minneapolis suburb that combines small-town character with easy access to the Twin Cities. Often called “Birdtown” by locals, the area is known for a vibrant food scene that ranges from casual favorites to celebrated fine-dining spots. Scenic parks and events like the annual Whiz Bang Days festival give people plenty to see and do, and many buyers find the area’s mid-1900s ramblers and bungalows appealing.

What buyers can pay for bungalows, ramblers and Cape Cod homes

When it comes to Twin Cities suburbs, Robbinsdale is on the older side. “Because it's an inner-ring suburb, most of its housing was built in the '40s, '50s and '60s,” says Joel Friday, a Realtor with Keller Williams Classic Realty. That era influenced the area’s wide mix of homes, including bungalows, Cape Cod homes, ramblers and two-story traditional houses. Prices can range from the upper $100,000s to the upper $500,000s. The city is roughly as expensive as neighboring Crystal, and slightly more expensive than Brooklyn Center to the north.
