Midcentury and executive homes eight miles from downtown Minneapolis
Fairview Southwest is a suburban neighborhood with various home styles about the same distance from downtown Minneapolis and downtown Saint Paul. “In the 1950s, 3M executives sought to build homes outside the downtowns of the Twin Cities,” says Scott Rehovsky, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty. “Fairview was adjacent to Roseville and right next to the highway. But when Rosedale Center was built in 1969, that was the moment that these 3M families said, ‘That’s the place for us.’ They built custom, one-of-a-kind and architecturally unique homes, each different from the next. You can imagine the lighthearted competition that probably existed when these homes were being built.” Fairview also provides hard-to-beat proximity to lakes, golf courses, Como Park and the Bell Museum.
The Fairview Southwest neighborhood offers a selection of 1960's contemporary homes.

From condominiums to French Country-style estate homes
Buyers can find condominiums, three-bedroom ranch-style homes, and luxury homes with more than 5,000 square feet. “Buyers in Fairview Southwest work in Saint Paul as well as Minneapolis. They’re both less than 8 miles away, so it’s a short commute,” says Rehovsky. “Another key benefit is that the schools are close to home. Brimhall Elementary is right in the middle of the neighborhood.” Condominium homes are adjacent to Interstate 35 West on the neighborhood's north side and offer abundant amenities, including libraries, elevators, tennis courts, community gardens and indoor pools. One- and two-bedroom units ranging from 800 to 1,400 square feet have recently sold from about $115,000 to $200,000. Mid-century ranch-style homes range from about $300,000 to $700,000, depending on the extent of recent renovations. Custom French Country-inspired estate homes adjacent to the city of Falcon Heights' Community Park have recently sold for around $1 million, while well-maintained tri-level contemporary homes from the 1960s have recently sold for around $640,000.

While Como Park, Zoo & Conservatory is 3 miles southeast, it is a powerful attraction for families and kids. Says Rehovsky, “Lake Como is the closest lake to Fairview Southwest. It is truly a year-round destination. In summer, they offer theatre productions at the lake’s edge every night. In winter, they offer warming pavilions and ice skating.
