Northeast: A Brief Overview -

As the oldest community in Minneapolis, Northeast has developed into one of the most desirable residential neighborhoods in the entire city. It is an authentic, European style-walking neighborhood with everything conveniently located within a short distance. The variety of available houses, both for rent and for sale, is extraordinary. Condos, townhomes, high-rises, low-rises and traditional single family homes all coexist securely in this delightful and historic small-town community. There is something for everyone in this community of almost 40,000 residents.

The location is superb, as the community offers a separate haven from the hub of downtown, but is just within minutes of the area by countless ways of transportation. From art galleries to theaters to piano bars to clubs, Northeast offers a variety of options for entertainment that appeal to anyone and everyone. You can take a walk down the sidewalks and discover some of the best shopping in the Twin Cities. Northeast is home to many unique shops, antique stores, ethnic restaurants, and fashionable boutiques.

Variations of events take place in Northeast each year, which unite community residents, businesses, and even visitors all together. Some of the most popular events are fireworks on New Year’s Eve and the Fourth of July, Art-A-whirl that takes place in May, the Celebrate Northeast Parade in June, and the Holiday Train in December.

It would be a mistake to not mention the beauty of this community. Locals can enjoy the jaw dropping and picturesque outlooks that Northeast provides from the many parks that surround the Mississippi River. The parks are equipped with walking and biking trails that can be utilized year-round and many offer scenic views of the Minneapolis skyline.

This old, historic, family-friendly, conveniently located, and charming city is the perfect place to live for those looking for an exciting atmosphere.
