Sometimes the most stressful choices come when you have to decide between two or more good options. If you have been looking at homes in the Minneapolis Twin Cities area, you already know this. Deciding on a particular community in metro Minnesota can be a difficult task.
The name “Minneapolis” has been sort of super-sized to encompass the entire Twin Cities metro and outlying communities. Out-state Minnesotans sometimes call this region “The Cities,” referring to the entire collection of cities, suburbs, and even small outlying towns encompassing the area.
If you are from out-of-state, you probably just googled something like “Minneapolis MN homes for sale,” probably with the assumption that the search would bring up results for the broader area. When you try to narrow down the choices to a specific Twin Cities neighborhood or suburb, you may feel challenged by the overwhelming number of choices. As a Minnesota REALTOR who has been selling Minneapolis MN homes for a number of years, I can tell you that you can’t go wrong on any of them. However, as a seasoned agent, I can look closely at your housing or lifestyle preferences to provide you with the best possible information so you can make the right decisions. It would be my pleasure to share resources and up-to-date data regarding schools, business, and home sales for any of the communities.
Are you concerned about crime? Real estate agents who make representations about crime levels for particular communities are walking on legal thin ice, because it could be construed as “steering.” However, I realize that safety is an important issue for you and your family. I will provide you with Minnesota crime reports and Minneapolis crime maps so you see the data for yourself.
Is the Twin Cities “safe?” The data will speak for itself. Compared to other metropolitan areas of this size, we enjoy a reputation for having a low crime rate.
High Quality of Life in Minneapolis Minnesota
Minneapolis is a major cultural hub for the five-state region and beyond. The city is home to cutting-edge architecture that includes the stunning new Guthrie Theater, the Walker Art Center, and the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.
If you settle down here, you will always have something to do. There is a 50 mile bike trail, plenty of lush green parkways more lakes than just about any other city in the USA. Minneapolis also has more parks per square than anyplace in the U.S. Every spring, many suburbanites will drive into Minneapolis to bike along the verdant parkways festooned with the blossoms of flowering fruit trees. There are endless opportunities for roller-blading, jogging, fishing, and sailing. In the winter, there is cross-country skiing and skating at public outdoor rinks that feature toasty warming houses. Every outdoor sport imaginable is found here. If you are a sports fan, there are several professional teams that make their homes in Minneapolis.
All of these things contribute to a high quality of life. It is this quality of life that makes the Minneapolis real estate market more resilient than many metro areas. It’s no secret that this is a home buyer’s market right now. But every real estate market is different. Over the last 50 years, the value of Minneapolis MN homes has appreciated an average of 5% per year.

They also know that this is the only significant business center between Chicago and Seattle.
