I absolutely love my town and my neighbors! I have neighbors that welcomed me in with cupcakes and are extremely friendly. The houses in my community are much more affordable than most of the communities in the area. There are a lot of great resources and stores near by, along with beautiful lakes and scenery. I wish we had more quality trails and sidewalks though. We have many great parks but they could use updating. Most of the roads are well cared for but there are some that could use some work. The schools in the area have been improving tremendously and their are more and more quality academy's popping up each year.
Crystal is the average (or slightly below average) Minnesota suburb. The homes are affordable, and there are easily accessible stores in Crystal and the neighboring city, Robbinsdale. There is a plethora of families and children who live in Crystal, as well as multiple schools from the Robbinsdale School District. However, the schools are underfunded and overcrowded--luckily, since Crystal has obscure boundaries, it is extremely easy to open-enroll or fall under a different school district that may be superior to Robbinsdale.
I own a home in the south end of crystal near valley place park and the neighborhood is wonderful! Everyone is friendly and I’ve accidentally I’ve never worried about crime or my safety. There could be some more some more sit down and fast casual restaraunts but robbinsdale or west end is only a 10 minute drive
