Loring Park

• Neighborhood in Minneapolis, MN
• 22

Current Resident: Loring Park is not a friendly community. I haven't figured out why. But, if you like a variety of eaterys, then there's plenty of night life, restaurants and coffee shops. The lifestyle is good, and caters to those that have jobs, cultural, education and a pet friendly environment. This area is great if you need to ride the bus, not too congested for street parking yet shops and stores are close if you prefer to walk. The community is best for single adults or those with no children. But, daycare and middle schools are postioned conviently avaliable for those individuals with families. A safe place to reside with a diversity of ethnicity throughout neighborhood. I like living here in the center of cultural, arts, and theater. To me its the best of city living.

CARAG

• Neighborhood in Minneapolis, MN
• 5

Current Resident: It is a super nice neighborhood, and I have been here for 8 years. However, a lot more luxury housing is going up and overall, a lot of us low to middle class income residents are being pushed out due to the increase in rent (even in buildings that have not be renovated).

Lowry Hill

• Neighborhood in Minneapolis, MN
• 3

Current Resident: I absolutely love living here! Everyone is so friendly and active with biking and walking so available with the lakes right nearby. It’s close enough to uptown for some night life and fun activities on weekends but also tucked away enough so that it’s peaceful and quiet when you need time to relax at home. Great quality of living especially for young families. Only problem is that divesrsity definitely needs some work.

King Field

• Neighborhood in Minneapolis, MN
• 7

Current Resident: Easy bussing to pretty much anywhere in the city. King park is great. In my neighborhood we've had a bunch of families with kids around the same age, and we've all kind of grown up together. It's a great environment. There are lots of pretty new restaurants that have been moving into the area recently, too, particularly on Nicollet. Lots of new bike lanes. Blaisdell gets pretty crazy sometimes during rush hour, it's not controlled well enough (one way, traffic lights instead of stop signs, and there's only parking on one side) but everything west of that is nice, usually very quiet. Very active community, local businesses active in the communities. Block parties and such are pretty good for those reasons.

Whittier

• Neighborhood in Minneapolis, MN
• 5

Current Resident: Whittier strikes a good balance between walkability, location, affordability, and diversity. The area is mostly residential (mix of low-rise brownstones, duplexes and some single-family homes) but it's also surrounded by major business arteries on each side, giving the neighborhood feel at once both laid-back and vibrant. The neighborhood is highly walkable, and its location relative to the rest of the city is just about unbeatable: centrally located near Eat Street, Lyndale, Downtown, Uptown, Midtown Greenway, Wedge Co-Op, Minneapolis Art Institute, Washburn Fair Oaks Park, and the I-94/I-35 interstates.

The area feels safe, while remaining ethnically and economically diverse - it has the advantage of being an "established" neighborhood with many amenities, without having become totally gentrified yet. This gives it the charm which has been completely eroded in other dense Minneapolis neighborhoods like Uptown. Well, enjoy it before the yuppies take it over.

Kenwood

• Neighborhood in Minneapolis, MN
• 2

Current Resident: Close to Lake of the Isles and isolated bike trails, Kenwood is a great neighborhood to live in. The landscaping and architecture are beautiful as well. This neighborhood is within blocks of a bustling city neighborhood, yet, with all of the trees and pedestrians, it feels as if you are in a small town.

Cedar - Isles - Dean

Niche User: I haven't seen or heard about many crimes in the 12 years I've lived here. It's a safe area with lots of police, but not too much where you start to feel on edge.

Lauderdale

• Suburb of Minneapolis, MN
• 4

Current Resident: Friendly neighbors, Quiet Streets and parks galore. You will feel right at home on the winding streets, almost all of with ending in a small flower patch or wetland filled with wildlife. Its not unlikely to pass the same friendly faces on your evening walk, or repeat small talk with neighbors reclining on sunlit porches.

Beltrami

• Neighborhood in Minneapolis, MN
• 1

Current Resident: Local Minneapolis neighborhood Beltrami has all of the amenities to look for when choosing a place to live. Beltrami park, as well as well maintained sidewalks to nearby landmarks like the Stone Arch Bridge allow for an active lifestyle. The location enables access to coffee shops, breweries, restaurants, and shopping. Near to the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District, and easy access to downtown Minneapolis, it is the perfect location for young professionals. Beltrami is also located near the University of Minnesota campus making it an easy distance for students.

Minneapolis

• City in Minnesota
• 430

Current Resident: Minneapolis is a growing community with a lot of diversity. Everybody minds themselves and many are "Minnesota nice." Traffic is only heavy on the freeways during rush hour because of out of town commuters, otherwise the roads are very efficient. Bike lanes are established to keep bikers, pedestrians, and drivers safe from collision. This city is really big in the arts which welcome all ages and plenty of brewery's and night life events for strictly adults to enjoy too. Minneapolis is a quaint metropolis that has far less crime than other large cities around the country. One thing to dislike are the roads during snow storms, they are impossible to maneuver through!
