Whittier
Current Resident: Whittier is my favorite neighborhood in the city. It's got great food options, and I love that it's managed to maintain ethnic diversity (so far), even as high-end amenities have moved in. The mix of housing options is also impressive. It's not unusual to see low rise apartments across the street from literal mansions around here.
It's also very conveniently located. I can walk to the indy theaters in Uptown, and it's a quick bus ride to downtown and st. louis park for errands. It's half an hour to my favorite south mpls venues (like the parkway and trylon), and under 20 minutes if I bike.
Speaking of biking, Whitter is perfect for bikers. It's super flat, and connects to a ton of major bike lanes, including the Greenway.
The recent rise of condos on Nicollet has me a little worried for the future of the neighborhood, but the encroachment seems to be pretty slow. I'm hoping for another good decade before we get overrun with shiny rich kid boxes like Uptown.... Read 8 reviews
