Victory is positioned 5 miles northwest of the downtown area and has quick access to many major highways. With a population of around 3,500 residents, Victory offers a peaceful, residential sanctuary that is within the large city of Minneapolis.
The neighborhood is comprised of vintage homes from the 1920s through the 1960’s, with several being currently renovated. The majority of the homes in Victory are predominantly single-family homes that Tudors and Craftsmans built 80 years ago. The bigger homes that are in comparable styles are located beside Victory Memorial Drive and there are several multi-family housing units situated in the center of the neighborhood.
The Victory Neighborhood Events Committee contains Victory locals who plan events such as Live on the Drive, Spring Cleaning, Farmer’s Market and other activities. The most notable neighborhood event is the Party in the Park. This event occurs in the summer and is the perfect way to connect neighbors with resources, opportunities, and other neighbors in their community. The event is held on the green space between Cleveland Park and Lucy Craft Laney School and includes all of the residents in the surrounding neighborhoods. The summer Party in the Park has a Back to School theme and is a great way to end the summer each year.
