Two hundred ramblers and ranches north of 66th Street, minutes from three major highways. Garfield Park makes the commute easy.
Garfield Park is on the north side of Richfield, north of 66th Street between Portland and Lyndale Avenues. It has about 200 single-family homes, rambler and ranch styles.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
What’s close by
I-35W, I-494 and Highway 62 are all close, so downtown Minneapolis and the suburbs are an easy drive. The West Shopping Center next to Richfield Lake has a pharmacy, a gym, shops and restaurants, and Wood Lake Nature Center, Southdale Center, Donaldson Park, Veterans Park and Cedar Point Commons are nearby. See Richfield parks and trails and community life.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: Garfield Park is served by Richfield Public Schools (ISD 280). Nearby schools include Richfield High School, Sheridan Hills Elementary, Richfield Middle School and Blessed Trinity Catholic School. Boundaries can change, so confirm the assigned schools for any address with the district.
- Older homes: In an established neighborhood, ask about the age of the roof, windows, electrical and sewer line, and budget for updates where needed.
- Condition: Roof, windows, mechanicals and drainage tell you more about a home’s next ten years than the paint color does. Plan a professional inspection.
