What to know
The Longfellow neighborhood is one of five neighborhoods located within the Longfellow community. The community in which Longfellow resides in is well-known for the Mississippi River and its biking and walking trails on the east. Furthermore, there is the lush Midtown Greenway bike path on its northern border. It is tough to choose just one popular and prevalent feature in the community as it is so full of natural beauty.
Most of the Longfellow neighborhood consists of residential homes. Longfellow offers affordably priced homes in a pleasing, diverse and beautiful neighborhood, with scenery that is difficult not to appreciate. Manageable and artistically pleasing, Howe offers the perfect location for Craftsman cottages. With a population of over 5,000 residents, Longfellow is one of the nicest places to live in the city of Minneapolis.
There are many notable businesses located within the Longfellow neighborhood. The Hub Bike Co-op is just one of the local favorites. The Hub’s unique co-op business model means that every full-time worker is part of the governing body for the company. Each worker earns living wages that support home ownership and having a family. This is made possible by the fact that the company is not run with profit in mind. Rather, it operates to better the community and the lives of its workers. This mentality is part of what makes the Hub such a revered business.

They have a specific chief for each cuisine in order to maintain the authentic quality. Zeke’s Unchained Animal, a local favorite, is a wonderful bar to grab a meal and enjoy some of Minnesota’s finest breweries.
