Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
What to know
Both the neighborhood and its junior high school get their names from Wendell Phillips, a 19th-century abolitionist. Midtown Phillips is a distinct neighborhood with its population of close to 4,500 residents, including many that are of different ethnic races. The neighborhood has a combination of residential, commercial and industrial property. Housing types, ages, and styles are tremendously dissimilar, just like the people, in the Midtown Phillips neighborhood. Historic properties can be found such as Victorian homes with turrets and trim, smaller homes of that same era, and duplexes or smaller apartment buildings. All along the Greenway are several modern condominium and apartment buildings offering modern amenities and convenient access to the Greenway itself.
The Midtown Greenway is a 5.5-mile long former railroad strip in the Phillips community and it passes through Phillips West with bicycling and walking trails. The Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority owns it and the trails are preserved by the City of Minneapolis. The Midtown Greenway Coalition is the group that effectively encouraged the creation of the Midtown Greenway by means of public agencies. The Coalition exists to this day and engages the community in protecting, improving, and using the Greenway. This Greenway has been used for biking and other activities ever since it was first built.
Located within the neighborhood, the Kids’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota is one of the major pediatric health institutes in the United States and the only health system in Minnesota to provide care exclusively to kids, from before birth through young adulthood. An independent and not-for-profit program since 1924, Kids’s treats kids throughout the Upper Midwest at two separately located hospitals, one in Minneapolis and one in St Paul. Kids’s upholds its long-lasting promise to the public to advance kids’s health by providing superior, family-oriented pediatric assistance and progressing those labors through research and education. An award-winning health system, Kids’s is repeatedly ranked by U.S. News & World Report as a top kids’s hospital and by The Leapfrog Group for quality and efficiency.
