A neighborhood park, bike lanes to downtown and Powderhorn Park next door. Bryant is small, practical and well connected.
Bryant is in the Powderhorn community of south Minneapolis, between 38th and 42nd Streets East, I-35W and Chicago Avenue. It’s named for the poet William Cullen Bryant. Homes come in a variety of styles, mostly single-family.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
Parks and getting around
I-35W and bike lanes along Park and Portland Avenues make downtown easy to reach. Neighborhood shops line 38th Street.
Phelps Field Park has a basketball court, fields, a playground, picnic area, tennis courts, a wading pool and a Boys & Girls Club, and Powderhorn Park is right next door. See Minneapolis parks and trails.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: Bryant is served by Minneapolis Public Schools. Assignments and boundaries can change, so confirm the assigned schools for any address with the district.
- Older homes: Much of the housing here is a century old or more. Look closely at the foundation, electrical, plumbing, roof and any past updates, and plan a thorough inspection.
- Duplexes and fourplexes: If you’re looking at a multi-unit building to live in, ask about city rental licensing, inspections and existing leases before you write an offer.
A simple plan for your Bryant move
I’ve been helping people sell and buy homes across the Twin Cities for about two decades, and I started in the trades. I look at an older home the way a builder would, and I’ll tell you plainly what I see.
Getting the house ready, or making it yours
If you’re selling and want repairs handled before buyers see them, Super Crew Contractors can give you an estimate. If you’re ready for something custom, Ivy Lane Homes does luxury home building and remodeling. And a quick coverage check with Intrinsic Insurance before closing can save you a surprise.
