Old trees over the sidewalks, the Mississippi at the edge of the neighborhood and downtown just minutes away. Marshall Terrace has a quiet, traditional feel.
Marshall Terrace is in Northeast Minneapolis, between St. Anthony Parkway and Lowry Avenue, with the Mississippi River to the west and 4th Street NE and University Avenue to the east. It’s named for William R. Marshall, Minnesota’s fifth governor. Part of the area is industrial; the residential streets are mostly one- and one-and-a-half-story single-family homes.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
The river and the park
Marshall Terrace Park, about 6.5 acres along the Mississippi, has baseball and softball fields, a basketball court, a picnic area with grill, a playground and a wading pool, plus river views. See Minneapolis parks and trails.
Local restaurants and neighborhood bars nearby give the area its own easygoing social life.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: Marshall Terrace 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 Marshall Terrace 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.
