A small residential pocket with quick highway access and a big summer water park nearby. Northeast Park is compact and convenient.
Northeast Park is in Northeast Minneapolis. Its western part is mostly residential, including restored Victorian-era homes; the center is The Quarry shopping center; and the east side includes Hillside Cemetery and industrial land. I-35W gives quick access to downtown.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
Water park, theater and coffee
The Jim Lupient Water Park has big water slides, a splash pad and lap lanes, with a mini golf course next door, and there are ballfields nearby for leagues and pickup games. The neighborhood is also home to the Nimbus Theatre and local coffee shops.
The art studios of Logan Park and Sheridan are close. See Minneapolis parks and trails.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: Northeast Park 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 Northeast Park 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.
