Old brick, river views and a stretch of 13th Avenue that has become one of the city’s favorite places for art, food and live theater. Sheridan has a lot of personality for its size.
Sheridan is in Northeast Minneapolis, from Washington Street NE west to the Mississippi, and from Broadway north to 17th and 18th Avenues NE. It’s named for Civil War General Philip Sheridan. Most homes were built between about 1890 and 1930, a mix of single-family houses, duplexes and small apartment buildings, and parts of the area were built for industry.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
13th Avenue, the Grain Belt complex and the river
The commercial strip along 13th Avenue NE is the heart of the neighborhood, with galleries, cafes, restaurants and the historic Ritz Theater, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
By the river, the Grain Belt complex combines a library branch, artist studios and a landmark brewery building, next to Sheridan Memorial Park. The park is a quiet place to reflect, with walkways, peace gardens and markers honoring the conflicts in which Minnesotans have served. See Minneapolis parks and trails.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: Sheridan 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.

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.
