Home to around 6,000 residents, the University neighborhood is located east of downtown Minneapolis.
Here’s what to know, whether you’re selling, buying or just curious.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
What to know
The Mississippi River divides the neighborhood into the west bank and the east bank. The neighborhood is almost entirely occupied by the University of Minnesota, hence its name, University.
The University of Minnesota is one of the top public universities in the country and has campuses throughout the state though its primary campus is located within this neighborhood. The UofM’s main campus in Minneapolis inhabits about 2,000 acres of land. The University of Minnesota, Twin Cities includes the Minneapolis and Saint Paul campuses. Because of the school’s presence, many college-aged individuals and students choose to reside within the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood.
The housing options within the University neighborhood are limited. The majority of residents are either students of the U of M living in on-campus housing or they are individuals living in one of several apartment buildings.
More details
Located within the neighborhood is TCF Bank Stadium which is an outdoor stadium on the campus of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. Opened in 2009, the stadium is the home field of the Minnesota Golden Gophers and hosted the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings while they constructed their new stadium.
The neighborhood also contains several other facilities that belong to the University of Minnesota. Such facilities include Center for Magnetic Resonance Research, Biomedical Discovery District, Mariucci Arena, Northrop Memorial Auditorium, and the University Aquatic Center. There are also several popular dining areas outside the stadium to enjoy after a game such as Buffalo Wild Wings, Punch Pizza, or several Chinese takeouts.
