About four hundred cottages and ranches, with Washington Park’s pond nearby. This is the Roosevelt Park area at its most established.
Washington Park South is in the Roosevelt Park area of Richfield, between Portland Avenue, 77th Street, Bloomington Avenue and 75th Street. It has around 400 single-family homes, mostly cottages and ranches.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
What’s close by
Washington Park has open green space and a large pond. Shopping just across I-494 has outdoor gear, home improvement, a warehouse club and quick dining. A fitness club and summer Concerts in the Park are nearby. See Richfield parks and trails and community life.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: Washington Park South is served by Richfield Public Schools (ISD 280). Nearby schools include Partnership Academy, Richfield High School and Centennial Elementary. Boundaries can change, so confirm the assigned schools for any address with the district.
- Older homes: In an established neighborhood, ask about the age of the roof, windows, electrical and sewer line, and budget for updates where needed.
- Condition: Roof, windows, mechanicals and drainage tell you more about a home’s next ten years than the paint color does. Plan a professional inspection.
