Best Minneapolis neighborhoods for families

50th & France on the Edina line and the lowest violent rate in this set. Quiet streets, high incomes, a bus ride from downtown.

A village commercial node between Harriet and Bde Maka Ska. The southwest family read of the city.

Between Cedar Lake and the Isles. Quiet streets, a trail system, and a name that is three neighborhoods glued together.

Bungalows, a commercial strip, and a south-side family default between Whittier and Minnehaha Creek.

Mansions on the hill above the Walker. Quieter than the Wedge, still inner, still a walk to the lakes.

The lake used to be Calhoun; the official name is East Bde Maka Ska. Beach, trail, and the west edge of Uptown.

The Witch's Hat tower and a pocket of houses east of campus. Official name is Prospect Park - East River Road.

Formerly CARAG. The south half of the Uptown bar shed, with more houses than Lowry Hill East.

The park is the living room; downtown is a walk. Apartment density without the warehouse look of the North Loop.

Dinkytown is the search term; Marcy Holmes is the official neighborhood. Students, the river, and a short walk to campus.
