Suburban-living along the Victory Memorial Parkway

Expansive medians dotted with elm trees welcome residents into this northern Minneapolis suburb along the Victory Memorial Parkway – a park-like drive with World War I memorials and a paved pedestrian and bicycle pathway connecting residents to nearby Camden and Victory to the north. “It's a very popular neighborhood with family-owned gems like Tooties, my favorite local restaurant and bar,” says long-time local Stephanie Gruver, Realtor with RE/MAX Results. Cleveland is known for its small-town feel and community-oriented atmosphere, which are products of local mainstays like The Lowry Café and events like the annual Music & Movies at Victory Park, hosted in part by the Cleveland Neighborhood Association. Amenities like Cleveland Park's splash pad and Lakeview Terrace Park's boat ramp keep residents busy year-round. With easy access to U.S. Interstate 94, 6-mile commutes into downtown Minneapolis are highly accessible.

Classic Colonials and Tudor cottages

The real estate market in Cleveland is attractive for its entry-level pricing and proximity to local landmarks like the Victory Memorial Parkway. With a median sales price of $218,000, homes here are more affordable than the average property in the Minneapolis Metro Area. With an average construction year of the late 1920s, Cleveland features home styles common of the era, from bungalows and Cape Cods to Colonial and Tudor designs. Homes on Xerxes Avenue enjoy unobstructed views of the Victory Memorial Parkway and are subject to increased price points. “Cleveland has some very beautiful houses regardless of what street you’re on, but the Parkway homes have really stately, classic architecture,” says Gruver, who has been selling in the area for over 15 years. Single-family homes range from the low $100,000s for a two-bedroom bungalow fixer-upper to upwards of $400,000 for an updated two-bedroom Cape Cod along Xerxes Avenue. While the area is primarily made up of single family homes, some multi-family duplexes are also available and range from the low $300,000s to upwards of $400,000. Homes here are often fronted by mid-sized yards with paved entryways and detached garages. Streets are highly walkable, with paved sidewalks connecting the traditional grid layout of the neighborhood.

Picnics and pick-up games at Cleveland Park

Some residents are within walking distance of Cleveland Park on the southeast side, which acts as the primary gathering spot for neighbors. Visitors can enjoy a picnic on the wooden tables or play a quick basketball game on the paved court. There’s also a splash pad here, popular during the summer. Western residents overlook the expansive tree-lined medians that make up the Memorial Parkway. Cyclists can bike along the designated paths that line this 3.8-mile stretch, offering ample room for walking, jogging and biking.

Teams practice on the baseball fields in the spring while children climb on the playground on-site. Theodore Wirth Regional Park is 3 miles south with 760 acres of woodlands and waterfront vistas to explore.

We have access to many parkways and trails. Minneapolis won for best bike trail system in 2013, but many people do not have the option of using them.

Not a good area to shop; wouldn't go out alone at night in the "retail" areas, mostly small local barbershops.

I've experienced the most community-minded neighbors here out of everywhere I've lived. Everyone has each other's backs and wants to make living here pleasant. There is some crime and a fair amount of reckless/very fast driving. I love our city council member and the largely liberal mindedness and diversity that comes with living here.
