Walkable neighborhood 10 minutes north of downtown

Located northwest of downtown, Jordan is a Minneapolis neighborhood with a dense city feel. “It’s very urban. It’s in the Near North area, which is still pretty close to the heart of Minneapolis,” says Markesha Smith, a Realtor with Re/Max Realty who recently sold a home in the neighborhood. Jordan is roughly 10 minutes from downtown Minneapolis by car, and it’s also walkable and well-connected by bus. “The biggest draw for people is the price,” Smith adds. Houses in the area typically list between $100,000 and $350,000, lower than many other Minneapolis neighborhoods. However, what most people don’t know about Jordan is that it’s also home to a surprisingly lively arts scene, and the presence of local businesses and nonprofits gives this neighborhood its strong community spirit.

Classic homes in an affordable price range

Homes in Jordan sit packed together on narrow, gridded streets. Lots are small but grassy, outlined by chain-link fences and trees that hang above the sidewalk. Many homes here were built in the early 1900s, with popular styles of the time including bungalows, American Foursquares and Craftsman houses. Screened-in front porches and colorfully accented trim are common features, and most also have a petite backyard with a detached garage in the alley behind. About half of residents in Jordan own their homes, with the median price for housing being roughly $220,000. Those willing to put in the elbow grease might find a fixer-upper for under $100,000, though a well-maintained historic bungalow with four bedrooms can also sell for as high as $350,000.

Hmong International Academy celebrates diversity

Artists find a home along West Broadway

West Broadway is home to a lively arts scene populated by organizations celebrating Minneapolis’ Near North community and its creative spirit. Juxtaposition Arts is a local, teenager-staffed non-profit committed to supporting young artists, allowing them to enroll in classes, use the studio space or be inspired by local galleries. Those who prefer the performing arts can head to the Capri Theater, a West Broadway cornerstone since 1927. Owned by PCYC, a nonprofit committed to bringing arts education and youth programming to the Northside, the entertainment hub hosts a full schedule of musical performances, live theater and film screenings. It’s even home to the West Broadway Farmer’s Market on Fridays in summer.

Fresh and Local options for the community

A hearty meal is never far in Jordan: Sammy’s Avenue Eatery bills itself as more than just a restaurant, but also a place for neighbors to gather with good conversation and good eats.

There is a lot to do here in Minneapolis. Downtown is fun, there are several businesses from entertainment to fine restaurants in the city. You can attend the Target Center for a basketball game, or Target Field for a baseball game. We have dozens of shopping centers, and one close by that everyone knows about: Mall of America.
