Sitting right by Interstate 35 is Regina, one of three towns in FRNNG, the Field Regina Northop Neighborhood Group in Hennepin County. Patrick Paulson, a Realtor of over 35 years in the Twin Cities, explains how residents often choose to live in Regina because of the surrounding areas: "When we talk about neighborhoods in south Minneapolis like this one, they're so close together you can walk from one to another. What attracts people to them are usually the same things." Walkability and access to amenities other neighborhoods provide are a huge draw. Homes in Regina start at $220,000 and go up to $500,000.

From Craftsman to Spanish Colonial homes

Most homes in Regina were built from 1900 to 1940, reflected in the neighborhood's architecture. These styles include ramblers, Tudors, Craftsmen and even the occasional Spanish Colonial home. Prices start at $220,000 and go up to $500,000, with the median sell price being about $300,000.

May the best duck win

The FRNNG is the neighborhood association of Regina and frequently holds events for the community. A favorite is the annual Minnehaha Creek Duck Race. A flock of rubber ducks are sent out into the creek, and families gather to watch them race downstream. The event also features food trucks, face painting, a raffle and a meet & greet with the Minnesota Fire Department. The HOA also often holds events at McRae Park, which serves as the hub of the community.

Of course there will be some crime in a city the size of Minneapolis, but considering that, I feel very safe at home alone. One problem is how icy the streets and sidewalks will get in the winter time.

One of the main reasons I love living in Minneapolis is because every individual is so different and everyone is so accepting.

In the winter months, there are always plows getting snow and ice off of the roads and in the summer months, there is always construction to try to fix the potholes.
