Suburban-living along Minnehaha Creek

Named after the tangled cluster of winding streets below West 50th Street, Tangletown is so secluded that it’s easy to forget that Downtown Minneapolis is only 5 miles away. “Streets in Tangletown feature hills and roads that wind throughout the community — this is very unique and atypical of any other community in Minneapolis,” says Mary Schumann, Realtor with Keller Williams Integrity Lakes. Home to the historic Washburn Park Water Tower – the highest elevation point in south Minneapolis, Tangletown was established on the hills of what was once rolling countryside in the 19th century. The community is highly sought-after for its urban accessibility, highly rated schools and stately homes. Bordered by U.S. Interstate-35W on the East side and the Minnehaha Creek to the South, Tangletown offers easy access to the best the Twin Cities have to offer while maintaining a connection to nature and the outdoor lifestyle popular in Minnesota.

Stately Tudors and Colonial Revivals

Large estates adorn the hills around the Washburn Water Tower in Tangletown. The community includes an eclectic variety of houses that developed around the early 1930s. Home styles in Tangletown range from stately Tudors and Colonial Revivals to minimal traditionals and Prairie styles. The real estate market in Tangletown is competitive, with very little inventory and a median sales price of $470,000. “This is a destination neighborhood where buyers can wait years for the right property to become available,” Schumann says. One bonus for buyers is that homes stay on the market longer because of higher price points, but almost 80% of them sell above the list price. Homes here range from the mid $200,000s for a two-bedroom minimal traditional to upwards of $1.3 Million for a four-bedroom Tudor along Minnehaha Creek. Estates found along Minnehaha Parkway are subject to increased price points here. Homes here often feature multi-car garages and are fronted by porches and large lawns with ample room for gardening.

Classic tudor-style homes are a staple in Tangletown.

Businesses in my city are fantastic. There is variety and many of them are either near by or just a short car ride, or bus ride, away.
