The University District - Live Near Your Work

 

Prospect Park

Three neighborhoods in one: A hilly, woodsy village just minutes from both downtowns; a trendy new modern community north of University avenue with pubs and markets; and a diverse vibrant rental hub with student activity, food and coffee shops.

Prospect Park residents enjoy living in what's considered one of Minneapolis' best-kept secrets. Winding, tree-lined streets where no two homes are alike, complemented by a large diverse busy rental community near the University filled with restaurants and other activity, make this neighborhood a treasure that attracts a diverse group of fascinating residents.

Five reasons you’ll love Prospect Park
