The “best” depends on your budget, lifestyle, and timeline—here are the standout areas in late 2025:
Premium family neighborhoods ($550K–$900K): Edina, Wayzata, Minnetonka (top schools, lakes)
St. Paul’s Highland Park & Macalester-Groveland (tree-lined, walkable to Grand Ave)
Minneapolis’ Fulton, Lynnhurst, and Kenwood
Vibrant urban feel ($400K–$650K): North Loop & Northeast Minneapolis (breweries, restaurants, riverfront)
St. Anthony Main & Lowertown St. Paul
Best value + appreciation potential (mostly $275K–$425K): North Minneapolis (Victory Memorial, Folwell, Webber-Camden—major revitalization)
Columbia Heights, Brooklyn Center, New Brighton (new construction + Light Rail access)
Payne-Phalen & West St. Paul (solid housing stock, easy commutes)
Up-and-coming hotspots: Midway & Hamline-Midway in St. Paul (Allianz Field + Green Line)
St. Anthony Park (quiet, intellectual vibe near both downtowns)
Longfellow & Cooper in Minneapolis (river access + cooperative spirit)
Pro tip: Use the Minneapolis and St. Paul interactive housing heat maps (updated weekly) to see days-on-market and price-per-square-foot trends in real time. Neighborhoods in light green to yellow are still buyer-friendly; deep red means prepare for competition. Whatever your priorities—schools, commute, nightlife, or investment upside—there’s a Twin Cities pocket that fits in 2025. Reach out for a customized neighborhood tour.
