I grew up in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, just north of Minneapolis. But I rode my bike there all the time. I especially remember swimming in the Camden pool and going to the old fashioned stylish theater in Camden to watch movies. Our family spent many Christmas times driving around Victory Memorial Drive to look at the lights.
Neighborhoods have a life cycle like people do, except they rejuvenate. Many parts of North Minneapolis offer quality housing for moderate prices. I would like to move there some day.
Here is one example of what you may find there, if you are looking for a home. I have listed this authentic Craftsman style renovation that is done right! Here's some info on it, by the way it is listed at $138,000, and is located at 3726 Girard Ave. N. Mpls, MN 55412.
This carefully remodeled Craftsman Style home will be appreciated by anyone with a sense of history and style. It features leaded glass, Mission style doors and trim and new lighting. And the kitchen with its high end brushed stainless appliances and granite counter tops, ceramic flooring and deck will simply seal the deal. Please note the high-end space saver brushed stainless combo washer/dryer neatly tucked out of the way.
Everything listed below is new unless noted otherwise.
