Downtown Minneapolis/ North Loop Neighborhood (from Minnesota Monthly)

2009 MEDIAN SALES PRICE: $291,100**
DINING/ENTERTAINMENT: Top-shelf
NEWEST ATTRACTION: Target Field

There are few better ’hoods than the North Loop for thirtysomething Power Singles (high income, highly educated), Ramen Metros (urban singles sans high incomes), or downsizing baby boomers. Homes run to lofty open spaces in renovated warehouses with concrete floors and exposed brick. From its gritty industrial past, the North Loop has morphed into a residential neighborhood with the city’s hottest nightclub scene.

Residents walk to work (through skyways come winter) or just settle in with laptops at any one of a half-dozen independent coffee joints in the neighborhood. Corner Coffee offers lattes and a lot more, including an annual “lunch is on us” that served 700 last year. On the patio at Cuzzy’s Bar in dog-friendly North Loop, everybody will know your name (or at least your dog’s name). Great dining abounds—Sapor Café/Bar, Toast Wine Bar & Cafe, Be’Wiched Deli, and Bar La Grassa, to name a few. Groceries?  Minneapolis Farmers’ Market in the summer and Lunds just across the river all year round. Then there’s the new kid in the neighborhood: Target Field, which now dominates the skyline and is guaranteed to increase community cachet, and probably property values as well.
