I've been meaning to highlight areas of Minneapolis that I enjoy and that are also worth living in. Today I'll be speaking about my own neck of the woods, which is Northeast Minneapolis. There is a lot to do around here, whether you like sports, music, art, or just a cold beer.

This area boasts a strong arts district which hosts something called Art-A-Whirl every year that brings in a lot of local artists and musicians. You can learn more about this festival here.

Northeast Minneapolis is sometimes referred to as Nordeast, and a lot has changed in the last 10 years. However, a lot of old institutions are still here like Jax Cafe, Stanley's, and Elsie's Bowling Alley.

There is also a fairly new place called The Anchor, which serves fish and chips and is one of the highest-rated restaurants in the area. Betty Danger's Country Club has a Ferris Wheel attached to their restaurant, so this is a perfect destination for your family. You can even dine in one of the cars on the Ferris Wheel!

One of the major reasons that the Nordeast is prized is because we have very good schools in this part of the city. Waite Park Elementary School has been ranked extremely high, as well as Northeast Middle School, and then there is Edison High School.

If you're thinking of buying a home in Northeast Minneapolis, I recommend you come out and take a look. It's a very relaxed, family-friendly area. Please don't hesitate to ask me about this part of Minneapolis because I would love to talk to you about it!
