NOTE: see the bottom of Sunday's Site posts for homes for sale in the area
Adjoining the northwest corner of Minneapolis, Robbinsdale was founded in 1893 as its first suburb…around Lake Crystal, where people traveled to go duck hunting in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Now a suburb only 15 minutes from downtown with a small town feel, it is made up primarily of single family homes and is also home to the regional North Memorial Medical Center. When I was showing homes here this weekend, my client commented on how she really likes the feel of the area…charming homes with historic character, a great neighborhood feel, easy access to downtown Minneapolis and affordable prices. She especially loves the eastern edge of Robbinsdale, which borders Victory Memorial Parkway…a Grand Rounds National Scenic Byway.
Its downtown area has a small-town feel, with the kinds of local businesses you would expect to find on Main Street USA…including an Ace hardware store, Paeonia Floral, Wuollets Bakery, Hackenmueller Meats (gets rave reviews!) and Thistles, a charming neighborhood bistro.
