CFG Spotlight: Minneapolis Neighborhoods
WHICH DOWNTOWN MINNEAPOLIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
“You are going to spend 1000x more time in your surrounding 5 blocks than you will in any other neighborhood in your city. Thinking about all the things that New York City has—or the next city has—is a lot less important than thinking about the things within the five blocks where you live.
Most neighborhoods in your city you might never step foot in. They might as well be in the other side of the country. But the things in your immediate vicinity are the things that are going to dominate your life. So picking and influencing your neighborhood is really important... the neighborhood determines quite a bit about our life and our happiness.”
The Mill District takes its name from the former flour mills that dotted the bank of the Mississippi River. The Mill District was once the foundation of Minneapolis’ claim as the flour milling capital of the world. A hundred years later those mills have been converted to luxury lofts, and the neighborhood is known for its museums, cultural amenities, and access to a world class park system. The Cynthia Froid Group is proud to have called the Mill District home since 2009.
