Harrison sits just west of downtown Minneapolis, where tree-lined streets meet creative studios and well-loved eateries along Glenwood Avenue. Framed by neighbors like Bryn Mawr, Willard-Hay, and the North Loop, the area offers quick skyline views, an easy commute, and a friendly, front-porch pace that appeals to long-timers and first-time buyers alike.
Outdoor time comes naturally here. The trail network and rolling woods of Theodore Wirth Regional Park sit at the neighborhood’s edge, while Bassett Creek Park provides playgrounds, fields, and shady picnic spots closer to home. The Harrison Recreation Center anchors community programs year-round, and cyclists love the quick hop to the Cedar Lake Trail and riverfront routes. For commuters, Metro Transit buses and nearby express routes make downtown and the university area straightforward without the car.
Families appreciate access to Minneapolis Public Schools, with neighborhood options that include Bethune Community School and North High School. Housing spans early 20th-century cottages, classic bungalows, and a growing selection of modern infill, giving movers choices at a range of price points.
