Seward pairs riverfront scenery, bike-first streets, and creative energy just minutes from downtown Minneapolis. Bordered by the Mississippi River gorge and connected to nearby Cedar-Riverside and Longfellow, the neighborhood offers quick access to trails, transit, and the cultural buzz of the University district, all within Hennepin County. Historic Milwaukee Avenue’s restored worker cottages hint at the area’s past, while everyday life unfolds along Franklin Avenue with markets, murals, and coffeehouses that reward a stroll.
Weekends often revolve around green space and community. Families gravitate to Matthews Park & Recreation Center, a hub for playground time, pick-up games, and seasonal events. The beloved Seward Community Co-op anchors grocery runs with local produce and cooking classes, while the Northern Clay Center showcases ceramics, hands-on workshops, and exhibitions that draw art lovers from across the city. For K–8, Seward Montessori School is a point of pride, offering a distinctive program within Minneapolis Public Schools. Commuters appreciate flat, well-marked bike routes and easy connections to the river parkway, with light rail and major bus lines nearby to simplify downtown and campus commutes.
Whether you’re eyeing a classic duplex, a condo near the Greenway, or a single-family home on a quiet block, Seward delivers an everyday ease that’s hard to beat. If you’re ready to move—or ready to sell—Agent Pronto can connect you with a top local real estate pro who knows Seward inside and out.
