[DEV] Live Minneapolis - Saint Paul

Northeast Park is roughly divided into three sections: the western section is mainly residential and is home to a number of restored Victorian era homes and rental properties. In the middle of the neighborhood, The Quarry, a large regional shopping center, is a buffer between the small residential portion of the neighborhood and the eastern section which is home to Hillside Cemetery and Honeywell International manufacturing. The neighborhood’s park is a major attraction—with excellent playing fields, a new water park, and a golf putting course. Northeast Park has quick access to downtown Minneapolis via I-35 and is close to the artist galleries in the nearby Logan Park and Sheridan neighborhoods. Additional development is taking place along Central Avenue as well.

History

Streetcars once connected Northeast Park to downtown Minneapolis. The Johnson Street Quarry (now home to the Quarry shopping center) provided building materials for many structures in the Twin Cities. Following World War II, amidst a nation-wide housing shortage, returning veterans were housed in Quonset huts just outside of the current Quarry shopping center site.

Housing Styles and Types
