The Bancroft neighborhood of south Minneapolis developed primarily in 1910-1930, when residents would hop on street cars along Bloomington and Cedar to go downtown to work.It also has the appeal of being not far from lakes and Minnehaha Parkway.
This popular and affordable area is primarily residential, with charming houses built before 1940 that are 79% owner occupied. 21% of the residents have at least some college, and 48% are families with children. Average sale price of Bancroft homes sold this past year was $175,328.
The combination of homes with character, affordable prices and welcoming community makes this a neighborhood especially appealing to first-time homebuyers.
