Marshall Terrace

Located in the northeast portion of Minneapolis, the Marshall Terrace neighborhood is very much an industrial community, with probably less than 25% of the area devoted to residential living. There are a lot of warehouses, railroad tracks, and some utility departments, especially along the river. The homes that do sit in Marshall Terrace tend to be modest single-family dwellings with 2 or 3 bathrooms, and the home prices in the area are very reasonable. Lots of the homes have alleys in the rear with detached garages so the streets aren’t as crowded as you might find in some neighborhoods. Even though it is located in an industrial community, residential neighborhoods sit apart from much of the industry focus, and the tree-lined streets help to give the neighborhood a more livable feel.
There is a green space in the neighborhood as well called Marshall Terrace Park. This site offers athletic and recreation opportunities like basketball courts, ball fields, a swimming pool, and picnic sites. Kids can do programs here in the summer, too. Sprinkled in between the homes and the industry area are a few restaurants and shops, and the community residents have access by car or by bike trails to the downtown area. If you’re up for the bike ride, the trails along the river in this neighborhood are very scenic.
