According to the Northstar Regional Minneapolis MLS at the time of this post, there are a total of 69 single family Longfellow homes for sale.  Prices range from the $60’s to $1M.  Average asking price is $210,994.  This figure is skewed upward by a $1.2M Frank Lloyd Wright inspired home boasting two double stall garages and a guest house, and a prime location along the Mississipi River.

The vast majority of these homes are listed in the 100-200k price bracket, and are mostly 1.5 story houses with coved ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, stucco siding, and many of them were built in the 1920’s.  The 1920’s was an era where quality craftsmanship was dominant, and the homes were built rock-solid.  Lathe plaster, heavy oak trim, and built-ins were the norm.  You will see a number of one story bungalows, and a few tudor style homes as well.  There are six handyman specials for sale under 100K.  Looking for newer Minneapolis houses? There are a few two story homes in Hiawatha Commons that were built in 2000 and sport vintage style architecture.
