Longfellow Homes for Sale

Welcome to Longfellow

Part of the southeastern section of Minneapolis, Longfellow is a defined community within the city that includes five smaller neighborhoods. These smaller enclaves are: Cooper, Hiawatha, Howe, Seward, and Longfellow. Generally speaking, this section of the city is grouped with Southern Minneapolis along the city’s eastern border with the Mississippi River.

The community takes its name from the Longfellow neighborhood, which in turn takes its name from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, a renowned American poet.

Today, Longfellow is a beloved community of bungalow-style Craftsman homes, many of which are the Sears Catalog homes which were built in the 1920s.  In addition to the historic homes, there are also several recreational attractions like the Danish American Center.

Additional Background on Longfellow

The section of the city known as Longfellow was not officially annexed into Minneapolis from Richfield under 1887.

Afterward, the area was largely built between 1906 through the 1920s, which is when the streetcar and residential rail became accessible.

As the greater Minneapolis area grew, so did Longfellow.

Plenty to See and Do Here

Today, Longfellow is a distinctive and established section of the city, and residents living here enjoy easy access to such everyday amenities as pharmacies, banks, and grocery stores.

What’s more, there are plenty of recreational amenities to enjoy in the area.

In addition to being home to the Danish American Center, this community is also the site of Minnehaha Falls, which was once a national attraction and is still regarded as an important cultural icon of the Twin Cities.

In fact, the community (particularly Minnehaha Falls) gained national attention shortly after the release of the poet Longfellow’s popular The Song of Hiawatha.

There are also a number of unique boutiques and restaurants located in and around the community.
