"Good" neighborhoods in north Minneapolis
I just graduated college and got a job in Brooklyn Park lined up. I absolutely flat out refuse to live in suburbs (I'd be bored out of my mind), but I don't want to commute too far to work. This means I probably have to look for a place in north Minneapolis. What are the areas that aren't so crime-filled?

Ask a realitor that specializes in Minneapolis proper homes. Good parts of north do exist. You just have to find a good block with good neighbors and well kept homes.

North of Dowling Avenue is generally a safer area of North Minneapolis. I believe that there were only two murders in 2006 on the North Side north of Dowling and both of those were within a block or two of Dowling Avenue (in the Webber-Camden Neighborhood).
The Shingle Creek, Victory, and Lind-Bohanon neighborhoods had no murders in 2006 but interestingly and unfortunately there was a murder only a few hours into 2007 in the Lind-Bohanon neigborhood.

Dowling or north of that isnt so bad. Seems to kind of be the cutoff point.
I would look in the Victory neighborhood.

The neighborhood that borders brooklyn park and robbinsdale is very nice, as far burbs go the towns that border MPLS really aren't suburbs. You have to get out of the 494 loop on the west-side for it to be burbs

Alot of people living within Minneapolis proper would disagree with that.

I live in Camden, north of Dowling. I can't believe how QUIET my neighborhood is! The houses are quite small, but there are many for sale nearby. I moved there from Northeast MPLS, which I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED. (I got married) But it was ALOT more noisy there (street traffic) but there was alot more to do NE.
