The Harrison neighborhood of Minneapolis can be found to the west of the Downtown area and has a mix of residential streets, blocks of industrial regions, parks, schools, and shopping venues. If you are looking to move to Harrison, the residential area is in the western part of the neighborhood and consists of a variety of types of homes. There are Victorian style homes or ramblers from the 1970s, homes for purchase and spaces for rent, and the prices are quite reasonable, especially when you consider the ease with which you can reach the amenities of Downtown. There is convenient access to Interstates 94 and 394, and there are plenty of options for public transportation.

One on the highlights of the Harrison neighborhood is the International Market Square. This is a favorite place for people going to get ideas for home improvement and design, as it houses home and commercial space designer showrooms, as well as interior design boutiques. For one stop shopping, the American Institute of Architects of Minnesota has offices within the Square as well.

For those who are looking for outdoor recreation opportunities, Theodore Wirth Park, Harrison Park, and Basset Creek Park have everything from snowboarding or golf to wading pools and basketball courts.
