The site of the Minneapolis Sculpture Park, Lowry Hill neighborhood of Minneapolis is an affluent neighborhood of expensive homes, condominiums, and apartment complexes. Partly because of the high costs of homes and limited housing options, the majority of people in Lowry rent instead of own their homes. Some of the least expensive homes in Lowry Hill are on the market for just over $200,000, and the prices can reach into the millions of dollars.
Residents and visitors come to this area of the Twin Cities in part for this and similar art experiences. The Walker Art Center is also adjacent to this community, along with the Dunwoody College of Technology. When you are in Lowry Park you can see a great view of the heart of Downtown, rising up among the art and cultural offerings of the area. The traffic can be quite heavy at times with tourists, residents, and business people all moving throughout the same neighborhood, but the neighborhood is fairly clean. Even amid the hustle of the pace you still feel safe and secure in this community.
Thomas Lowry Park, named after the real estate guru who helped develop the neighborhood, gives visitors and those lucky few who live in the area plenty of possibilities for recreation. There are some great paths for walking and taking in the tree-lined scenic streets.
