This is an area I just love to drive or bike through. It's one of my favorite areas of Minneapolis.

Tangletown is a neighborhood in the Southwest community of Minneapolis. The neighborhood was officially known as Fuller until 1996 when it was changed to the present name, which reflects the winding streets in the neighborhood that do not conform to the regular street grid of South Minneapolis. The neighborhood boundaries are 46th Street to the north, Interstate 35W to the east, Diamond Lake Road to the south, and Lyndale Avenue South to the west.

The Washburn Park Water Tower is located at the highest point in the neighborhood, while Minnehaha Creek runs through the south side of the neighborhood. Washburn High School is located in this neighborhood.

William Washburn in 1886 who was the lumber and milling tycoon and former senator of the US from Minnesota along with other investors, bought two hundred acres of farmland in close proximity of Minnehaha Creek for an affluent residential development which will be later on called the Washburn Park. But the tough times of the economy stalled this development and in the early 1900s, the property was sold with development that continued through the 1920s.
Although most homes in the neighborhood were built between the 1910 and 1920s and are in the Revival Period styles of that time which were mainly Colonial and Tudor, there are Victorian homes also from the 1880s, the largest cluster or Lustron metal homes of the city. These homes were constructed in the late 1940s out of pre-fabricated steel to home returning veterans of the World War. They are located along Nicollet Avenue and modernist homes from the 1950s that were constructed along the Minnehaha Creek.

If you ever find yourself by the Minnehaha Parkway and are anywhere near NIcollet or Lyndale you should get lost for a few minutes by driving through the windy street of Tangletown. The homes are stunning, a true architectural delight. There are many options for dining, shopping, entertainment and outdoor activities in a half mile radius. Their is a nice sense of community and convenient access to 35W and the Crosstown.

This beautiful neighborhood is properly named, you can get tangled up in the streets because they don't conform to the regular Minneapolis street grid but it's worth it. The streets are tree lined, the houses are pretty and the yards are well maintained. Tangletown Gardens and Wise Acre Eatery are my favorite Tangletown destinations, if you love to garden you can beat the selection at Tangletown Gardens, and the landscaping at Wise Acre Eatery, done by Tangletown Gardens makes it the prettiest dining destination in Minneapolis. Residents in this neighborhood enjoy great schools and beautiful parks in addition to several other great shops and restaurants. If you enjoy walking, running, biking or hiking you will enjoy the Minnehaha Creek, it runs through the southern part of this neighborhood and connects the neighborhood to the Grand Rounds Scenic Byway and the Lakes.
