Well, it didn't work out. Thanks to everyone who responded and offered advice and recommendations. I really, really appreciate it. Regina/Northrop sounds like a great place to live! The search for our new home continues.

My wife and I are about to put an offer on a condo in the Regina-Northrop area of Minneapolis. However, we are not that familiar with the neighborhood. Is there anyone out there that lives in that area and can tell me what the vibe is? Would you recommend? It seems pretty good. Let me know!

Great advice. Thank you. We will definitely look into all of this.

Thanks for your input. Yes, I’m getting the feeling it isn’t as walkable as I would like, but still probably better than where I’m coming from.

Thank you! I will definitely look into to all of this. We have 10 days to review all their documentation and ask questions, and we can back out if necessary. We will review everything very carefully.

Huh. I'm not actually sure. How would I look that up? I know they have to share documentation with us once they accept the offer, but I don't think that includes resident reviews.

‼️ Intriguing!

Got it. That is a very worthwhile dream. I'm guessing the Lund's parking lot is somewhat of a disaster too.

Say more about groceries being an issue. What makes that an issue for you?

OK, that makes me feel even better. I'll have to check out the Park Avenue bike lane. I didn't notice it last night.

Cool. This is great. I was also thinking I could just try to bike to the Greenway and from there it would be smooth sailing. Sounds like that is a typical move. I would also make heavy use of the D Line. Very nice.

Oh, this is very helpful. Thanks. I would live very close to all that. Do you feel like it is very car centric? Is it reasonably safe to bike around? Do you feel connected or disconnected from the city center? Maybe that doesn't matter ...

Thanks! What do you think of the area? Does it have some good local businesses? Do you think it is safe to bike (I'd like to keep biking to my job at the U)? Do you feel like you are connected or disconnected from the city center?
