What's it actually like to live in Northeast Minneapolis?

The short answer
Northeast is the part of Minneapolis that still feels built by hand. Old brick storefronts, breweries in former warehouses, art studios where machine shops used to run. Central Avenue and the Arts District anchor it — you can hit a taproom, a Polish bakery, and a gallery on the same block. (It's the neighborhood people fall for without planning to.) Housing runs from 1900s cottages to renovated lofts, so prices swing wide street to street. The tradeoff: some blocks are still rough around the edges, and parking gets tight near the bars on weekends. If you want character over polish, Northeast delivers.
