Is it safe to move to Uptown Minneapolis right now?

The short answer
For safety questions, I'd point you to the Minneapolis Police Department's public reports and dashboards — that's data you should get straight from the source, not from a realtor. What I can speak to is the real estate: residential Uptown (The Wedge, East Isles) stays in steady demand, and the lake access and walkability rival properties at double the price in Edina. My standing advice for any neighborhood: tour it at 8 PM, not just 11 AM, and let your own eyes make the call.
