Armatage was the first Minneapolis neighborhood to fully embrace the postwar rambler. It still posts the best price per square foot in the 55419 zip code. Chris Deutsch of Lakes Area Realty gives the same two tips: check windows for flight noise, and get to Pizzeria Lola early.
Quiet, Neighborly, Approachable
Armatage is Fulton's younger sibling. You get the same great schools and parks, but the lots are slightly smaller and the prices are more forgiving. It's arguably the best community vibe in the city.
The Post-War Pivot
What is Chris Deutsch's honest take on Armatage?
Armatage is the smartest buy in Southwest right now. You get the Fulton lifestyle—the parks, the creek access, the schools—but for a price that doesn't make you weep. It’s quiet, neighborly, and Pizzeria Lola is basically your cafeteria.
