The ScoopThe Neighborhood Philosophy

Ericsson is the affordable cousin to Hale and Nokomis. Centered around Lake Hiawatha and the Minnehaha Creek, it offers classic 1930s housing stock, great transit access (light rail), and the burgeoning commercial node at 42nd & 28th.

The Flood Plain

Lake Hiawatha used to be a wetland (Rice Lake) before it was dredged. This history means basements here need extra scrutiny for water intrusion, but the parkland is famously flat.

The Partner Scoop

Homes within 3 blocks of the 46th St Light Rail station carry a 'Transit Premium' but also sell fastest to downtown commuters. It's a high-liquidity zone.

Real Talk Warning

The 38th street corridor is busy. If you are too close, you will hear the bus line all night.
