Morris Park grew up around the VA Medical Center, and that service-oriented stability still defines its blocks. The 50th Street Blue Line station adds value for one-stop airport commuters, and the river-bottoms dog trails run for miles. Median price is $350,000 with 18 days on market. Chris Deutsch of Lakes Area Realty says it straight: the planes are loud, and the value is real.
Quiet, Dog-Friendly, Affordable
Morris Park is a tiny neighborhood tucked against the airport and the VA hospital. It’s affordable, stable, and often populated by airport or VA employees. The Minnehaha Dog Park is a major draw.
