Tangletown ignores the Minneapolis grid entirely — its winding streets were laid out to mimic English countryside hills. Original homes here regularly sell around 10% above appraisal because nothing else compares. Chris Deutsch of Lakes Area Realty preps appraisal-gap conversations early, and warns that pizza delivery requires turn-by-turn directions.
Hilly, Historic, Scenic
Named because the streets literally tangle. It's hilly, winding, and full of unique architecture that breaks the mold of the standard Minneapolis box.
The Hilly Maze
What is Chris Deutsch's honest take on Tangletown?
Tangletown is for the romantics. The hills, the creek, the confusing streets—it's magical. The homes are unique and built before 'open concept' was a thing. If you want character over convenience, this is your hill to die on (literally, the hills are steep).
