Read the transcript
In Tangletown, the curving streets and the historic Washburn Water Tower feel like a storybook pocket of the city. But those curves follow the hills, and hills mean vertical living.

Check the natural light, the stairs, and the layout. I'm Chris Deutsch with Lakes Area Realty. Let's make sure the routine works as well as the architecture.
Named because the streets literally tangle. It's hilly, winding, and full of unique architecture that breaks the mold of the standard Minneapolis box.
