School planning

Which schools serve a Minneapolis address?

  • Minneapolis Public School Districtabout 100% of the city

Ask the district for the school assignment of the exact address for the year you'll enroll, since boundaries can change. Being near a school doesn't guarantee a spot, and charter and private schools set their own rules.

Crime data

How can you check reported crime near a home?

Ask the police department that serves the address for its current reports, and compare places only across the same time period and offense definitions. Missing data doesn't mean zero crime, and a citywide number doesn't describe a particular street.

★★★★★

Jason Oliver of Keller Williams was an amazing help to me in searching for a home. I was moving from Denver to Minneapolis and flew up a weekend in the summer and didn’t find the one in my price range. Another property “popped” up in my online search after I returned home and Jason was such a great sport, he facetime me TWICE (on separate days) and walked me through the house room by room, closet to closet and I was able to get a very accurate picture and purchased the house. He was attentive, responsive and communicated well. He was never pushy for the sale and appeared to always have my best interested. Great experience, I would recommend him to my family and friends.

★★★★★

AJ DeBellis was an excellent realtor from start to finish on our home search in Minneapolis. Excellent communicator, knowledgable, strong advocator for buyers in a seller's market, detail oriented-- an all around great job on his part. He and his team helped us make a competitive offer and land our ideal home quickly. Highly recommended! As a bonus, for the DnD players out there, AJ will talk shop with you in tabletop terms. A worthy fellow to have in your party!

We worked with Jason Oliver, who was very pleasant to work with, as we looked for a condo for our son in Minneapolis. He was informative, patient, and good to talk with. We will certainly look him up again if we ever need to look for something for us!
