Robbinsdale is a small town with a storied history that’s determined to honor the character of its past.

Located at the northwest corner of Minneapolis, this little community boasts a population of approximately 14,000 people, with just over 6,000 households and 33,375 families. It’s the perfect place if you picture yourself making a home in a quintessential small town.

When you arrive in Robbinsdale, you’ll notice a quaint feel that is fostered by a rich early history, centered around farmland and railroads.

In 1891 Robbinsdale had its own streetcar line implemented from the Minneapolis city limits to Robbinsdale Park. Coaches were pulled by teams of horses until electricity was brought to the line.

So why choose Robbinsdale MN real estate? Today’s residents are attracted because of its close-in location and abundant amenities, its low crime rate, its excellent school system and high graduation rate, and its stable housing market.

A snapshot of the real estate market tells you that in Robbinsdale, the median home value of $182,000 is 6.2% lower than the rest of Minnesota, although median rent charged is 13.7% higher than the rest of Minnesota. And, residences are 71% owner-occupied.

As in most small Minnesota towns, you’ll find that local celebrations and community pride are evident.

This is evident in the case of Wilfred Hamilton Fawcett, a hometown boy who began publishing the enormously successful "Capt. Billy's Whiz Bang" in 1919. Later, magazines published by Fawcett included McCall's, Family Circle, Woman's Day and Mechanix Illustrated.

Today, Robbinsdale celebrates its literary and business heritage with Whiz Bang days in the community every July. It's a "bang up" event that you will eagerly anticipate, whether you are a resident or just visiting.
