Minneapolis/North

North Minneapolis is a district of Minneapolis bounded to the east by the Mississippi and I-94, and stretching 5 km west through Victory Memorial Drive. It takes in Camden, Bryn Mawr and Theodore Wirth Park.

Get in
Interstate 94 goes north-south along the eastern edge of the district, and Minnesota State Highway 100 along the western edge. There are many major streets leading into North Minnepolis from these two as well as from downtown.

MetroTransit operates buses in the north-south direction (connecting to downtown) along Thomas Avenue, Penn Avenue, Fremont Avenue and Lyndale Avenue. In the east-west direction there are bus services along Lowry Avenue and 44th Avenue among others.

Get around
North of downtown, the same alphabetic north-south avenue names are used west of Lyndale as South Minneapolis. Here the east-west numbered cross streets are also called avenues, however, and ascend numerically as you go north from downtown. Intersections in North Minneapolis are thus of the form N 42nd Ave & N Penn Ave. A few numbered streets from downtown also extend northward into North Minneapolis between Lyndale Ave and the Mississippi River.

Sleep
There are no lodging options to speak of in North Minneapolis. Your best bet is to stay Downtown.
