- Ramblers – Single-level ramblers, also called ranch-style homes, were built in the 1950s-1970s to meet the demand for affordable housing following WWII. Within Minneapolis and St. Paul, and in close-in and first-ring suburbs, tens of thousands of these compact, family-oriented houses have been built. Today, most have been upgraded and remodeled. They often include full finished basements that double the living space. Property listings by Northstar MN MLS members always have plenty of choices. They’re still meeting the needs of today’s growing families for affordability, attractiveness, and solid construction.
- One – 1/2 Story Homes – In the Twin Cities and close-in suburbs, neighborhoods are full of houses built during the first half of the 20th century. From bungalow style to other popular designs, many of these have steep-sloped roofs that provide lots of space above the main floor. Many owners make use of that space through adding bedrooms on the upper level. Dormers and windows bring light into these cozy spaces. You’ll find many of these charming houses, dating from the early 1900s through the 1950s, within city and suburban neighborhoods. Their charm and reasonable pricing makes them popular in the listings by Northstar MN MLS participants. Hardwood floors and woodwork and modern upgrades are common.
- Two-Story Homes – Two-story designs are also plentiful in Minneapolis and St. Paul, and in surrounding communities. From houses built in the early to mid 20th Century to those built in later decades, you’ll find these attractive, often unique homes in many of the tree-lined neighborhoods of the Twin Cities. Spacious and offering beautiful appointments, hardwood floors, and other beautiful touches, they are much in demand by buyers looking for plenty of space with the classic elegance that suits many lifestyles. From stately Queen Anne designs to architect designs of distinction, you will find everything in listings by members of Northstar MLS MN.
- Multi-Story Homes – From the stately mansions of St. Paul’s Summit Hill to classic architect-designed homes in Minneapolis, homes of 3 stories and more are highly sought after. Unique in design and full of luxurious appointments, they provide elegant living for affluent homebuyers. Listings by Northstar MLS MN members in both Minneapolis and St. Paul include fully restored classic multi-story houses.
