What a 1950s home means for a newcomer
If you are moving from a region with newer housing, a Minnesota rambler from the 1950s may be unfamiliar. Expect a main floor with a full basement below. Ask the age of the roof, furnace, windows, and sewer line. We show you each of these on video and attend the inspection.
Schools and roads
Brooklyn Center Community Schools serves part of the city, and neighboring districts serve other parts, so confirm the district for any address. Highway 100 and Highway 252 run north and south, in addition to the two interstates.
