A city built over decades

Brooklyn Park was settled in 1852, became a village in 1954, and became a city in 1969. It has grown steadily ever since, and that is why the homes vary so much from one part of the city to another.

Single-family homes of many ages, from mid-century houses to recent construction.
Townhomes and condominiums, often a good first step into ownership. We review the association's dues and rules before you offer.
Newer development along the Highway 610 corridor, near the Target Northern Campus.

If this is your first purchase, our first-time buyer page walks through the costs, credit, and down payment help.

Parks, the river, and golf

Mississippi Gateway Regional Park. A riverside park, formerly called Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park, with a walkway across the dam.
Rush Creek Regional Trail. A 9.6-mile paved trail from the river in Brooklyn Park to Elm Creek Park Reserve in Maple Grove.
Edinburgh USA. A city-owned, 18-hole public golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr.
Historic Eidem Farm. A restored farmstead that shows what life here was like around 1900.

North Hennepin Community College and Hennepin Technical College are both in the city.
