Our Take
55406 is a lively downtown Minneapolis ZIP that offers great transit, cultural amenities, and strong schools, but comes with a high cost of living and urban noise. If you enjoy city life and can handle higher prices, it’s a solid choice. If you prefer a quieter, more affordable neighborhood, you might want to look elsewhere.
