BLOOMINGTON
Though Bloomington, Minnesota is a suburb of the Twin Cities, it is the fifth largest city in the state of Minnesota, and the largest suburb in the greater Metro area. It is certainly one of the most prosperous areas in terms of business, and its residents take great pride in its separate identity from Minneapolis and St. Paul, while retaining a superb location to all of the amenities of the Twin Cities. Residents of Bloomington love its blend of the urban and suburban, and Bloomington real estate is of high interest to many people looking to purchase a home.
Of course, the most notable attraction of Bloomington is the world-famous Mall of America. With approximately 4.2 million square feet, the Mall of America (or MOA) is the largest shopping center in the entire country, and one of the largest tourist attractions in the state of Minnesota. It boasts nearly forty million visitors per year, and employs over 12,000 workers, making Bloomington a significant economic power, as well as a wonderful recreational feature of the city. With shopping, dining, and a full amusement park, the Mall of America is an extremely popular place for residents of Bloomington to spend a weekend afternoon.
While the MOA offers a busy indoor recreational atmosphere, Bloomington offers some of the most striking parks and natural resources in the state. Over one third of the city’s area is devoted to parks, allowing numerous opportunities to spend time with your family outside. Several lakes have coasts along Bloomington, and many more state and regional parks are available for hiking, fishing, or having a barbecue. Bloomington also hosts a popular aquatic center with an indoor pool, diving boards, and water slides; so those people who enjoy being able to stay active will never be at a loss for things to do.
Because of its wonderful location to Minneapolis, Bloomington real estate is extremely popular for those looking to stay close to the city, while it retains the strong sense that suburb life offers. Many younger, post-collegiate buyers choose Bloomington, as well as many families. The real estate market itself is red-hot right now, with many wonderful single-family homes, townhouses, and condominiums available at affordable prices. For those looking for more space, there are a number of stunning multi-story homes available near the lakes and in some of the most affluent and desirable neighborhoods in the cities. If you work in Minneapolis, Bloomington is an easy fifteen minute drive away. Regardless of your needs, Bloomington offers a wide variety of options that can suit any needs.
