Fridley Homes for Sale

Fridley

Fridley is without a doubt one of the very best place to buy a house or home and live in all of Minnesota. Nestled ideally on the east banks of the Mississippi River, home to a number of lakes, with more parks per square mile than almost any other suburb, with outstanding schools, with tons of things going on in the city from festivals and parades to farmers markets, and with its own shopping mall, hundreds of restaurants and shops, and tons to do, it’s hard to beat Fridley. Only a few miles from downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul, buying a house or home in Fridley means a bright future for you and your family.

One of the main reasons buying a home in Fridley is always a smart choice is its location. As a real estate agency, we at Buy Sell Lease Real Estate know that the maxim “location, location, location” rings true, and we also know that it’s hard to beat property right alongside the Mississippi River. But if riverside property weren’t enough to attract homebuyers, Fridley is also home to a large host of lakes, making it’s total city area almost 10% water. Whether you want to buy the lake home or lake house of your dreams or have a beautiful vista of the river from your home’s windows, Fridley give you the opportunity.

But there’s more to Fridley’s beauty than just the water. Fridley is home to 38 parks, almost as much as city’s five times its size. So even if you don’t buy that dream lake home or riverfront property, you’ll always be able to enjoy Fridley’s lakes with a quick trip to one of Fridley’s beaches. And besides the beaches, you can enjoy any of the nearby tennis courts, basketball courts, baseball fields, playgrounds, trails, skating rinks, and much more, all within walking distance of any Fridley home. That is the advantage of buying a home in a city with four parks per square mile.

And if the parks don’t give you enough reason to celebrate, the city’s events will. From Halloween hayrides to winter festivals, to live music and parades to fireworks displays, the City of Fridley is always planning fun community events to bring neighbors together. Those who buy a house in Fridley can be reassured by the fact that Fridley’s community events will allow homebuyers to quickly meet their neighbors, make friends, and feel truly at home at your new home.

And all those reasons don’t even start to cover Fridley’s economy. The city is home to Fortune 500 company Medtronic, as well as a number of other major employers: Unity Medical Center, Park Construction Company, BAE Systems, Cummins, Inc., Minco Products, Inc., and the Kurt Manufacturing company all call Fridley home. And that doesn’t even get into all the jobs available in Minneapolis, which shares its border with Fridley, making thousands and thousands of jobs just a quick trip away from any Fridley home.

If all those reasons haven’t yet convinced you to buy a home in Fridley, Fridley’s school system will. With a public school system that statistics have proven to outperform other schools and a wide variety and wealth of outstanding private schools in the area, residents of Fridley can take pride and comfort in their children’s excellent educations.
