New Brighton Vibes

One of the biggest draws to New Brighton is the schools. The Mounds View Public School District that serves New Brighton is rated an A on niche.com and one of, if not the, best districts in the north metro.


In addition to the schools, proximity to both Minneapolis and St. Paul is great for those commuting to work into the cities being only about 15-20 minutes.


Tree-lined streets with trick-or-treatable neighborhoods with affordable homes.


Home Price Statistics A first ring suburb, the homes are well established with most being from the 1950’s through the 1980’s with a few new builds here and there. The median sales price for New Brighton is about $357k, relatively affordable and on par with the metro median prices.



Pros + Cons


Pros:

  • Quaint ‘trick-or-treatable’ neighborhoods

  • Great schools made even sweeter by the affordability of the homes

  • Nice green spaces

  • Very convenient to both downtowns and convenient highway access


Cons:

  • Not many cool/hip restaurants/bars. But what they have is spot on for the suburbs

  • A fair amount of industrial areas within the city, maybe not so picturesque
