Good neighborhood with decent dining and entertainment options. There are not a lot of good outdoor exe cerise opportunities but it is close to the light rail and biking paths.

The crime In South Minneapolis isn't that deep to be honest. But the racial profiling in Minneapolis is awful. I have been pulled over/ pulled up on by police like 6 times this summer.
