Characterized by single-family homes and low-rise multi-family rentals along tree-lined streets, the Central neighborhood of Minneapolis lies about three miles due south of the city center. Bordered on the west by I-35, the Central area provides its residents with a convenient location and easy access to the amenities of the greater Minneapolis-St. Paul region.
Stroll well-kept sidewalks or the walking paths at Powderhorn Park, a 66-acre spread providing picnic facilities, an ice skating rink, a fishing pier, and athletic fields. For a change of pace, visit Central Gym Park on the neighborhood's south side to play tennis or shoot hoops indoors. Then drop into the highly popular Café South Side for a soup and sandwich, a fresh-baked pastry, or a cup of coffee brewed from organic beans.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
