Bloomington MN is truly a city of hospitality, due to the abundance of superior lodging facilities, great hotels, lovely parks, fine dining, and plenty of attractions. The freeway/road system allows easy access to Bloomington from anywhere in the Minneapolis metropolitan area. Bloomington is conveniently located at the intersection of Interstates 494 and 35W, and is just minutes from Minneapolis downtown, St. Paul downtown, and the Minneapolis/St. Paul international airport. This city is home to the largest shopping center in the nation, and the number one tourist attraction for the state. Bloomington is also a local mecca for arts and culture. Bloomington has an art center, a chorale, a civic theater, a fine arts council, and an 88 piece symphony orchestra. Fine dining includes Da Afghan, serving Afghan food and dishes influenced by China, Greece, and India. Tandoor serves authentic Indian food, and the Sawatdee serves authentic Thai dishes.

And don’t forget about the Mall of America, the shopping mall of the world, featuring over 400 stores, restaurants, an amusement park, an amazing aquarium, ACES flight simulator, NASCAR Silicon Motor Speedway, LEGO land, family entertainment, and more. The complex receives about 40 million visitors a year.

Townhomes in Bloomington Minnesota

Purchase a unit in this metropolitan megasuburb and you will be within shouting distance of Mall of America, the MSP airport, and major routes, including Hwy 100, 35 W, Hwy 77, and 494. Because Bloomingtn is “landlocked” there is not very much new construction, but there are plenty of townhomes and condos that are only a few years old. The Rottlund homes in Highland off of Old Shakopee Road were built in the 90’s, and include vaults, one or two stall garages, fireplaces, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and nicely kept common elements, including trees and landscaping. Just north of the Dred Scott playfields, there are plenty of quad homes with fireplaces, walkout basements, decks, and double garages. All of these are a great way to get started with Bloomington MN real estate ownership. Bloom Hill townhomes on the north side of Dwan Golf Course were just built in 2004. These are truly luxurious walkout rambler style units with arboretum style landscaping and rain gardens! The Terrace Village community is located near Central Park and the banks of Nine Mile Creek. Bloomington Ferry Townhomes on the north bluffs of the Minnesota River offer, quiet, carefree living at its best! Bluff Place Homes on the south end of Normandale Blvd are also close to the river, and offer a serene and beautiful location as well. And the little balcony off the 20×14 master bedroom suite is a real kick!
