These Are 10 Of MN’s Most Expensive Neighborhoods

MINNESOTA — Several Minneapolis and St. Paul neighborhoods are among the most expensive places to live in Minnesota, according to 2026 rankings from Niche.

Niche’s 2026 cost-of-living rankings compare places using factors that include housing costs, income, taxes, and everyday expenses such as groceries and gas.

Here are 10 Minnesota neighborhoods that landed among the state’s highest-cost places to live, according to Niche:

Macalester-Groveland, St. Paul

King Field, Minneapolis

St. Anthony Park, St. Paul

Downtown East, Minneapolis

East Harriet, Minneapolis

Summit Hill, St. Paul

Bryn Mawr, Minneapolis

North Loop, Minneapolis

Linden Hills, Minneapolis

Fulton, Minneapolis

Lowry Hill, Minneapolis

East Isles, Minneapolis

Lynnhurst, Minneapolis

Edina

The state’s highest-cost neighborhoods are in older, established parts of Minneapolis and St. Paul, often near lakes, parks, restaurants, schools, and major job centers.

The ranking does not mean these neighborhoods have the highest home sale prices in every case. Niche’s cost-of-living ranking looks beyond housing alone and includes broader costs tied to living in an area.

But the list shows how much of Minnesota’s highest-cost housing market remains centered around Minneapolis, St. Paul and the west metro.
