EspañolNEIGHBORHOODS OF MINNEAPOLIS
The city of Minneapolis, Minnesota is officially divided into several communities, each containing multiple neighborhoods. For example, the area typically referred to by locals as "North Minneapolis" is actually the Near North community, which is composed of the Hawthorne, Jordan, Near North, and Willard-Hay neighborhoods. [1]
Most of the neighborhoods in Minneapolis coordinate certain activities under the Neighborhood Revitalization Program [2]. In some cases, two to four neighborhoods act together under a single neighborhood organization.
About five different regions can be defined from street directions in the city. Downtown Minneapolis uses south for street names almost exclusively, except for a portion northwest of Hennepin Avenue (which runs southwest-northeast at this point). On the other side of Hennepin is North Minneapolis, which extends north from downtown along the west bank of the Mississippi River (in strict geographic terms, this is the northwest portion of the city). Near downtown, this is often called the Warehouse District.
Northeast Minneapolis and Southeast Minneapolis describe the northern and southern halves of the portion of the East Side of Minneapolis, namely, the portion of the city which lies to the east of the Mississippi River, which was originally the city of St. Anthony. While Hennepin Avenue forms the official boundary between the two neighborhoods, the entire area of the East Side directly opposite Downtown (including the first few blocks to the south of Hennepin) is commonly considered part of Northeast.
South Minneapolis can be considered as basically everything in downtown and south, although common usage is somewhat different. Nicollet Avenue runs straight north-south after it exits downtown, and serves as a dividing line for streets that run east-west. Streets that run north-south in this region are generally named and labeled "Avenue South," and roads that run perpendicular are labeled by the street name followed by "East" or "West" (with some exceptions, most notably Lake Street and Lagoon Avenue, which take the place of 30th Street). Much of the western half is said to be Uptown, and the eastern portion also includes Phillips and Powderhorn.
Minneapolis consists of 11 communities, each of which are subdivided into anywhere between 4 to 13 neighborhoods.

To the southwest of Downtown is Uptown, which is loosely defined as the area around the Uptown Theater near the intersection of Hennepin Avenue and Lake Street, and features a large number of restaurants, bars, and independently owned businesses. A new neighborhood is also being planned for the University of Minnesota region, including the Stadium Village area around the former University Stadium.

Street directions
The Hiawatha Light Rail station at 46th Street and Hiawatha Avenue is one of a series of stations that connect neighborhoods in South Minneapolis.
About five different regions can be defined from street directions in the city. Downtown Minneapolis uses south for street names almost exclusively, except for a portion northwest of Hennepin Avenue (which runs southwest-northeast at this point). On the other side of Hennepin is North Minneapolis, which extends north from downtown along the west bank of the Mississippi River (in strict geographic terms, this is the northwest portion of the city). Near downtown, this is often called the Warehouse District.
Northeast Minneapolis and Southeast Minneapolis describe the northern and southern halves of the portion of the East Side of Minneapolis, namely, the portion of the city which lies to the east of the Mississippi River, which was originally the city of St. Anthony. While Hennepin Avenue forms the official boundary between the two neighborhoods, the entire area of the East Side directly opposite Downtown (including the first few blocks to the south of Hennepin) is commonly considered part of Northeast.
South Minneapolis can be considered as basically everything in downtown and south, although common usage is somewhat different. Nicollet Avenue runs straight north-south after it exits downtown, and serves as a dividing line for streets that run east-west. Streets that run north-south in this region are generally named and labeled "Avenue South," and roads that run perpendicular are labeled by the street name followed by "East" or "West" (with some exceptions, most notably Lake Street and Lagoon Avenue, which take the place of 30th Street).
