Come Home to Camden is a website about opportunity! It is an interactive storyboard about some of the neighborhoods in north Minneapolis and what you can expect if you choose to call one of them home! You may be looking for your first home or a return to city living - the neighborhoods of Camden offer a variety of houses from which to choose, and all of them are affordable.
Camden is a Community - one of eleven communities in Minneapolis. It fills the farthest northwest corner of Minneapolis with seven neighborhoods bordered by Lowry Avenue on the south, the city limits on the north and west, and the Mighty Mississippi River on the east.
This website is about three of those neighborhoods, Folwell, McKinley and Webber-Camden which like all of the Camden neighborhoods are predominantly residential with distinct characteristics and amenities. Bisecting east-west corridors are gateways to northeast Minneapolis and the western suburbs. Downtown Minneapolis is a fast ten minutes from anywhere in Camden via I94.
Come Home to Camden is also a collection of programs, community events and community revitalization initiatives underwritten by two of Camden’s neighborhoods, Folwell and Webber-Camden that benefit today’s residents and those who will come to call Camden home in the future.
About this Website
Houses for sale are posted on the Dwellings page. The properties on the site are offered by licensed realtors or for sale by owner. There are no assurances or guarantees associated with any listing, there is no fee charged and there is no financial benefit to the neighborhood organizations from any listing or property that is sold.
Like other neighborhoods Folwell, McKinley and Webber-Camden have a higher than average number of homes currently on the market, some as a result of the current foreclosure crisis, and others because of the usual life changes that cause people to relocate.
The three Come Home to Camden neighborhoods have a focus on owner occupancy and, as a result, are providing $4000 fully forgivable incentives to the first 40 new home owners in each of the three neighborhoods. The neighborhoods have committed a total of $240,000 of Neighborhood Revitalization Program dollars that have been matched by the Family Housing Fund. For more details about this incentive go to Resources; Greater Minneapolis Housing Corporation.
In Resources we provide a variety of programs and services related to home-ownership, including mortgage assistance and home ownership incentives. Look for the fun stuff – like gardening connections and information about going green since these are neighborhoods that take pride in yards and gardens! And, you will find suggestions about home maintenance, remodeling and renovations.
Events - are just that! From Bunny Breakfast to Ice Cream Socials, winter skating in the Park to Antiques in the Park, art shows to Dog Daze, information about and a schedule of events in the neighborhoods and in the City – that appeal to folks who choose local,fun and family activities as part of their residential experience.
