Tangletown

Welcome to Tangletown

Located in Southwest Minneapolis, Tangletown stretches from West 46th Street to Diamond Lake Road, between Lyndale Avenue South and Interstate 35W. Unlike the traditional Minneapolis street grid, Tangletown is distinguished by its winding roads, rolling terrain, mature trees, and proximity to Minnehaha Creek.

Much of the neighborhood's housing dates to the early twentieth century, with Craftsman bungalows, American Foursquares, Tudor Revival homes, and Colonial Revival residences lining its distinctive streets. Tangletown also includes a small collection of mid-century Lustron steel homes along Nicollet Avenue, adding another dimension to its architectural history.

Living in Tangletown

Minnehaha Creek winds through the southern portion of Tangletown, connecting residents to scenic parkways, walking and biking trails, and the broader Minneapolis park system. One of the neighborhood's most recognizable landmarks is the historic Washburn Park Water Tower, a 110-foot structure completed in 1932 and known for its distinctive stone-like concrete sculptures of knights and eagles.

Tangletown also offers convenient access to neighborhood restaurants, shops, and gathering places along Nicollet and Lyndale Avenues. Local destinations such as Tangletown Gardens, Wise Acre Eatery, and George and the Dragon contribute to the area's independent business character.

With its unusual street layout, architectural variety, and access to Minnehaha Creek, Tangletown offers a residential setting unlike many other Minneapolis neighborhoods.
