The Jordan neighborhood is bordered by businesses ranging from coffee shops and a hardware store to two major grocery stores leaving the interior of the neighborhood mostly residential and very peaceful. There are many housing styles to choose from in Jordan: painted lady Victorians and Arts and Crafts bungalows to newer construction with the latest eco-friendly features. Jordan's location is superb: just minutes from the amenities and employment of downtown Minneapolis and adjacent to the exceptional Theodore Wirth Park and Golf Course. Jordan supports the arts and is home to Juxtaposition Arts a creator of city wide murals, mosaics and street art.
