  • Becketwood Neighborhood Letter Layout 1
    Welcome to Our Neighborhood WELCOME TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD This guide is intended to help orient you to the services and resources available in the community surrounding Becketwood. We hope it will be particularly helpful for those of you who might not be familiar with our part of South Minneapolis. 1 THE LONGFELLOW COMMUNITY: YESTERDAY AND TODAY Community Overview Becketwood is situated at the eastern edge of Minneapolis’s Longfellow Community, a corner of the city bounded by Minnehaha Park on the South, the Mississippi River on the East, the Midtown Greenway on the North and Hiawatha Avenue on the West. The community is named for the 19th century American poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, who located his “Song of Hiawatha” at the waterfalls in Minnehaha Park. Much of Longfellow was developed during the teens and twenties of the last century. Today the area still has a large stock of modest but well-built story and half bungalows from that era. Street signs marking Longfellow’s boundaries identify the area as a “traditional bungalow community.” Initially, Longfellow was a working class district with a heavily Scandinavian cast. Today, the community is home to young families from diverse backgrounds who are attracted to the area’s natural amenities, its convenient inner-city location and its affordable Craftsman- style housing stock. The western edge of Longfellow is primarily industrial, with a string of flour mills lining the railroad tracks just to the east of Hiawatha Avenue. The Light Rail Transit line (LRT) to the west of Hiawatha is changing the character of that corridor as new high density residential developments are built adjacent to the LRT stations.
