Product Review

Extensively updated and revised, this 560-page new edition maintains its strong focus on the neighborhoods of the Twin Cities as well as the surrounding suburban communities. Brand new to this edition is a chapter devoted to Green Living, so appropriate for this hub for bicycle commuting and environmental activism. Another innovation is the inclusion of neighborhood and community photographs to give the reader an even better idea of each area's specific character.

From Elk River to River Falls, Wisconsin, from Andover to Apple Valley, and from Lake Minnetonka to White Bear Lake, this Newcomer's Handbook provides you with the most up-to-date information on neighborhoods, housing options and trends, new development, and all the pluses of Twin Cities life, including education and childcare, transportation, cultural life, surviving the weather, and much more.
