Fulton Minneapolis
Southwest Minneapolis’s Premier Family Neighborhood
Tree-canopied streets, beloved local institutions, top-ranked schools, and the 50th & France shopping district at your doorstep — Fulton is the neighborhood Southwest Minneapolis families choose and never leave.
Southwest Minneapolis
at Its Finest
Fulton is the quintessential Southwest Minneapolis family neighborhood — a mature, leafy enclave where broad tree-canopied streets meet a walkable village core and one of the city’s finest school districts. Anchored by the 50th & France commercial district (shared with Edina), Fulton residents enjoy boutique shopping, acclaimed restaurants, and coffee shops that feel like neighborhood institutions within a short walk of almost every home.
The neighborhood draws its character from deep community investment. Fulton’s resident base tends toward long-term homeowners — families who buy here when their children are young and stay well into retirement. Block parties, neighborhood garden tours, and the annual Fulton Neighborhood Festival reflect a community that genuinely knows and looks out for itself.
Architecturally, Fulton is a showcase of early 20th century residential design: Tudor Revivals, Colonial homes, Craftsman bungalows, and Dutch Colonials sit on deep, mature lots. The housing stock rewards careful buyers who recognize that these homes — with their original woodwork, plaster walls, and generous proportions — cannot be replicated at any price in new construction.

Buyer Intelligence
Exceptionally Safe —
Year After Year
Fulton consistently ranks in the top 3 safest Minneapolis neighborhoods, with crime rates that reflect its high owner-occupancy and long-term community investment.
✅ Violent Crime — Exceptionally Low
Fulton reports violent crime rates approximately 68% below the Minneapolis city average — comparable to affluent suburban communities. Long-term residents and high homeownership rates create an inherently safe environment.
✅ Property Crime — Well Below Average
Property crime is 45% below the city average. The neighborhood’s layout — primarily residential with minimal through-traffic — limits opportunistic crime. Vehicle break-ins are the most common reported incidents.
✅ School Zone Safety — Excellent
The areas around Blake School and Southwest High are actively monitored during school hours. The neighborhood’s commitment to pedestrian safety near schools is a consistent community priority.
◇ Perimeter Note
Blocks adjacent to France Ave and 50th Street commercial activity see slightly elevated property crime versus the quiet residential interior. Verify specific addresses when evaluating proximity to commercial corridors.
