About Longfellow
Longfellow is one of Minneapolis's most residentially stable and most community-bonded southeast neighborhoods — the community along Minnehaha Avenue and the Mississippi River gorge whose bungalows, Craftsman homes, and early 20th century residential stock have housed the professional families, educators, healthcare workers, and the progressive community of homeowners whose investment in Longfellow's neighborhood character over decades has produced one of Minneapolis's most active Nextdoor communities. The neighborhood takes its name from the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, whose poem "The Song of Hiawatha" was inspired by Minnehaha Falls — Minneapolis's most beloved natural landmark at the southern end of the neighborhood where Minnehaha Creek plunges 53 feet into the Mississippi River gorge.
Minnesota's road salt season from November through April is your primary vehicle protection opener — the established Longfellow homeowner community has driven through multiple Minnesota winters and has the most direct, multi-season road salt experience of any Minneapolis batch neighborhood. Spring cottonwood and birch pollen from April through May follows the long salt season. Canada geese from Minnehaha Creek and the Mississippi River corridor create above-average bird dropping accumulation on vehicles parked near the park and creek-adjacent blocks. Longfellow's residential driveway access — higher than most urban Minneapolis batch neighborhoods — makes it the most operationally comfortable southeast routing environment in the batch.
