Richfield Homes MLS Listings MN Located just south of Minneapolis, and near Minneapolis St. Paul airport and the busy I-494 business community, Richfield is an important commuter community serving the Minneapolis area and beyond. From its origins as a farming community, the post-WWII building boom provided explosive growth in the 1950s and 1960s to serve the housing needs of workers in the Minneapolis St. Paul metro area. The close-in location of Richfield, access to highways, and affordable housing has maintained the city as a prime commuting location for its 35,000+ residents.
With the usual complement of suburban parks and other amenities, Richfield is a community of homes mainly built in that boom. Its schools have rather modest ratings, but provide a good education for motivated students. In more recent years, condominium developments have added to the available housing. Employment opportunities are many, and close at hand. The Mall of America and MSP airport are close, and the hospitality industry along the I-494 strip also provides employment for many Richfield residents, as does the corporate headquarters of Best Buy, which is located in Richfield. Commuting to other parts of the Twin Cities metro area is easy, with access to major freeways on the north and south borders of Richfield. Shopping of all kinds is close at hand, and access to arts, entertainment, and sports venues is easy.
Home buyers seeking residential properties in Richfield have a large number of options available. From large condominium developments and single-family homes in a wide price range, home seekers can find almost any type of home. Below $100,000, older single-family homes and condominiums in a newer high-rise senior-living property make up most of the Richfield MLS listings in this range. Some foreclosure bargains are available, and some properties are under $50,000. In the $100-200,000 price range, units in high-rise condominium developments combine with many rambler-style homes built in the 50s and 60s to make up almost half of all Richfield MLS listings. Some foreclosed properties in this range may present excellent opportunities, as well. From $200-300,000, larger, well-maintained single-family homes, built in the post-WWII boom, in quiet tree-lined neighborhoods make up most of the listings. Few listings priced higher than $300,000 are available, but include spacious homes, higher-end condominiums, and commercial properties.
