Minneapolis is constantly rated as one of the best metropolitan areas in the United States to live in. Buy why? What makes Minneapolis so desirable to potential residents? I'm here to share my opinion, feel free to weigh in/add/comment!
1) The Schools
Among metropolitan areas, Minneapolis is one of the most educated. Minneapolis and St. Paul are home to a number of world renowned institutions, including the University of Minnesota, St. Thomas, Hamline University, and a number of private high schools and colleges.
2) The Jobs
Minneapolis and St. Paul are home to a number of Fortune 500 companies, including Best Buy, Target, General Mills, 3M, etc... Due to the highly educated workforce, companies view Minneapolis and St. Paul as great places to headquarter a company. The Twin Cities also have a thriving small business community (including the one I work for!)
3) The Things to Do
There is always something to do here. Whether its the State Fair, the Renaissance Festival, Valley Fair, numerous farmers markets, the Walker Art Center, the Winter Carnival, etc... there are plenty of opportunities to get out and have fun.

A Blog is Born
Hello and welcome to "Buy and Sell Minneapolis," a real estate-driven blog about all things Minneapolis (and the surrounding cities). Topics here will be diverse, ranging from housing information on individual communities/neighborhoods, to important community events, to fun things to do on a weekend in the city.
The goal is to create an informative and entertaining blog that adds value to our city and our communities. I want this blog to be a positive source of information that people can come to rely on. I also want this blog to have an open feel. I want readers to feel welcome and I want them to share their thoughts on what is going on in Minneapolis.
And thus, this blog begins. I hope you continue to check back and always feel free to contact me with comments, suggestions, ideas, etc... Below is a quick introduction:
My name is Josh Pelto. I am a local REALTOR and a resident of Minneapolis. I work for Realty House, a small real estate company located in Edina. I was raised in Champlin, just 20 minutes northwest of Minneapolis. I recently graduated from the University of Minnesota with majors in Entrepreneurship and Marketing. My objective is simple: to help people reach their real estate dreams. For some, their dream is to rent and not worry about the costs of homeownership. For others, their dream is to own a home near Lake Calhoun. My job is to connect the dots and provide people with the knowledge and experience they need to reach these wide-ranging goals.
