9700 Portland Ave S

A low- to mid-rise condominium complex built in 1978, composed of walk-up and elevator-served stacks with two- and three-bedroom residences. The exterior combines traditional materials—brick veneer and stone—with metal, wood, vinyl and steel siding, set within extensively landscaped grounds with ponds and walking paths. Units feature a mix of floor plans, many with vaulted ceilings, screened or three-season porches/balconies, plentiful closets and in-unit laundry; finishes vary widely as owners have completed kitchen and bath renovations. Shared indoor spaces and services emphasize leisure and convenience: a community/party room, guest suite, car-wash bay, and heated underground garage with assigned storage and additional storage rooms. Recreation facilities are comprehensive for a suburban condominium, including both indoor and outdoor pools, a hot tub, sauna, tennis and pickle-ball courts, outdoor patios with grills, and organized green space for walking and pond views. The association covers most exterior maintenance and many utilities, producing a low-maintenance ownership model; a strict no-pets policy has been enforced in some listings. Located in Minneapolis with quick highway access, the development suits residents who want suburban-scale landscaping and water features while remaining minutes from regional trails, shopping, and the airport.
