Phillips continues to grow as a sought-after urban locale just south of Downtown Minneapolis thanks to its developing business scene, engaging community groups, a calendar of local events, and an active, diverse community. Phillips encompasses four smaller neighborhoods: Ventura Village, Phillips West, East Phillips, and Midtown Phillips. South of downtown by just over two miles, Phillips has links to the heart of the city; yet its parks, historic Franklin Avenue, and thriving arts scene will make anyone feel at home.

Phillips hosts both locally owned businesses and some of Minneapolis’ biggest companies, such as Wells Fargo Bank and Abbott Northwestern Hospital. Because of the nearby employers, namely the hospitals and shopping centers along Franklin Avenue and East Lake Street, there’s an incredible variety of rentals. Long-standing apartments and townhomes share the street with eye-catching Victorian homes, some still occupied by single families, others split into rental units.
