About Brooklyn Park, Minnesota

Brooklyn Park is located a short distance northwest of Minneapolis and is easily accessible via multiple highways. Although Brooklyn Park is only a brief 10-mile commute to Minneapolis and the Twin Cities metro area, the city has long been known as a family-focused bedroom community. Almost 30% of Brooklyn Park residents are under the age of 18 and there are three separate school districts and several private schools to accommodate this large student population.*

In more recent years, Brooklyn Park’s bedroom community reputation appears to be evolving as it witnesses significant residential and commercial growth. One of the more notable major future additions to Brooklyn Park’s business community is the development of Target Corporation’s new, multi-million dollar corporate campus within the city. This corporate campus is expected to bring thousands of new employees to the area and significantly increase the city’s commercial property value.
