This place is very updated and modern inside. The neighborhood was a little scary at first, but I think it is an up and coming area. We walked to Mary Ellen's for breakfast one day and it was very good. The house was about a 20 minute drive to Mall of America and about 10 minutes to Target Field where we went to see a Twins game. While the home is updated, the walls were scratched all along the main wall you see when you walk in and the basement had no door which could be a safety hazard with kids (and a little scary since we weren't familiar with the area). The teenagers loved that they could play music while they showered. Being able to use the laundry was a great bonus!
