Humboldt Greenway is a partnership between Hennepin County and the City ofMinneapolis to construct a new greenway and housing along Humboldt Avenue North in the Shingle Creek and Lind-Bohanon neighborhoods.

Construction of phase I of the greenway project is complete and includes a new senior apartment complex, 58 single-family homes and 36 town homes. Phase I of the project is completely developed and sold out. Phase II has been developed and will include an additional 65 single-family homes, 24 town homes and 19 row homes.  Single family and townhome models are available for viewing for new construction in the second phase.

Single-family exteriors include the use of brick, stone, stucco and low-maintenance siding, complemented by traditional window and trim details. All homes include double-car garages, sodded yards with fencing and trees, shrubs and flowers. Interiors feature sunny eat-in kitchens with great rooms, master bedroom suites with baths, large closets, energy-efficient construction, basements and many optional finishes.

A ten-foot wide, mixed-use trail on the north side of 49th Avenue serves as a main entrance to the North Mississippi Regional Park and the Interpretive Center.
