I have lived in and around Uptown for several years. It is such a great area of the city. Good access to the lakes, great food options, and unbeatable access to the bike infrastructure. I was hoping to go the same route house hacking when we bought 4 years ago, but ended up in a perfect SFH for our needs. If you can get your hands on a multi family in Uptown at the price you want to pay, go for it. They don't last long on the market. As far as the police issue goes, Minneapolis residents are very progressive, and there may be some changes. But they are also very educated and proud of the neighborhoods and hold each other to a high standard. This is a good test for the Minneapolis, and in the short term, the values may dip. But the demand for the amenities and convenience of the city will continue trending upward.
