The Cleveland neighborhood is one of those quiet residential areas that people don’t always know about, but when we’re working there, you can tell it’s a place where families put down roots. Most of our foundation jobs here are on solid 1920s-1950s homes where people have lived for years and want to keep their houses in good shape. It’s got that comfortable neighborhood feel where kids ride bikes in the street and neighbors actually know each other.

✨ What Makes Cleveland Special

The terrain is gently rolling with mature trees lining most of the streets.

The folks here are mostly families and longtime residents who take pride in their homes and neighborhood.

It’s close enough to downtown Minneapolis that you can get there easily, but far enough out that you get that suburban neighborhood feel.

Community Feel

Convenience

From job sites, you can see how well-established the neighborhood is – good landscaping, well-maintained yards. The soil here is mostly clay, which is pretty stable for foundation work once you understand how it behaves.

You’ll notice kids playing outside and people walking their dogs – it’s got that safe, family-friendly vibe. People tend to stay here for years and really invest in maintaining their properties.

The location works because you’re not dealing with city noise and traffic, but you’re still connected to everything you need.
