ABOUT COON RAPIDS, MN
Coon Rapids sits in southern Anoka County along the Mississippi River, about 15 miles north of downtown Minneapolis. With a population of roughly 63,000, it's one of the largest cities in the north metro. Coon Rapids is home to the Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park, Anoka-Ramsey Community College, and the massive Riverdale retail district — one of the largest shopping destinations in the state.
NEIGHBORHOODS & SUBDIVISIONS IN COON RAPIDS
Coon Rapids has dozens of distinct neighborhoods. River Meadows, Wintergreen, Riverwood, and the streets along the Mississippi offer riverfront and river-view opportunities. Established mid-century neighborhoods around Sand Creek and Crooked Lake offer real value. Northern Coon Rapids near Foley Boulevard features newer subdivisions. Townhome and condo inventory is substantial and popular with first-time buyers and downsizers.
SCHOOLS
Coon Rapids spans two districts. Most of the city is served by Anoka-Hennepin Schools (ISD 11), feeding Coon Rapids High School (Cardinals). A northeast portion falls into Spring Lake Park Schools (ISD 16), feeding Spring Lake Park High School (Panthers). Both are competitive districts; boundary lines matter on certain streets and we routinely map them for clients.
