25th Minneapolis & Saint Paul Home Tour set for April 28-29, 2012
While plans are underway for the 2012 Minneapolis & Saint Paul Home Tour, you can click on “homes” in the banner above to see the 55 homes that were on the Minneapolis & Saint Paul Home Tour in 2011.
On the Minneapolis & Saint Paul Home Tour of “real homes, real people, real ideas,” residents open their doors to show creative and practical ideas for home additions, kitchens, bathrooms and more. Visitors talked directly with homeowners to find out what it’s like to remodel, expand, or build new. At many homes, their contractors, architects, and other trades people were also on hand to answer questions.
Statistics for 2011 showed 3,661 visitors with 7.4 visits apiece, with many visiting 20 or more homes apiece. One group of visitors logged the maximum: 34 homes visited, and a handful of individuals logged 25-30 apiece. The total home visits: roughly 27,000.
Here’s how the Tour works
Homes on the free, self-guided tour are open on the last weekend in April, regardless of weather conditions. 2012 dates are Saturday, April 28, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday, April 29, 1-5 p.m.
The Minneapolis & St. Paul Home encourages people to stay in the neighborhoods they love, and to maintain and improve the cities’ housing stock. For information, call 612-867-4874.
