Garfield Gables Condos

GARFIELD GABLES 2610 Garfield Avenue South, Minneapolis Constructed as a walkup in 1973, its brick-and-shingle exterior is expressed in the often-woodsy materials palette of the 1970s—a decade from now, this building will be understood as a period expression, almost desirably historic. Living units are quite small, at just over 600 square feet in floor area, but unit prices are correspondingly very low. The location is reasonably convenient to the lakes, Uptown, Downtown, the Art Institute, Eat Street along Nicollet Avenue, and Walker Art Center.
