Welcome To New Hope, MN
If you are looking for a family-friendly, quiet suburb with a quick commute to downtown Minneapolis, the City of New Hope is the perfect fit for you. With an estimated population of 21,000 residents, New Hope provides a urban feel with small town energy.
Boundaries
New Hope is located north west of downtown Minneapolis, and borders a handful of other Minnesotan suburbs, including: Crystal & Robbinsdale to the east, Brooklyn Park to the north, Plymouth & Maple Grove to the west, and Golden Valley to the south.
The city is tucked between Highway 55 & 100, Interstates 94 & 395 with easy access to the rest of the Twin Cities.
