New Hope is a 5.1-square-mile inner-ring Hennepin County city of about 21,100 residents northwest of Minneapolis, between Crystal and Plymouth. The housing inventory is heavily 1955-1975 ramblers, split-entries, and 1.5-story Capes on quarter-acre lots, with a smaller pocket of 1990s-2010s townhome and infill development.

New Hope inspections surface a predictable mix of era-typical findings -- and we know the housing stock cold. Every inspection includes thermal imaging, a digital report in 24 hours, and a 15-minute phone walkthrough so you walk into negotiations knowing exactly what's a deal-breaker and what's a Saturday-afternoon fix.

New Hope inspections routinely surface era-typical findings: Federal Pacific panels in pre-1975 stock, aluminum branch wiring, original cast iron drain stacks corroding internally, polybutylene supply lines on a subset of 1980s walkouts, single-pane wood windows past lifespan, asbestos siding and floor tile, and ice dam damage from shallow soffit overhangs. Schools are Robbinsdale Area Schools ISD 281 — large and well-rated. Northwood Park, the Civic Center, and the New Hope Performance Center anchor the city. Drive time from Blaine: 25 minutes. New Hope is a strong mid-tier buyer market with solid inspection demand.
