Twin Cities Hidden Gems
Our Team specializes and is dedicated to serving home buyers and sellers in the Twin Cities and throughout the 13 counties and outer Metro areas. And as real estate advocates in the Twin Cities, we would like to highlight all of those popular destinations in both St. Paul and Minneapolis. We will also feature local events and businesses on this page.
Our First Stop:
Bassett Creek
Bassett Creek is a neighborhood within the city of Crystal, Minnesota. It borders the city of Minneapolis to the south and east. Bassett Creek is bordered by Crystal neighborhoods Lee Park to the east, Valley Place to the west, and Fair to the north. The neighborhood is the location for Bassett Creek Park, the largest park in Crystal. The park has a 3,700 sq. ft. playground, a baseball field, softball field, hockey rink, four volleyball courts, three tennis courts, 12 holes of disc golf and 1.06 miles of asphalt trails. A neighborhood association has been formed to assist in the upkeep of the park facilities. The neighborhood is also part of the Bassett Creek Watershed, and is the location of the Bassett Park Pond sub-watershed. The watershed is overseen by the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission.

Our Next Stop:
Becker Park
Becker Park is a 12.2 acre park located downtown Crystal at the corner of Bass Lake Road and Bottineau Blvd. In 1948, the City of Crystal opened its first park to the public. It was called Crystal Park at the time, but was re-named Becker Park a few years later. Over these past 70 years, the activities and facilities offered have evolved as the community has changed. Another transformation was just completed in 2020. Becker park is now designed to better reflect the needs of the community today.
