April 7, 2006 - Thirty-four homes in Minneapolis and 18 in Saint Paul will be featured on the Minneapolis & Saint Paul Home Tour Saturday, May 6 and Sunday, May 7. Homes on the free, self-guided tour will be open Saturday, May 6 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, May 7, 1-5 p.m.
This "celebration of city living" has residents opening their doors to show off real homes and creative remodeling ideas for home additions, kitchens, bathrooms, and master suites. New ownership opportunities are also on the tour. Several homes feature solar power, energy efficiency, or "green" construction methods, a mini-tour complementing the Living Green Expo, which is on the same weekend.
Home Tour Guides with maps and descriptions of all 52 homes will be available in mid-to-late April at local libraries in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Hennepin and Ramsey Counties. The Guide will be included in the April 29 StarTribune Homes section in Minneapolis, and City Pages in St. Paul and some Minneapolis locations May 3. Homes are also featured at
