The Phillips Community is an ethnically diverse area located just south of Downtown Minneapolis, in the middle of the City and is generally considered to be a transient population. The neighborhood and its junior high school take their names from Wendell Phillips, a 19th century abolitionist.

The community population is comprised of people of many nationalities including over 100 ethnic backgrounds. The community is a mix of residential, commercial and industrial uses. It is home to several large employers such as Abbott Northwestern Hospital, Wells Fargo Mortgage and Allina Health Care Services along with numerous other small neighborhood businesses.

Phillips recently received a major boon to their neighborhood with the $189 million redevelopment of the vacant Sears building at Chicago Avenue and Lake Street. The building is now home to the Midtown Global Market, a mixed-used development of offices, hotel and retail as well as a comprehensive farmers' market during the growing season.

The community makes an effort to provide safe recreational alternatives to its youth via the East Phillips Community Center. This community center, once a junior high school, provides indoor basketball courts and pool and a craft room. Phillips houses a portion of the unique Midtown Greenway, a paved trail that spans four Minneapolis communities and ends at the Mississippi

River.

The Midtown Greenway provides a bike path across the width of Minneapolis and even connects first-ring suburbs, particularly handy for adventurous commuters and cycling enthusiasts. The light rail skirts Phillips' eastern border along Hiawatha, and public transportation is widely used and available in the area. The most attractive dining and entertainment options can be easily accessed in Downtown Minneapolis, just a few blocks up the road.

The community is actively partnering with non-profit organizations to re-develop housing units that need refurbishment, and generate affordable housing options by converting single-family residences to multi-family, and increasing opportunities to rent. Housing options include many affordable single and multiple-family homes and rentals, as well as many investment and equity-builder homes. Most of the homes are older as this neighborhood is very mature and highly developed.

In June 2007, the average home sales price for a single family home or condo in Phillips, MN was $172,367. While this data is collected from the MLS and deemed reliable, it is not guaranteed.
