Description: This is a very nicely kept two-bedroom duplex with a spiral staircase to the bedroom floor -- a very nice feature for such a reasonably priced condo. Plus, it has a garage space and it gets lots of sunlight.

The association provides lots of recreational facilities, including a pool, tennis courts, volley ball pit and a party room. Still, ownership costs are low with taxes less than $500 a year and monthly maintenance $250.

Brooklyn Park is about 10 miles from downtown Minneapolis and is an early suburb. Garrison Keillor was raised here, and Jesse Ventura was mayor in the 1990s.
