About Us



Mill City Commons is a membership organization for neighbors 55+, most of whom choose to live in the Central Riverfront District of Minneapolis.

We are a welcoming neighborhood “village” that builds community through an exciting array of programs that connect us with each other and the resources needed to maintain and support vibrant lives as we age.

We learn.

We celebrate diversity of all kinds and learn from one another. We welcome the personal growth that comes from interactions with others of all ages and experiences.

We share.

We give back through helping each other, participating in community engagement projects and sharing our own experiences through diverse social, educational and wellness activities.


We engage.

You’ll find our members at gyms and on walking paths, in coffee shops and community meetings, at ball games and classes, and exploring the neighborhood on a Nosy Neighbor Tour. With a wonderful calendar of events to choose from, there’s something for all.

We give.

From a friendly ear to resources that help you navigate life’s ups and downs, Mill City Commons is here. We’re committed to meeting the changing health and lifestyle needs of our members as they age, knowing that “support” can be both practical and emotional.


We make it easy to choose when to engage, where to give of your time and how to revel in all our neighborhood has to offer.
