Step inside a Twin Cities Dream Home

The spring Parade of Homes tour is underway in the Twin Cities. This year there are 386 homes featured all across the metro in a variety of price points. Almost all the homes are free to tour Friday through Sunday from noon to 6 p.m., March 8 through April 7. The six dream homes cost $5 to check out and that money goes to the nonprofit, Housing First Minnesota Foundation, which builds transitional housing for Minnesotans experiencing homelessness.
