Home inspection in Crystal.

Crystal is a 5.8-square-mile inner-ring Hennepin County city of about 23,300 residents northwest of Minneapolis. The housing inventory is one of the most consistent in the metro: roughly 85% of homes were built between 1948 and 1968 — small post-war ramblers, story-and-a-halves, and Capes on quarter-acre lots.

More about this service in Blaine

Crystal inspections almost universally surface era-typical findings: Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels in pre-1975 stock (extremely common — Crystal had a heavy concentration of mid-60s tract builds), aluminum branch wiring on 1965-1973 builds, original cast iron drain stacks, single-pane wood windows past lifespan, asbestos siding and floor tile, ice dam damage from shallow soffits, and roofs replaced once but with original step flashings and underlayment. Schools are Robbinsdale Area Schools ISD 281. Becker Park, Hagemeister Pond, and the historic Crystal Airport (the busiest reliever airport in MN) define the city's identity. Drive time from Blaine: 25 minutes. Crystal is a strong first-time-buyer market.
