Jill and her husband, John, have owned duplexes in these Minneapolis neighborhoods - Uptown, Kingfield, and Seward. They enjoy owning and managing their investment properties. The Amundson family, Jill, husband - John, and their two daughters, currently live in Southwest Minneapolis in the Lynnhurst neighborhood.
