#1: ARDEN PARK NEIGHBORHOOD
The Arden Park Neighborhood of Edina is one of the most popular and coveted areas in Edina and has become a hot spot in recent years for new home buyers.
Unlike Edina Country Club, there are no restrictions on tearing down existing homes, which has led to the construction of many new, high-end luxury homes.
But like Country Club and other northeast Edina neighborhoods, it has immediate access to Minnehaha Creek nature area and trails, and 50th & France retail and restaurants.
In addition, a multi-million dollar renovation of Arden Park (from which it derives its name) was just completed and includes a new warming house, hockey rink, playground, and walking trails.
#2: EDINA COUNTRY CLUB NEIGHBORHOOD
Country Club neighborhood is one of the city’s most recognizable luxury residential settings. Platted in 1924 as one of Minnesota’s earliest modern planned communities, it features mature tree-lined streets and distinctive Tudor, Colonial Revival, French Provincial, Mediterranean and other historic architectural styles.
The Heritage Landmark District helps preserve the neighborhood’s architectural character and cohesive streetscape. Buyers are drawn to its historic homes, proximity to Minnehaha Creek and convenient access to the shops and restaurants at 50th & France. Renovation history, architectural integrity and location within the district can create meaningful differences in value from one property to another.
#3: MINNEHAHA WOODS NEIGHBORHOOD
The Minnehaha Woods Neighborhood of Edina is situated on the east side of Minnehaha Creek, just across from Arden Park. The Creek winds through this storybook 1940s neighborhood and is the defining feature of the area.
Some of the most charming homes and streets can be found here, mixed in with an assortment of handsome new construction homes built in the last 10 years.
Classic subdivisions like South Harriet Park and Colonial Grove defined the character of the area and gave it a classic New England feel, with immediate access to 50th and France’s desirable boutiques, grocery stores, and restaurants.
#4: ROLLING GREEN NEIGHBORHOOD
The Rolling Green Neighborhood of Edina is the ultimate luxury neighborhood in Edina and offers large, sweeping estates with many luxury lifestyle features.
Rolling Green is bounded by two golf courses (perhaps symbolically!), and you can find luxury homes on both Interlachen Golf Course and Meadowbrook Golf Course.
Rolling Green homes can range 10,000+ sf in size, and offer every possible luxury amenity including pools, tennis courts, indoor sports courts, and more.
The streetscapes are wide, bucolic, and forested, and make the neighborhood feel like a very exclusive and serene country estate.
#5: WHITE OAKS NEIGHBORHOOD
White Oaks is a striking contrast to its immediate neighbor of Edina Country Club, with a much more relaxed, undulating, and non-grid streetscape, and without any restrictions on teardown for new construction buyers.
The neighborhood sits adjacent to the 50th and France District for convenient and immediate access to great shopping and restaurants.
The housing stock features classic archetypes and a variety of natural features, including wetlands and forested areas. Like Arden Park, White Oaks has become white hot with buyers in recent years.
#6: PARKWOOD KNOLLS NEIGHBORHOOD
Much like Indian Hills, the Parkwood Knolls Neighborhood of Edina offers an ark-like environment, with a network of ponds, pockets of forest, wide streetscapes, and bigger, private lots.
Parkwood Knolls sits in both the Edina 273 and Hopkins 271 school districts, which most buyers are aware of and choose according to their desired school choice (public or private).
Homes here are large, spread out, and accommodate a variety of outdoor structures including pools, (pond) hockey rinks, storage sheds, sports courts, and more.
Parkwood Knolls is anchored by Walnut Ridge Park, which offers an awesome skating rink, warming house, and playground, along with access to the Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail.
#7: HIGHLANDS NEIGHBORHOOD
The Highlands Neighborhood of Edina has one of the strongest school followings in all of Edina and has grown significantly as a luxury home destination in the last decade.
Highlands is a self-contained valley of sorts, anchored by Highlands Park which includes sports fields, a playground, a hockey rink, and a warming hut, as well as unencumbered greenspace and wetlands that make it very unique.
Because of the larger lots in Highlands, luxury home buyers have flocked to the neighborhood, and you will find many well-appointed homes north of $2M with sports courts, ice rinks, and private gyms.
Like its Rolling Green neighbor, you will find wide, lush streetscapes with mature housing stock and great places to walk and enjoy the outdoors year-round!
#8: GOLF TERRACE HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD
This quaint northeast neighborhood lies along the south border of Edina Country Club, from where it gets its moniker.
The housing stock contains two-story homes (both new and existing) along the frontage of the country club with panoramic views, along with spacious mid-century ramblers and brand-new luxury homes on the interior streets.
Golf Terrace Heights is anchored by beautiful Lake Harvey, with walking paths and beautiful tree-lined streets that are loved by walkers and residents alike. The Harvey lakeshore properties are some of the most coveted lots in Edina!
The neighborhood is also immediately adjacent to the school complex, which includes Normandale French Immersion, Concord Elementary, and South View Middle School.
#9: MORNINGSIDE NEIGHBORHOOD
This classic northeast Edina neighborhood can feel more like urban Minneapolis than suburban Edina, which is what many people love about it!
The housing stock (and tight-knit neighborhood association) feels very southwest Minneapolis and features an assortment of classic homes mixed in with an ever-growing base of new construction homes.
44th and France retail offers quick access to retail and restaurants on foot, while Grimes and Kojetin Parks offer everything you need for outdoor recreation.
Moreover, a recent acquisition of Weber Woods from Minneapolis gives residents (and pets) another place to enjoy the outdoors.
#10: INDIAN HILLS NEIGHBORHOOD
Like many West Edina neighborhoods, Indian Hills offers a more suburban, pastoral experience than on the east side, with larger, more private lots.
As its name suggests, Indian Hills is a network of forests, hills, and lakes that make it feel like you’re “in the country, in the city.”
The neighborhood is anchored by two wonderful lakes, Indianhead and Arrowhead, which both offer premium lakefront properties and building sites.
Unlike the east side, streets are wide, undulating, and without sidewalks. With more room to build, luxury homes in the area tend to be in the 8,000+ sf range, and often feature pools and other outdoor facilities. This is a great area to build a private luxury retreat.
