What is Edina, MN like? It is a close-in suburb with a long history. Edina began as a farming and milling community in the 1860s and incorporated in 1888, and today it is known for its named neighborhoods, its shopping districts, and 44 parks covering more than 1,550 acres.
Edina's neighborhoods
Edina is a city of distinct neighborhoods, and they differ a great deal in age, style, and lot size. A few examples:
- The Country Club District, an early twentieth-century planned neighborhood.
- Morningside, one of the earliest suburban neighborhoods in the area, dating to the early 1900s.
- Indian Hills, Parkwood Knolls, Rolling Green, and Interlachen, on the west side of the city.
- Braemar Hills and Dewey Hill, near Braemar Golf Course in the south.
- Condominiums and newer buildings around Centennial Lakes and Southdale.
Because the housing is so varied, the right comparison matters. We price and evaluate a home against others in its own neighborhood, not a citywide average. In many older neighborhoods, small original homes have been replaced by new ones, so we look closely at what is next door and what may be built there.
Shopping, parks, and creeks
- 50th and France. A walkable shopping and dining district that Edina shares with Minneapolis.
- Southdale Center and the Galleria. Southdale is the oldest indoor mall in the United States.
- Centennial Lakes Park. Ponds and paths surrounded by homes, offices, and shops.
- Edinborough Park. An indoor park with a play area.
- Braemar Golf Course and the Braemar ice arena.
- Minnehaha Creek and Nine Mile Creek, which both run through the city.
Commute and schools
The commute. Highway 62 runs east and west across the middle of Edina, Highway 100 runs north and south, and Highway 169 and Interstate 494 border the west and south sides. Downtown Minneapolis is a short drive, which is one of the main reasons buyers look here.
Schools. Edina Public Schools serves most of the city, with Edina High School and two middle schools, South View and Valley View. Confirm the schools for any specific address with the district.
