Buying a Home in Maple Grove: Lakes, Arbor Lakes, and the Commute
A clear plan for buying your next home in Minnesota, from the first conversation to the keys in your hand.
Buying a home in Maple Grove
Maple Grove has 13 named lakes and one of the busiest interchanges in the metro area. I'm Lesley, a REALTOR® with Bridge Realty, and we help buyers weigh both.
What should I know before buying a home in Maple Grove? Decide what you want to be close to: a lake, the Arbor Lakes shopping district, or the interstate. Interstates 94, 494, and 694 meet at the city's edge, which is convenient and also crowded at rush hour.

Three kinds of Maple Grove locations
- Near the lakes. Around Weaver Lake, Fish Lake, and Rice Lake. We check whether a home has lake access, a view, or neither.
- Near Arbor Lakes and Main Street. Townhomes and condominiums within reach of shops and restaurants. We review the association.
- Newer subdivisions. With new construction, the sales consultant works for the builder, so bring us on your first visit.
Before you choose, we drive from the home to the interstate at the hour you would leave for work. The distance on a map and the time in traffic are not the same here.
