Neighborhood in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota
Hennepin County 55444
Palmer Lake is a community less than 15 miles north of Minneapolis with quiet cul-de-sacs and nearby parks, located in the southern region of Brooklyn Park, which meets the Mississippi River to the east. “Brooklyn Park is known for parks, a couple of recreational areas and lots of bike trails. It’s a very active community,” says Tom Walters, a local Realtor at Edina Realty’s The Walters Group, who has over 40 years of experience.
Single-family homes are stationed in cul-de-sacs, including bi-levels and split-levels, some of which feature panel siding and brick on the base. Garages are often attached, leaving one or two fewer cars to clear after snowstorms. Bi-level prices range from $320,000 to $380,000; split-level prices are between $325,000 and $390,000. Condo communities are listed between $155,000 and $195,000.

Meadowwood Park has a playground and benches overlooking an open space. “Palmer Lake is a nice nature area with lots of walking trails,” says Jon Perkins, a Realtor with RE/MAX who has over 40 years of experience and used to live nearby. “It’s got large ponds and wooded trails, all kinds of playground equipment and tennis courts.” The Palmer Lake Environmental Nature Area is the largest nature preserve in the city, spanning nearly 200 acres. It sits between Palmer Lake Park, to the east, and West Palmer Park, which are connected via the Shingle Creek Regional Trail, a paved loop around the preserve’s marshes and wetlands totaling over 3 miles. West Palmer Lake’s nature-themed playground with a zipline is adjacent to baseball fields and tennis courts. Palmer Lake Park also has baseball fields in addition to its futuristic-themed playground and basketball court.
The shopping center of Edinburgh Festival Centre has a Festival Foods and Golden Lion Supermarket, a locally owned market with ingredients from Asian countries. “We’ve got a lot of the chain restaurants in Brooklyn Park, and it has a tremendous number of small restaurants and international restaurants,” Perkins says. Nearby restaurants include the Fat Nat’s Eggs diner, where breakfast foods and sandwiches are served until the afternoon. The café Mi-Sant is also close by, and it gets its name from banh mi and croissants, both of which are menu features. Within a 5-mile drive of Palmer Lake, Shingle Creek Crossing shopping mall has national retailers, such as T.J. Maxx.
Local thoroughfares, including Brookdale Drive and Humboldt Avenue, have Metro Transit bus stops. Brookdale Drive runs west and east, intersecting Highway 252, a road to Interstate 94. Minneapolis is about a 10-mile drive, and the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport is approximately 25 miles away.
