Suburban-living along Minnehaha Creek
Brick-laid pathways and local boutiques line the intersection of 50th & France Avenue at the northeast corner of Arden Park. “The shopping district is a major draw for the area, not to mention the larger lots and increased walkability that Arden Park is known for,” says Tom Nevers, local Realtor with Perpich Real Estate. This northern Edina neighborhood offers a secluded suburban feel with the convenience of nearby urban amenities and a thriving outdoor scene. Taking its name from the 18-acre greenspace located at its center, Arden Park was designed and constructed in 2019 to restore the local Minnehaha Creek Watershed and improve residents' access to additional recreational options. Featuring a scenic pedestrian bridge, during the summertime locals can kayak or tube their way downstream or stop along the banks to do some fishing. While the spacious park at this neighborhood's center is a major draw, Arden Park is also known for its A-rated school district and quiet streets, complete with a mature tree canopy. Proximity to State Highway 100 means commutes to/from downtown Minneapolis are accessible and residents should expect a 10-mile, or 20-minute trip one-way.
Farmhouse styles to New Traditionals
The housing market in Arden Park is highly competitive due to its large lot sizes and walkability within the community. “There’s a wide range of housing here from condos to larger homes, priced in the millions. We see a lot of tear-down turned new construction moving into the area,” says Nevers, who has been selling in the area for over 22 years. With a median sales price of $1.4 million, homes here cost $800,000 more than the average property within the Minneapolis Metro Area. Housing styles in Arden Park range from Tudor-Revivals and colonials to New Traditionals and farmhouse designs. Single-family homes here range from the low $500,000s for a three-bedroom to upwards of $2.4 million for an expansive five-bedroom estate. While single-family homes are the most common builds here, multi-family options like condos and townhouses are also available closer to 50th & France Avenue. Potential buyers should expect to spend close to $300,000 for a two-bedroom condo and upwards of $2 million for a four-bedroom townhouse.
