Midcentury ranch-style homes make up most of Kylawn
Mid- to late-20th-century homes sit on the grassy lawns of Kylawn, shaded by spruce and maple trees. Driveways lead to one- and two-car garages, many of which are detached. Colorful ranch styles with vinyl siding make up most of the neighborhood, featuring hip and gable roofs that let the snow and rain roll off. Some split-levels add variety to the housing market. Prices for a two- to three-bedroom typically fall between $225,000 and $375,000. Townhouses usually cost $200,000 to $300,000.Kylawn has noteworthy winter weather, with an annual snowfall of about 59 inches. If there is more than 2.5 inches on the street or 1 inch on the sidewalk, snowplows ride through the neighborhood. One side effect of the plows is blocked driveways, so the city encourages residents to shovel them after the plows come through. Homes near Kylawn Park and the arboretum are at risk of flooding, meaning flood insurance is required by most private and all federally-backed mortgage lenders.

Park Center Senior High School earns a B-minus and is an International Baccalaureate World School.Highways and transit lead to the Twin Cities
