Living at the heart of Brooklyn Park
At the heart of Brooklyn Park, this city's water tower welcomes residents' home to Birch Grove. Offering buyers a suburban lifestyle and proximity to local attractions, "Birch Grove's appeal lies in its diverse population, extensive park system and proximity to major highways,” explains Jon Perkins, Realtor with Re/Max Results. He goes on to add that the greater “Brooklyn Park area is also home to excellent recreational facilities and beautiful trails along the Mississippi River.” Many residents of Birch Grove are also within walking distance of both the public Edinburgh Golf Course and the 73-acre Central Park, which hosts Little League games in spring and ice-skating in the winter. Homes in Birch Grove primarily feature ranch-styles and split-level designs, all within 12 miles of downtown Minneapolis.

Ranch styles and split-levels
The real estate market in Birch Grove is attractive for its entry level costs. “It’s all about pricing,” says David Kim, Realtor at Imagine Realty. “If the home shows well and its competitively priced, they sell pretty easily.” With a median sales price of $300,000, homes in Birch Grove cost around $130,000 less than the average property in the Minneapolis metro area. For example, prices here can range from as low as $160,000 for a three-bedroom split-level to upwards of $500,000 for a five-bedroom ranch-style. Most homes were constructed in the late 1970s, resulting in ramblers and split-level designs common of the era. Single-family homes are the most common here and most feature attached garages, paved driveways and backyard fencing. Some multi-family 'twin' style homes are also available. The streets here are primarily residential, and Brookdale Drive branches off into cul-de-sacs.
Split level homes are prevalent in the Birch Grove neighborhood.
