Nature and residential streets span Willowstone, a riverside community
Willowstone’s residential streets meet the natural calm of surrounding green spaces along the western bank of the Mississippi River, about 15 miles north of Minneapolis. The seemingly secluded area has highway access and remains close to commercial areas with shops and restaurants. “Around [the neighborhood] is all newer development, but itself is a little older, so there are more moderately priced homes and parks,” says Tom Walters, a Realtor at Edina Realty’s The Walters Group, who has over 40 years of experience.

Parks, golf and natural space with trails tracing the river’s edge
Willowstone Park has a castle-themed playground, a baseball field and tennis and basketball courts. Royal Oaks Park is home to a playground and baseball fields. The Mississippi Gateway Regional Park spans 160 acres along the riverbank, with over 2 miles of forested trail and, in 2026, will have new features such as tree-top walking trails. “People fish from shore, and the river has a lot of boating. South [of the dam] is too shallow, so people aren’t there, but north, you’ll see pontoon boats and ski boats,” Perkins says. Edinburgh, a public, 18-hole golf course, operated by the City of Brooklyn Park, is also nearby. It is one of only two courses in the entire state to have been designed by Robert Trent Jones II, a renowned golf course architect.
Willowstone residents can enjoy an afternoon out at the Edinburgh Golf Course.
