Once a farming village named for its beautiful landscape, Eden Prairie has grown into a city that retains a strong connection to nature. Homebuyers are often drawn to the area’s expansive parks, lakes and biking trails, as well as a housing stock that ranges from late-1900s ramblers to custom estates. It’s almost as easy to reach the Twin Cities as it is to have outdoor fun, thanks to several nearby highways that connect drivers to the rest of the region.

What buyers can pay for two-story houses, ramblers and custom homes
The city’s single-family homes — including ramblers, traditional two-story houses and custom estates — were mainly built in the late 1900s. Prices generally range from the mid-$200,000s for a standard rambler to upwards of $2 million for a lakeside luxury home. Townhomes are also popular and can run from the mid-$100,000s to around $1.5 million. There are a handful of condos that often sell between the mid-$100,000s and the upper $300,000s. The city tends to be less expensive than neighboring Minnetonka, but more expensive than Shakopee to the south. Homes near Flying Cloud Airport, a small airport used for general aviation, may experience some noise.
Townhomes can be found throughout Eden Prairie.
Luxury housing can be found in the city's newer developments.

Trails, parks, lakes and several golf courses
Eden Prairie has more than 4,500 acres of wetlands, along with 1,000 acres of public parks and close to 20 lakes. “It’s an amazing community with beautiful neighborhoods, trails and parks everywhere,” says Mary Jo Patterson, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Burnet Helgeson/Platzke Group. The Minnesota River Bluffs Regional Trail, one of the city’s most popular trails, is a scenic route along a former railroad line. Bryant Lake Regional Park is among the city's largest green spaces. It’s home to trails, sports facilities and Bryant Lake Beach, where people can lounge on the sand or go for a swim. Round Lake Park stands out for its bike park and skateboarding area, and Purgatory Creek Park is known for its robust gardens. The city has three private golf courses within the community, all of which require membership.
Residents can take bike rides on the area's trails.

Commute to Minneapolis by car or by bus
Drivers can quickly hop on Interstate 494 and U.S. highways 212 and 169, which connect to the rest of the Twin Cities. Downtown Minneapolis is just over 15 miles away, a 20- to 45-minute drive, depending on the time of day. Some residents work there, while others work in Eden Prairie’s commercial and industrial hubs, like the Golden Triangle. SouthWest Transit buses can take riders downtown as well as to Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport and the University of Minnesota’s flagship campus.
