Lakefront views and luxury estates
Following the rambling roads through the hills, locals are surrounded by thick shrubbery and shaded by old-growth trees. The housing market in Indian Hills is highly competitive due to the above average lot sizes and the distinguished school district. “Well-represented homes go fast and in multiple offers too,” says Martenson, the creator of the "Living in Minneapolis" YouTube channel. “The market is robust, with higher-end homes, but the inventory is low like most areas in Edina.” With a median sales price of $740,000, homes in Indian Hills are valued at nearly 2.5x the average sales price for a home within the Minneapolis Metro Area. Indian Hills features a variety of home styles ranging from smaller ramblers and split-levels to larger Tudor estates and contemporary New Traditionals. Price points here can vary from the mid $500,000s for a four-bedroom ranch-style to upwards of $4.5 million for a seven-bedroom estate with waterfront views. Homes along Arrowhead or Indianhead Lake are subject to increased price points and start around $1 million. Homes often feature paved driveways leading to multi-car garages. Tidy lawns sit closer to the street, whereas lakeside homes sprawl out on lots that span multiple acres.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
