Lake Cornelia has lakeside living with walkable parks and wooded lots
Situated in central Edina, Lake Cornelia is sandwiched between a tranquil 58-acre lake and multiple upscale shopping centers. ”It’s got great proximity to France Avenue, where the Galleria and Southdale Mall are. They’re trendy, high-end destinations for shopping and restaurants,” says Greg Anderson, a broker at RE/MAX Advisors West with over 30 years of experience in the greater Minneapolis area. However, residents of Lake Cornelia can still get away from all the buzz. With parks within walking distance and homes on wooded lots, the neighborhood feels less like it’s on the cusp of a bustling retail area and more like a tucked-away lakeside glade.
Many streets in Lake Cornelia are lined with mature trees.
Walking the ample walking paths is a favorite activity in Lake Cornelia.

Local restaurants and regional chains stretch up and down France Avenue and within the nearby shopping centers just east of Lake Cornelia.

With the Galleria and Southdale malls along France Avenue, you won't run out of shopping either. Head to the Galleria for a sleek, modern shopping center with upscale brand names in fashion and home products.

Established neighborhood with large lawns and tall trees
Tall oaks stretch out over the wide, sloping streets, providing shade to large lawns and established homes. “Most of the houses here were built in the mid-century. There are a lot of longtime residents since it’s an area people really want to be in,” Anderson says. “You have families who’ve lived in their homes for decades and newer people who are coming in and buying remodeled houses.” A range of styles and sizes cater to different budgets, from ranch-style to split-level houses with three to six bedrooms. A 1,000-square-foot home could be listed at $420,000, but a renovated home with twice the square footage may sell for just over $1 million. The median house in Lake Cornelia costs around $815,000 and has 5 bedrooms.
