Parkwood Knolls is a standout in Edina, with a wealth of spacious, luxury living options enveloped in a quiet, suburban setting. This community is set in a forested landscape, with winding roads that often end in cul-de-sacs, giving residents additional privacy and lowering any through traffic. Homes in the neighborhood are priced higher than properties in the surrounding Presidents and Highlands neighborhoods and can start at $630,000 for a four-bedroom ranch-style home with an enclosed garage and spacious floor plan. There are also several contemporary estates that start out in the million-dollar range, reaching up to $3.3 million for properties sitting on several acres of land. If you want to build your dream home, there are several lots available for purchase.
If you want to spend the day outdoors, you’re just minutes away from the expansive 42-acre Van Valkenburg Park. The park has several softball fields, so you’ll likely see Little League or competitive leagues playing occasionally, and there’s a concession stand for snacks during the game. Dog parents can take their pups here to make new friends at the expansive off-leash dog park. Parents can take their children to Fox Meadows Park, which has a small playground perfect for a quick afternoon outing. Residents are also just a couple miles away from the 40-acre Highlands Park.
Living in Parkwood Knolls means you’re never too far from booking a tee time, with several options nearby. Interlachen Country Club has been an institution in the area since it was incorporated in 1909, providing its members with world-class amenities in addition to the 18-hole course, which has previously hosted the U.S. Open. Members can host events at the country club, ranging from weddings to business receptions. You can also book a tee time at the public Meadowbrook Golf Course, which is home to a par-72, 18-hole course with rolling hills and water hazards that provides a challenge to players of all levels.
Parents will likely enroll their children in the Hopkins School District public schools. Some students will start out at Alice Smith Elementary School, which has an overall B grade from Niche and offers a Spanish Immersion Program that gives students a leg up in being fluent in a second language. Next up is Hopkins North Junior High School, boasting an A-minus grade and student-teacher ratio of 15-to-1 according to Niche. Hopkins High School has a 9 out of 10 score on GreatSchools for college readiness and offers college courses through the Minnesota Post-Secondary Educational Options Program.
Getting around is a breeze with proximity to U.S. Route 169 and the Minnesota 100 nearby. The neighborhood is located about 12 miles from the central areas of Minneapolis, and 21 miles from downtown St. Paul. Residents can use Interlachen Boulevard to reach shops and dining options in the area. You can get groceries for tonight’s dinner at Jerry’s Foods and pick up any medication from Walgreens nearby. The Hilltop is a great place for a weekend brunch, offering plenty of classic breakfast options.
Parkwood Knolls is an easy choice if you’re looking for secluded, private living with plenty of amenities close by.

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.
