A Hennepin County city with historic charm
Eleven miles from downtown Minneapolis, Hopkins is considered a first-ring suburb, which is a stark contrast to its beginnings as a farming community. When Hopkins was incorporated in 1893 as the Village of West Minneapolis, most residents were employees of the Minneapolis Threshing Machine Company, which manufactured farm equipment. By the early 1920s and into the 1940s, Hopkins was known as the Raspberry Capital of the World, with more than 800 acres of berry fields. Now, measuring in at only 4 square miles, Hopkins could be easily overlooked. With fewer than 20,000 people, it has a bit of a small-town feel, but it comes to life with its bustling downtown area, great schools and a variety of housing options that are more affordable than most neighboring areas. "Hopkins has an amazing small-town feel while being close to the city," Joseph Carmack, a Realtor at Carmack Real Estate Group says. "The east side is great for those that want a short commute and proximity to box store shopping. Personally, I love the north side due to its quiet streets and short walk to the amazing restaurants in downtown Hopkins."
Downtown Hopkins has many features such as art galleries like Zeller Studio.

From midcentury split-levels to mixed-use condos

In a neighborhood like Nine Mile Cover, which is home to many brick condo buildings, units are usually listed in the low $100,000s, compared to the mixed-use condo buildings on Mainstreet, which can range from $250,000 to $350,000. The median price for a single-family home in Hopkins is $443,000, and $379,250 and $125,000 for townhouses and condos, respectively.

Hopkins holds annual Raspberry Festival
No event defines Hopkins as well as the Hopkins Raspberry Festival.

Ice skating, golfing and a splash pad at Hopkins parks
There are a handful of parks in Hopkins offering different types of recreation. Central Park is an 18-acre green space with grills, an outdoor ice-skating rink, pickleball courts, and a walking trail. In warmer weather, Burnes Park has a splash pad to cool off in, and Hilltop Park offers big shade trees to relax under. Hopkins is also popular with golfers, as it’s home to the private Oak Ridge Country Club, which is more than 100 years old and, in addition to its championship-level course, has restaurants, a swimming pool, tennis courts, and a fitness center. Meadowbrook Golf Course is a public course in the city that’s also well-loved.

Mainstreet boasts local shops, al fresco dining
Hopkins’ main drag is called Mainstreet (yes, all one word), and is a bustling street lined with local cafes, breweries, shops and restaurants – some with al fresco dining options during the warmer months. Carmack recommends Munkabeans Coffee for unique holiday drinks, and Pub819 for lunch or dinner. "Their Phuket curry bowl is a 10 out of 10," he says. There are also a lot of mixed-use buildings on Mainstreet, combining local eateries and shops with condos and apartments. For a traditional grocery store, Cub is about 2 miles away at The Shoppes at Knollwood, which also has box stores like Nodstrom Rack, Old Navy and Kohl’s.
