A growing community at the eastern edge of Mankato
Growth defines the northern half of Eastwood Park, while industry defines the southern half. Continually developing subdivisions branch off Highway 22, and one of the most extensive hiking trails in the Mankato area cuts through the neighborhood’s northeastern corner — adding a wooded backdrop to many homes. “The majority of the area is newer development because there’s open land, and the city is growing,” says Jessica Tietema of RE/MAX, an agent with recent sales in the neighborhood. Where Eastwood Park was primarily open fields at the start of the 21st century, it has since become one of the rapidly growing suburban communities along Mankato’s edges. With the city’s largest retail center and the waterfront within a 3-mile drive, the neighborhood balances natural Minnesota beauty with suburban convenience.
Welcome to Eastwood Park, where you can find adventure, delicious dining, and fun entertainment.

Homes from the 21st century near Highway 22
Because industrial buildings comprise over 50% of the neighborhood, most Eastwood Park homes surround Trail Creek Park and fan out to the north and west. Narrow, winding streets are lined by carefully maintained sidewalks, hickory trees and grassy lots. Most homes have split-level, ranch-style or contemporary architecture, and the oldest homes in the neighborhood date back to the early 2000s. Vacant, buildable lots regularly hit the market, so subdivisions like Noah Estates and Miller Creek still see new construction. Some properties border small ponds or forests, giving the community a quieter feel than more developed neighborhoods to the west like Country Club Estates; however, city services like water and garbage pick-up still extend to each home. Two- and three-bedroom homes cost between $220,000 and $330,000, and four- and five-bedroom homes cost between $350,000 and $590,000.
The average home value in Eastwood Park is $295,740.
The median home price in Eastwood Park is $329,000.

A stop along the Sakatah Singing Hills trail
Access to the Sakatah Singing Hills State Trail, a 39-mile rails-to-trails conversion, remains one of the biggest draws for the subdivisions of Eastwood Park. The trail primarily attracts cyclists heading west to Mankato’s Riverfront Drive or east to White Sands Park in Faribault. For a playground and open green space, Trail Creek Park is along the neighborhood’s eastern border, north of Augusta Drive. Although the community doesn’t border the golf club, some residents are still members of the Mankato Golf Club, which is about 3 miles away. The private club features an 18-hole course, a heated pool and a clubhouse with an included restaurant.
Trail Creek Park is a lovely recreational area offering amenities for outdoor activities.
Sakatah Trail is popular for biking, walking, jogging, and inline skating in Eastwood Park.

Just north of River Hills Mall and the expanding restaurant scene
Eastwood Park feels distanced from Mankato’s busiest hubs, but the River Hills Mall is only 2 miles south. “It’s close to all the shopping areas. There’s Olive Garden, Applebee’s and your typical chain restaurants over there,” says Jim Pfau of Hiniker Realty, an agent actively working in the neighborhood. A Hy-Vee Grocery Store is also near the mall across Highway 22. The local restaurants of downtown Mankato can be reached within 5 miles, but it’s likely to see more dining options popping up closer to home. “Mankato is growing hugely. There are a lot of apartment buildings and commercial buildings being built,” Pfau says. Chick-fil-A is one of the many proposed additions close to the mall, and several apartments and retail sites are coming to Highway 14.
River Hills Mall is a popular destination for shopping and socializing in Eastwood Park.
