Maple Grove is a bustling commerical hub with several parks
Northwest of the Twin Cities, Maple Grove has become a shopping and dining destination with plenty of green space, including seven lakes and more than 1,000 acres of parkland. The Arbor Lakes commercial district draws visitors from across the region, and residents never have to go far from their ramblers and New Traditional homes to get their essentials. When they do need to travel to Minneapolis, nearby interstates make the commute a breeze.

What buyers can pay for older ramblers and New Traditional homes
Maple Grove is dominated by single-family homes, with some built in the mid- to late 1900s and others more recently. Older ramblers, split-level homes and two-story traditional houses can range from the lower $200,000s to more than $1.5 million, with homes getting more expensive the closer they are to the city’s lakes. Large New Traditional homes can run from the mid-$300,000s to upwards of $2 million, and townhouses often sell between the upper $100,000s and the upper $900,000s. “There is low supply versus high demand, like pretty much everywhere in Minnesota,” says Molly Hangartner, a Realtor with Homes by Molly. “It’s tight right now, and when homes are priced right, they sell quickly.” The city tends to be less expensive than nearby communities like Dayton and Plymouth.
Ramblers are common in Maple Grove's older neighborhoods.

Arbor Lakes is home to brand-name stores and restaurants
Buyers who like to shop and try new restaurants should get familiar with Arbor Lakes, Maple Grove’s commercial hub. “The Arbor Lakes retail, dining and entertainment district is second in size only to the Mall of America [in the region],” says Joe Hogeboom, Maple Grove’s community and economic development director. The area is made up of several retail centers that link together. Shoppers can find big-name clothing brands like Lululemon at The Shoppes at Arbor Lakes, and big-box stores like Dick’s Sporting Goods at The Fountains at Arbor Lakes. For dining, you can try places like:
The Lookout Bar and Grill, a family-owned spot open since 1958
Grackle, a New American eatery with seasonal menus
Lotus, a casual Vietnamese restaurant
Brick & Bourbon, a craft beer bar with burgers and other classics
The Shoppes at Arbor Lakes is a massive shopping and dining complex in Maple Grove.

There's hiking, biking and tubing at Elm Creek Park Reserve
Maple Grove has dozens of parks and several lakes spread across the city. Elm Creek Park Reserve, at nearly 5,000 acres, is the biggest green space in the Three Rivers Park District system. The park is a hit with hikers and bikers, and people flock to its tubing hill each winter. Several of the city’s parks provide sports courts, ice rinks and playgrounds. Fish Lake Regional Park stands out for its swimming beach and fishing pier, and an interactive fountain and perennial gardens are highlights at Central Park of Maple Grove. You can play 18 holes at Rush Creek Golf Club, which has hosted a few LPGA Tour events.
