Medina blends rural charm with nearby suburban amenities
Medina is a quiet, semi-rural community northwest of Minneapolis known for its spacious homes and scenic surroundings. People are drawn to the area for its custom-built estates and large lots that offer privacy, as well as access to four highly rated school districts and nearby restaurants. Green spaces like the expansive Baker Park Reserve connect residents with nature, while commuters benefit from relatively easy access to downtown Minneapolis.

What people often pay for two-story homes and custom estates
While some of the historically rural area’s homes were built in the late 1900s, many were added after 2000. You can find plenty of large, custom estates as well as ramblers, traditional two-story homes and contemporary houses. Though some suburban developments have popped up in recent years, many homes still have large lots that provide privacy. Prices can range from the lower $300,000s to more than $4.5 million. Detached New Traditional townhomes and villas often run from the lower $300,000s to more than $1.5 million. The community tends to be more expensive than nearby areas like Plymouth and Corcoran, though it is less expensive than Orono to the south.

Wayzata High School serves several communities.
Students are served by four highly rated school districts
Medina is served by four public school districts. Most students are zoned for either Wayzata Public Schools or Orono Public Schools, but some near the city’s northern border fall under Delano Public Schools and Rockford Area Schools. All four districts are highly rated. Orono High School offers four pre-engineering courses through Project Lead the Way. Private options include Holy Name of Jesus Catholic School, which serves prekindergarten through sixth grade.
An easy commute to downtown Minneapolis
The car-dependent city has convenient access to U.S. Highway 12 and state Highway 55. Driving to downtown Minneapolis, about 20 miles away, can take 30 minutes to an hour. Some residents work there, and others work closer to home for companies like Polaris, which is headquartered in Medina. The closest hospital is Abbott Northwestern-WestHealth, less than 10 miles away in Plymouth.
Peg's Countryside Cafe is a community gathering place.
Try a classic cafe or a seafood spot by Lake Minnetonka
A residential community by design, Medina has a limited dining scene, but there are plenty of spots to try within a short drive. You can visit places like:
Peg's Countryside Cafe, a breakfast and brunch spot that serves hearty comfort food
Burrito Corner, a fast-casual eatery that serves modern Tex-Mex
Oak Eatery, a family-owned New American restaurant
Robert's Craft Kitchen & Bar, a sports-friendly spot inside the Medina Entertainment Center
Cov, a coastal-inspired seafood eatery with views of Lake Minnetonka

Baker National Golf Course is part of Baker Park Reserve.
Baker Park Reserve and lakeside adventures
The city's largest green space is Baker Park Reserve, which covers around 2,700 acres along the shores of Lake Independence. Paved trails wind through meadows and forests, and visitors can swim at the beach, cast a fishing line, have a picnic or go camping. Cross-country skiing trails and sledding hills open each winter. The park is also home to Baker National Golf Course, which has nine- and 18-hole courses as well as a driving range. Hamel Legion Park provides ballfields, sports courts, a community center, a playground and a wintertime ice rink. People can drive less than 10 miles south to visit the beaches and parks found along Lake Minnetonka, like Noerenberg Gardens. For a good time indoors, you can check out the Medina Entertainment Center, home to a bowling alley and a concert venue.
You can attend a rodeo and the Hennepin County Fair
Residents can easily attend regional events like the Hamel Rodeo & Bull Ridin' Bonanza, a multi-day July competition featuring steer wrestling and barrel racing in addition to the bull riding main event. The Hennepin County Fair brings food, competitions and family-friendly fun each June. Both events are held at Corcoran Lions Park in Corcoran. Medina Celebration Day, held each fall at Hamel Legion Park, combines a business expo with bingo games, food trucks, live music and fireworks.
