East BDE Maka Ska
From Cape Cods to Craftsman-style homes
Most homes were built between the 1900s-1940s, resulting in a variety of architecture. "We've got colonials, Cape Cods, Victorians and Craftsman," Leiviska says. "It's a mixture of all sorts of styles, which makes it fun to walk around." There are also lakefront properties, but not in the traditional sense, since a walking path surrounds the shoreline. "There are homes with lake views, and they are highly sought after, but list longer because they are higher priced," Leviska says. Prices range from $450,000 to $ 2.5 million; the median sale price is $520,000.

Enrolling at Washburn High School
Residents can send their kids to the public schools in nearby neighborhoods. Children may begin their education at Lyndale Elementary School, which earns a B-minus rating from Niche. Students can then continue at Justice Page Middle School and Washburn High School, which receive B and B-plus ratings, respectively. Washburn High School offers AVID, a nationally recognized college readiness program, to its students. Washburn High's clubs and extracurriculars include the Math Team, the environmentally focused Green Team, even an eSports team.

Kayaking at Bde Maka Ska
Bde Maka Ska Park is the central, defining feature of the neighborhood and offers amenities such as a bike path, boat dock, fishing pier and sports fields. "That's, for sure, one of the reasons you would want to move here," Leiviska says. "The lake is 3 miles around, so you can hike or bike around, or you could canoe or paddleboard." Because the community is situated right next to the lake, it is always within walking distance. The park is open daily from 6 a.m. to 12 a.m. in developed areas and 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. in underdeveloped regions. Rentals are available for canoes, kayaks, bikes, boats and paddles. During the summer, residents can bask in the sun on the beach.

Shopping and dining at Uptown
There are plenty of shopping and dining options in and around the neighborhood. According to Leviska, Uptown, located north of the neighborhood, is where residents get their groceries: "There's a Cub in Uptown, a Lunds & Byerlys in Uptown; basically, you go to Uptown for groceries and any essentials." There are also several local restaurants located along Hennepin Avenue. Kim's serves Korean American food with fun cocktails. Leiviska personally recommends Barbette, a French bistro. "We walk over there for wine and oysters," she says. For pastries, residents can head to the Black Walnut Bakery, which serves salads and soups alongside its baked goods.

An involved HOA
East Bde Maka Ska's neighborhood association regularly holds events for residents. Recurring events include Monday and Saturday Walks, meant to strengthen the community and serve as a version of a neighborhood watch. Volunteers also pick up litter during the walk and receive a free community safety shirt and knit cap.

Take Interstate 35 to Minneapolis
East of the neighborhood is Interstate 35 W, which residents can take to travel to downtown Minneapolis, about a 3-mile drive away. Public transportation options, such as buses, are also available.
