Outdoor recreation creates year-round activities for residents and visitors
Lake Hiawatha, one of many bodies of water in the lake-dotted Twin Cities area, offers a year-round destination's highlights. Stop by the beach in the summer, or head to the playground and wading pool. The park becomes a popular ice skating area in the winter and remains a great place to bicycle year-round. “Minnehaha Creek meanders along the southern border,” says Nick Archer, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty. “It is also close to Lake Nokomis, so its location near the best nature has to offer makes it popular with those who appreciate the outdoors.” Be sure to experience the U.S. Pond Hockey Tournament on nearby Lake Nokomis, where teams gather for friendly competition. While a few star players may have college or professional credentials, most are amateurs looking forward to winning the golden shovel and celebrating with friends in the beer tent.
Ericsson residents enjoy a stroll around Lake Hiawatha in all seasons.

Great neighborhood to live no matter where you are in life. I love being able to walk to lakes (Hiwatha and Nokomis), a creek, coffee shops, bakeries, bars, the light rail, and biking opens even more possibilities. It's still somewhat affordable for being such a gem.
