Minnetonka Mills has access to high-ranking schools and scenic greenery

Just east of the city center, Minnetonka Mills draws in locals with its high-ranking schools and elbow room. “When I talk to people who’ve moved here, the same things bring them here,” says Realtor Cassie Frick with Edina Realty. “It’s the schools, the lots and the park system.” Dotted with trees, ponds and lakes, the area features an interconnected trail system and public transit that provide convenient, walkable routes to local stores and restaurants.

Minnetonka Mills residents enjoy elbow room on median half-acre lots, where split-level and ranch-style homes provide spacious living in a tree-covered suburban setting.

Midcentury homes in the area are well-established

Most homes in the area are well-established midcentury designs, with a median construction date in the late 1950s. Split-levels and ranch-style houses range from $340,000 to $630,000, often based on lot size, with a median size of about half an acre. On average, homes sell just over a month after being listed, faster than the city average. “We’ve seen some redevelopment every now and then through the years,” she says, “but it’s not like further west, where the suburbs are really exploding.”

Minnetonka Mills combines natural beauty with urban convenience, where dotted ponds, lakes, and tree-lined streets create a scenic residential environment near downtown amenities.

Kids' Fest celebrates the winter with dog sleds and a bonfire

Held every June in Civic Center Park, Summer Fest celebrates the season with a day of live music, food and fireworks. In February, the city holds Kids’ Fest, which takes advantage of the snow with dog sled rides, ice carving and a bonfire with s’mores.

Minneapolis is about 12 miles east

Interstates 394 and 494 are the main thoroughfares in the area, providing a direct route to Minneapolis, about 12 miles away. Metro Transit is a public bus service with stops on Highway 7 and Shady Oak Road. A citywide trail connects many of Minnetonka's most popular parks and local businesses. "Outside of the trail, we're pretty car-bound," Frick says. "But there are pockets that connect to so many places through the trail."
