A mixed-use neighborhood in central New Hope
Elm Grove is a mostly industrial section of New Hope with some single-family housing and apartments mixed in. The neighborhood is home to employers like mechanical contractors Horwitz LLC and Millwood Inc.’s pallet manufacturing facility, meaning many residents move here to live close to work.

Elm Grove is a neighborhood within New Hope, a 22,000-person city just 11 miles northwest of Minneapolis. “It’s a very diverse and supportive community,” says Council Member Michael Isenberg. “I’m on my second term on city council, so I’ve passed out a lot of literature and talked to a lot of people, and almost everyone I’ve come across is very happy to be a part of New Hope and is happy that new people are coming here and joining our community.”
