A townhouse community tucked away off U.S. Route 169
Amhurst is a small townhouse community on the northwest corner of the intersection of U.S. Route 169 and Highway 7. Its singular townhouse complex, Lohman’s Amhurst, was designed to keep its highway-side location a secret, with foliage so lush an onlooker would think they were in the middle of a forest. It’s equipped with small ponds and park benches, letting residents enjoy the area’s greenery, and is less than a mile away from extensive retail shopping. Living in Amhurst is all about ease — located in a quiet, secluded community with convenient access to anything a resident may need.
Amhurst’s singular townhouse complex, Lohman’s Amhurst, is a self-proclaimed “village in the city,” where lush greenery and a single entrance give it a secluded yet communal feel. With so much foliage, Amhurst has a life cycle with the seasons, the springs bright and green and the falls warm and cozy. The community was designed intentionally with ponds and park benches throughout, so it’s easy for residents to find a moment of peace. So residents can cool off in the summer, the complex has a seasonally open pool, and to stay active, residents can use its on-site tennis court. The neighborhood’s ‘80s-built townhouses are modest and unassuming, generally two stories with brown brick exteriors, but most have gone through interior renovations to accommodate modern lifestyles. Most units have fireplaces to keep cozy in the winter and patios to entertain outside in the summer. All units have two to three bedrooms, and prices range from $225,000 to $325,000.
The Amhurst neighborhood has various unit options in the community.

Access to highways and Cedar Lake Trail
Amhurst sits on the intersection of U.S. 169 and Highway 7, providing easy access to anywhere residents need to go. Because of its location alongside major highways, residents need cars to get around, or they can take the bus, which has a stop at the neighborhood’s entrance. Driving to downtown Minneapolis takes about 10 to 15 minutes, or residents can bike along the Cedar Lake Trail, a 4.5-mile paved trail with access points about a mile away from Amhurst. “The trail is a superhighway to downtown,” says Realtor Susan Melbye, who’s sold in the Twin Cities for 16 years. Residents can get to the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport in just under 30 minutes, and the nearest hospital to the neighborhood is Methodist Hospital, less than 10 minutes away.
Nearby parks and the Oak Ridge Country Club
Though Amhurst offers plenty of outdoor space within the community, nearby parks provide additional recreation opportunities. Knollwood Green Park is a small green space with a playground, Aquila Park offers amenities like athletic fields and multi-use trails and Burnes Park is best known for its splash pad. Some residents join the Oak Ridge Country Club, which has golf and tennis, restaurants, a fitness center and a swimming pool.

Fourth of July fireworks at Aquila Park
“One of the best fireworks shows in the Twin Cities is done right here at Aquila Park; a lot of people come from far away,” says local Realtor Gary Metchnek, who’s sold in the area for over 20 years. Each Fourth of July, the lawn fills with locals who go year after year in anticipation of the best fireworks show around. “If they grew up going there, they know what a great show it is.”
