Kilmer
Serene suburbia is what’s on offer in Kilmer, a small neighborhood in Saint Louis Park. Surrounded by nature reserves and golf clubs and with quick access to a major Interstate and Highway, this community is in a prime location. Split-level ranch-style homes, midcentury modern homes and Craftsman-style cottages comprise the neighborhood, with well-manicured lawns and built-in garages. Home prices in the area range from $328,000 to $410,000.
Children in the area attend Park Spanish Immersion Elementary School, which has an overall Niche grade of A-minus. The school incorporates the Spanish language into lessons in reading, writing, math, science and other subject areas, with the goal of making students proficient in the language by the time they leave the school. Next, students attend Saint Louis Park Middle School, with an overall Niche grade of B. Teenagers attend Hopkins Senior High School, with an overall Niche grade of A. The school was ranked as the number 10 best public high school in Minnesota.
The nearby Ford Park offers a playground, paved walking trails and a shaded picnic shelter. Westwood Hills Nature Center is the crown jewel of the area, however. The 160-acre natural area features marsh, woods and restored prairie. Locals can explore the various hiking trails, looking out for deer, turtles, foxes, mink and owls. Visitors can see the beautiful sky reflected on the surface of Westwood Lake, either from the boardwalk pier or right on the water via a kayak or canoe. Children in the area benefit from educational programs and camps at the nature center. Meanwhile, local golf enthusiasts have a couple of nearby clubs to choose from. Minneapolis Golf Club has been open for over a century—since 1916. The club boasts an 18-hole course and frequently hosts amateur and professional competitions. A more casual experience is offered at Brookview Golf & Lawn Bowling, where membership isn’t required.
Shopping, dining and entertainment are all on the table at the nearby Ridgedale Center, a bi-level mall full of popular brands, department stores and eateries. The Minnesota Playseum is inside the mall, offering a plethora of interactive activities for young children to enjoy. The Playseum recreates the adult world in a pretend city scaled to the young child’s size. There, kids can fix potholes on pretend roads, build a pizza at the Italian restaurant, take x-rays in the hospital room, pretend to bathe a dog at the pet shop and so much more. Beyond the pretend city, there’s a bookshop, slime-making station, arts and crafts and even cookie decorating station. The mall also includes the Breakout Games Escape Room, a fun interactive experience with riddles and puzzles for players to solve. Those who want to break a sweat can work out at the mall’s Planet Fitness or CYCLEBAR. Target, Best Buy and Petco are all close at hand, making shopping for essentials easy. Meanwhile, groceries are grabbed at the nearby Aldi or Trader Joe’s. When hunger strikes, Kip’s Authentic Irish Pub is the place to go for hearty shepherd’s pie, corned beef and cabbage or fish and chips, all washed down with iced cold beer. All this makes Kilmer an appealing place to call home.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
