Edina

What Makes Edina Special

Edina occupies a unique spot in the Twin Cities metro — it’s close enough to Minneapolis to feel connected to the city, but has a fully realized character of its own. The city is defined by its mature tree-lined neighborhoods, pristine lakes, and a retail corridor (50th & France) that rivals anything you’d find in a major city.

Neighborhoods to Know

Morningside is one of Edina’s most beloved neighborhoods — small lots, 1920s–1940s bungalows, and a tight-knit community feel. Properties here move fast.

Indian Hills offers larger lots and more privacy, popular with families looking for room to grow without leaving the city.

The Promenade area near Centennial Lakes Park is a go-to for walkability — trails, outdoor dining, and the year-round Centennial Lakes activity center are all steps away.

The Real Estate Market

Edina’s real estate market is consistently competitive. The combination of highly rated schools, proximity to major employment centers, and a strong community identity keeps demand elevated. Expect well-maintained homes at premium prices — the median hovers around $620K, with significant variation by neighborhood.

Inventory tends to tighten in spring, so buyers working with a local agent early in the year are often best positioned.

Schools

The Edina school district is the main draw for many families. Edina High School regularly ranks among Minnesota’s top public schools, and the district’s elementary and middle programs are similarly regarded. Private options including Countryside Christian Academy are also available.

Getting Around

Edina is car-friendly by default, though the 50th & France area and the Centennial Lakes corridor are genuinely walkable. The city has invested in bike infrastructure along France Avenue and connecting to Minneapolis trails. For commuters, Highway 169 and I-494 provide direct access to major employment centers in Eden Prairie, Bloomington, and Minneapolis.
