Linden Hills pairs lakeside living with small-scale urban energy. Tucked between Lake Harriet and Bde Maka Ska on the southwest edge of Minneapolis, it offers leafy streets, classic early-20th-century homes, and a walkable village center around 43rd & Upton and 44th & France near Edina. Evenings often drift toward concerts at the Lake Harriet Bandshell, strolls on the shoreline paths, or a stop at the storybook-famous Wild Rumpus bookstore, where resident cats and chickens sometimes help with recommendations.
Families appreciate strong public options: Lake Harriet Community School anchors K–8, and nearby Southwest High School is a city standout with robust arts and athletics. The neighborhood’s pocket parks, Beards Plaisance’s tennis and sledding hill, and the rose garden just east of the lake invite year-round outdoor time. On quieter afternoons, the Craftsman-era Linden Hills Library serves as a cozy hub for reading, study, and community events.
Commuters find quick connections to Uptown, the western suburbs, and St. Louis Park, while cyclists enjoy direct access to the Grand Rounds trails. Dining ranges from casual cafes to chef-driven spots along France and Upton, with weekend patios that brim when the sun shows up. Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or seeking a first home, Linden Hills rewards those who value parks, schools, and a true neighborhood main street. When you’re ready to buy or sell here, Agent Pronto can connect you with a top local real estate agent who knows Linden Hills inside and out.
