West Calhoun places everyday life right on the shoreline of Bde Maka Ska, where paved paths and sandy beaches make the lake your extended backyard. As part of the renowned Chain of Lakes Regional Park, it offers effortless access to miles of looping trails and the Grand Rounds Scenic Byway for walking, running, and cycling. In summer, the Minneapolis Sailing Center hosts lessons and races, while winter brings groomed paths and glittering skyline views across the ice.
Commuting and weekend errands are equally convenient. The neighborhood ties directly into the car-free Midtown Greenway, placing Uptown, breweries, and markets within a quick pedal. Metro Transit’s frequent service connects you to downtown and beyond, and the area continues to benefit from ongoing transit investments. Nearby communities like Minneapolis, Cedar-Isles-Dean, Kenwood, and Linden Hills add even more dining, culture, and parkland to explore.
Families appreciate access to Minneapolis Public Schools, with well-regarded options and specialized programs that draw students citywide. The Hennepin County Library’s Walker Library branch is a popular study spot and community hub, and local parks host seasonal events that make it easy to meet neighbors.
From lake-view condos and townhomes to sleek apartments near the trails, West Calhoun suits buyers and renters who want an outdoor-forward lifestyle without giving up urban convenience. Whether you’re relocating or selling to make your next move, Agent Pronto can connect you with an experienced local agent ready to help.
