Browndale. Tree-canopied streets and well-kept midcentury homes give this pocket of St. Louis Park a welcoming, low-key rhythm, with sidewalks that actually lead somewhere—coffee on Excelsior Boulevard, a quick bike ride to a park, or an easy commute into Minneapolis or Edina. Its location in Hennepin County puts major employers, healthcare, and cultural destinations within convenient reach, while Highway 7 and Wooddale Avenue offer straightforward connections. The planned Southwest light rail stations nearby promise even more car-optional options in the years ahead.
Weekends tend to revolve around fresh air. Browndale Park anchors the neighborhood with a playground, open fields, and shady picnic spots, and the paved Cedar Lake Regional Trail unfurls just to the north, linking riders and runners to Uptown, the lakes, and the western suburbs via the Three Rivers network (learn more at Cedar Lake Regional Trail’s official page from the Three Rivers Park District). Year-round recreation is close by at The Rec Center, home to ice rinks and a summertime aquatic park.
Families value education here. St. Louis Park Public Schools offers strong programming, and nearby Susan Lindgren Elementary, the middle school, and the high school serve the area with walkable or short-drive commutes. Dining, services, and local events round out daily life without sacrificing the calm of a quiet block.
