Do you want to live in one of the Twin Cities’ most promising suburbs? As the northwest metro's ultimate shopping destination, the demand to live in Maple Grove real estate is greater than ever.

During a time in which more and more Minnesota residents are ditching the exurbs and flocking to Minneapolis, Maple Grove remains a sought-after suburb with plenty of economic potential.

Between 2000 and 2010, the city's population increased by over 10,000 people -- and it shows no signs of slowing down.

Maple Grove's significant population increase was accompanied by an impressive retail expansion, with several trendy boutiques setting up shop at the Fountains of Arbor Lake. This is an 850,000 square foot lifestyle center that includes multiple hotels and a huge Dave and Buster's entertainment center; you’ll definitely want to check it out!

Even more shopping and entertainment opportunities will be available to you when the adjacent Reflections at Arbor Lake is completed.

However, there is more to Maple Grove than shopping; the city also boasts several gorgeous parks and recreation centers.

The lovely Maple Grove Arboretum is home to the Angel of Hope Statue and over 100 local trees. You’ll find yourself occupied for hours in this beautiful, relaxing environment.

If you’re looking for even more outdoor fun, the nearby Maple Grove Central Park has an ice skating loop, a labyrinth, and an interactive fountain.
