A popular city immediately west of Minneapolis, Saint Louis Park offers you close proximity to Downtown and the chain lakes, while still maintaining that family-friendly, suburban feel you’re looking for.

The Saint Louis Park MN real estate market has something for every price point -- from modest homes to million-dollar luxury properties -- with the average sales price for homes below the $250,000 mark.

Here, you’ll find that the housing stock in this affluent community is primarily made-up of post-WWII 1 and 1.5-story homes.

However, if you’re looking to live in an apartment by Minneapolis, you’ll still have plenty of options. With increased demand from owners to live closer to the city, newer condos and apartment developments have risen in the past couple of decades.

This trend has resulted in more teardowns and “pop-tops” -- when 1.5 story homes are turned into 2-stories, often with enlargements in the back, plus modern finishes and layouts.

When it comes to exploring the nightlife in Saint Louis Park, you’ll want to check out Excelsior & Grand, a luxury apartment community with great dining, trendy nightlife and charming boutiques. This is one of the city’s main attractions.

For more shopping, dining and events you can also head to the Shops at West End. Day or night, you’ll find yourself entertained for hours with all of the variety that this area has to offer.

These two hubs of activity  serve as shining examples of how economic development can benefit the community as a whole.
