Golden Valley, MN Real Estate

Golden Valley is considered a fully developed community as it has maximized the use of its land with a strong mix of business, commercial and residential development. The city is located just 5 miles from downtown Minneapolis, making all the dining and entertainment options of the big city very real amenities to its residents, providing public transit and easy commutes on the major highways that bisect the area: Interstate 394 and Highways 169, 100, and 55.

As a more mature, settled community, Golden Valley isn't seeing the major population and housing boom experienced by suburbs further from the Cities, but is committed to improving and upgrading existing housing and commercial properties. An example of this trend is the recently renovated Wesley Commons: 84 two-story town homes, 48-stacked condominiums and 38,000 square feet of office and retail space.

As a place to work, live and play, Golden Valley ranks high on the list. The City business roster includes some impressive names: General Mills, Tenant Co., Dahlberg Industries, United Healthcare, Honeywell and CyberOptics. The area boasts numerous golf courses, including city-owned Brookview Golf Course, the Minneapolis Country Club, and Golden Valley Country Club, ensuring you'll never be without a putting green close at-hand. Residents are rewarded with a beautifully preserved and restored natural landscape that includes over 1,035 acres of parks and open space, and nearly 47 miles of trails, ball fields, courts, and activity areas. If the Uptown or Downtown Minneapolis scene just isn't for you, local community events are numerous and wide-ranging including: Walk for Animals, summer concerts in the park, Golden Valley Arts and Music Festival, and seasonal youth and adult sports leagues.

Golden Valley affords a housing option for almost anyone, from luxurious remodels and brand new homes to older ramblers, split and multi-levels looking for a little attention. Forty percent of the homes in Golden Valley were built in the 1950s and '60s with many receiving upgrades since then. Both families as well as unattached professionals will find Golden Valley an inviting community both within the city and for its proximity to Minneapolis.

Local Flavor: Great access to the heart of Uptown in Minneapolis and a wide array of eclectic, upscale and fun dining including Stella's Fish Café, affording an incredible view of the Minneapolis skyline from their roof and multiple levels of dining rooms; Chino Latino is a trendy and bustling locale with a perplexing mix of Asian and Mexican dishes; Tryg's-located beside Lake Calhoun, after dining inside under towering ceilings and richly decorated interior, head out to the fire pit and enjoy a nightcap.

Area Shopping: Ridgedale Shopping Center (Minnetonka), Knollwood Mall (St. Louis Park); or conveniently located strip malls and mega stores.

Around Town: Tee off at one of the many local golf courses, both public and private, head to Uptown or Downtown Minneapolis, both are at your doorstep, or volunteer your time or come out to an event that supports the Animal Humane Society located in Golden Valley.
