Lynnhurst

A great mix of homes, in a wonderful family setting, with excellent schools and an unbeatable quality of life. Take a walk around Lake Harriet. Or, meander down the creek to 54th and Lyndale where you can sip a Starbucks or Caribou coffee, shop for groceries at Kowalski’s (one of the best grocery stores on the planet (seriously)), dine at Prima for a great ceaser salad and find an excellent deal on a bottle of wine at South Lyndale Liquors. Or, swing up to 50th and Bryant to shop for gifts at Patina, get a malt at the Malt Shop or check out the critically acclaimed Blackbird cafe.

As with all of southwest Minneapolis, access to the rest of the city is simple. Zoom up Lyndale and in just minutes you’re in Uptown or through to downtown. Jump on 35W or Highway 62 and in seconds and your just a few miles from the airport, several malls and the southern and western suburbs including Edina and Bloomington.
