Explore Linden Hills Real Estate in Minneapolis

The Linden Hills neighborhood is one of the most sought after areas in Minneapolis, nestled between Lake Harriet and Bde Maka Ska. As one of the last parts of the city to be developed, Linden Hills showcases a wide range of architectural styles from turn of the century Victorians and 1920s bungalows to 1930s Tudors, 1950s ramblers, 1970s contemporaries, and many newer homes influenced by Scandinavian design and built with modern green features.

Linden Hills residents embrace Minnesota’s outdoor lifestyle year round. In the Summer, the Lake Harriet Bandshell hosts outdoor concerts and community events almost daily. The historic Como-Harriet Streetcar Line and Museum offer a nostalgic ride between Lake Harriet and Bde Maka Ska, while running clubs circle the lakes in preparation for the Twin Cities Marathon each fall. Walking, biking, swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding are favorite pastimes during the warmer months. In Winter, the lakes come alive with ice skating, ice fishing, windsurfing, and seasonal events like the Art Shanty Projects and the Minneapolis Kite Festival.

The heart of the neighborhood is at 44th & Upton, the lively Linden Hills business district. Here you’ll find upscale dining at Martina, late night ice cream at Sebastian Joe’s, burgers at Le Burger, artisan pizza at Rosalia, and fresh baked goods at Great Harvest Bread Co. Locals stop by Pic Nic for lakeside grab and go treats, the Linden Hills Public Library for children’s story time, and the beloved Wild Rumpus Bookstore, famous for its little purple door and resident animals that delight readers of all ages.

Named for the linden trees found throughout the area, the neighborhood is bordered by Bde Maka Ska and West 36th Street to the north, Lake Harriet and William Berry Parkway to the east, West 47th Street to the south, and France Avenue to the west.

With its proximity to the lakes, walkable village atmosphere, and strong sense of community, Linden Hills offers a rare blend of small town charm and urban convenience making it one of Minneapolis’s most desirable neighborhoods.
