Zeb Haney | Linden Hills Homes For Sale

Homes for Sale in Linden Hills Minneapolis:

The Linden Hills neighborhood of Southwest Minneapolis is one of the top neighborhoods of Minneapolis. The primary factors for desirability are the proximity to Lake Harriet, the Edina 50th & France neighborhood, easy access to Uptown, Downtown, major artery highways as well as having an excellent selection of coffee shops, cafe's, restaurants, hardware stores and bakeries. Linden Hills also has its own library, and plenty of churches. However, Linden Hills definitely still retains a very rare, neighborhood 'feel' to it.

Linden Hills is situated between the western side of Lake Harriet, and the southern side of Lake Calhoun. The specific borders are France avenue on the West, Rose Lane (1 block North of 36th Street) on the North, Lake Harriet on the East and the Southern border is 47th street.

Linden Hills is certainly one of my favorite neighborhoods of the twin cities, and one of the most sought-after. Many of my clients are looking specifically and only for this neighborhood.

Real Estate of Linden Hills Neighborhood Minneapolis:

Most homes were built between 1920 and 1937. There are a few homes built in the 1950's and 1960's, as well as modern renovations and tear-down's, but most were from  the early 20th century. The style of homes are typically craftsman's (a.k.a. 'arts and crafts', and typically built from 1922-1929), Dutch Colonials, a small number of Victorians, standard 4-square/2-story's, ramblers (built in the 1950's and early 1960's)) and a fair amount of Tudor's (typically built between 1929 and 1937).
