One of the many great things about the Twin Cities’ West Metro is the range of diversity when it comes to small communities and affable neighborhoods. Several clusters of communal liveliness exist, scattered about Hennepin County’s expansive field of cities and townships. So whether you’re looking to share a meal with friends, partake in a little retail therapy or just unravel with a cup of joe, make sure to visit these featured communities for an afternoon you won’t soon forget.
Excelsior and Grand: The shops of Excelsior and Grand are conveniently located in downtown St. Louis Park, teetering on the verge of Uptown and Lake Calhoun. Featuring an eclectic mix of acclaimed restaurants and boutiques, this community is sure to meet the standards of any serious shopper.
Prepare your fall wardrobe with stores such as Shorty’s Loft, OPM and Max’s Boutique. The wide selection of jewelry, accessories and designer clothing offer unique and inexpensive options to women of all tastes.
Take a personal day when you drop the kids off at Kinder Care, grab a cup of Starbucks, and get a fresh haircut from The Hair District. For the cherry on top, spend the remainder of the day being pampered at Ocean Spa & Nails where you’ll receive the finest hand and feet relaxation.
Cap off the night with delicious American Fare and an ice-cold beer at McCoy’s or perhaps opt for a slower pace as you enjoy fresh baked soups and salads from Panera Bread.
Throw in biking/jogging trails, Metro Transit bus lines, a bevy of community amenities and you have a certified winner.
50th and France: With over 175 retailers and professional services, it’s no wonder why 50th and France is a staple of Twin Cities’ West Metro excitement and individuality. It’s hard to know where to start. The shops of 50th and France have it all – literally. Revive your closet with more than fifty boutique stores such as Little Enchantments, Bumbershute and Studio One Eleven. Kick off your day with a morning workout at Steele Fitness and afterwards pop in Spalon Montage for some personal TLC. Dine out at the Grass Fed Cattle Company where you’ll receive nothing but local, free range and antibiotic free beef.
No matter your bank account, 50th and France is the perfect balance of luxury and affordability. The choices never seem to end over here, so do yourself a favor and come explore. If you get lost in all the fun, don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Arbor Lakes: Arbor Lakes is always a good time. Being a recently constructed development, Arbor Lakes has a powerful sense of modernity infused throughout the layout, architecture and location. Treat yourself to a shopping-mall-esque feel as you weave in and out of freshly built retail stores, boutique shops and fine dining. The shops at Arbor Lakes have got what you’re looking for when it comes to clothing, electronics, food, home & garden and more.
Downtown Wayzata: Always a breath of fresh air: Downtown Wayzata’s picturesque community sits alongside beautiful Lake Minnetonka. Restaurants like Sunsets, Northcoast and Blue Point put you right on the water as you take in marvelous views, wines and local dishes. Specialty boutiques, such as Blanc de Blanc, line the cobblestone of Wayzata’s main street with rare clothing and handmade accessories. Whatever you choose to do, you’ll be immersed in abundant foliage, sunny skies and friendly people.
Downtown Excelsior: I try not to sound biased here – for obvious reasons – but I simply love the community around me in downtown Excelsior. When I started looking for locations to move my company, I knew I would have a seriously tough choice to make. However, when I visited Excelsior, the burden of that choice seemed to disappear. Excelsior chose me – if you will – it just seemed to fit so well.
The strong sense of culture, community and companionship is what makes Excelsior a truly remarkable place to live. Every day provides something me with something fun to do and new to try. Try 318 Café’s lemon pie, grab some fresh tomatoes at the Farmer’s Market, cruise Lake Minnetonka through Al and Alma’s Charter Boats, sip a beer at Jake O’Connor’s… I could go on and on.
These are just a few of the amazing communities available within the Twin Cities’ West Metro. If you are even slightly dissatisfied with your current living situation, let me help you reconsider your location and redefine your sense of happiness.
