Real Estate in Excelsior, Minnesota

Excelsior, MN is a relaxing get-away with a thriving real estate market and fast, easy access to the state's busiest business districts.  We sit on the edge of scenic Lake Minnetonka, yet downtown Minneapolis is just 20 minutes away.  That makes Excelsior a commuter's paradise!

Our community is just one square mile in size. We are a small town with friendly neighborhoods, community atmosphere, and lots of smiling faces. We also happen to be situated on the incredibly beautiful Lake Minnetonka, with all the scenery and the amenities it offers.

If you are moving here from a large city, you'll soon learn what so many people find appealing about small town life.  It's easy to make friends, find interesting acquaintances, and it seems like residents are always ready to lend a helping hand.

Our small downtown is filled with historic structures which recall our rich past - Excelsior was settled in 1853 by colonists from New York. At the center of the city, a restored street car and museum preserve much of that old excitement.  In warmer months, you can take the steamboat "Minnehaha" around the shores of the lake, or the many excursion boats that visit fun spots along the lake. Many people take short boat trips out to favorite picnic spots to enjoy a sunny weekend afternoon.

Excelsior real estate is enhanced by being a major stop on the Southwest Regional Light Rail Transit Trail, famous among bicyclists and walkers. Our Northside Commons recreation park features baseball diamonds, tennis courts, a beach for swimming, and lovely areas for picnicking. And, of course, the lake offers unlimited opportunities for boating, yachting, fishing, sailing, waterskiing, and even ice-sailing and snowmobiling in the winter. Each year visitors from all over the region come to Excelsior for Apple Day, Fourth of July activities, and our annual Art in the Park festival.

Excelsior is home to a diverse and well educated population.  We have a complete offering of top-rated public education services along with several private schools, and an impressive assortment of colleges, community colleges, and technical schools.

We can help you find just the home, condo, or townhouse you're looking for.  Moving up to the luxury home or lake-front property you've dreamed of? Excelsior MN is the perfect place to embrace the good life you deserve.
