Golden Valley’s unique geography makes it a wonderful place to buy a home. The ten-square-mile city is home to almost 30 parks and more than 1,000 acres of parkland, as well as a number of lakes. The Golden Valley Park and Recreation Department maintains those parks and lakes, as well as Golden Valley’s 23 tennis courts, Golden Valley’s Brookview golf course, as well as a number of other venues and activities. Miles of trails—47 to be particular—stretch throughout the wooded valley, making it perfect for walkers, joggers, and bikers. The city of Golden Valley additionally maintains a number of ball fields, basketball courts, and activity areas. The city’s unique forested landscape gives it a sense of privacy and peace, despite being only five miles from the city.

In fact, Golden Valley is home to a wide number of business and attractions that give it its thriving economy and make it an excellent place to buy a home.

The city is also home to a number of large businesses besides major Fortune 100 companies, such as Pentair, KARE-NBC, and Honeywell International. Golden Valley’s expansive economy explains why, despite the fact that only 20,000 people live in the city, over 30,000 people work in Golden Valley, making it a flourishing center for business and for work, and its proximity to such a prospering economy makes it a great place for cooperate relocations, executive relocations, and for buying a home in general to reduce commute times.
