Mounds View Homes for Sale

Mounds View

Mounds View is one of the smallest suburbs of Minneapolis and St. Paul, making it one of the coziest, friendliest, most welcoming places to buy a home in all of Minnesota. Just 15 minutes from downtown Minneapolis, the city offers rest and relaxation in a friendly neighborhood but is still conveniently close to the cities. And with great schools and parks, it’s a great place to raise a family as well. Small-town charm and lots to do make Mounds View a great place to purchase a house and to call home.

Mounds View’s tiny size at just over four square miles gives it a lot of distinctive qualities that set it apart from other suburbs. With a population of just over 10,000, it might not be the case that every one knows everyone else, but there is certainly a special sort of small-town charm and friendliness. Along with that town spirit, the city hosts a score of community events throughout the year, from the Festival in the Park – a giant celebration with parades, fireworks, crafts, contests, and more – to simple things like live music in the park. These events tie the community together, and they give residents who just purchased a home in Mounds View to join the community.

But the community events aren’t all that’s going on in Mounds View. Those who buy a house in Mounds View will be happy to know that even though the city is one of the smallest suburbs of Minneapolis, it is still home to a large, clean movie theater. But the entertainment doesn’t stop at the movie theatre – there are nearby bowling alleys, golf courses, live theatres, bars, and more. The city is home to dozens and dozens of shops and restaurants. Besides all this, all the excitement and nightlight of downtown Minneapolis is under 20 minutes away from any Mounds View home. All the restaurants, bars, concerts, shopping, nightlife, and employment opportunities of Minneapolis and St. Paul are within easy reach of any Mounds View resident.

And when Mounds View homeowners and residents are done having fun downtown or at their community events, they can enjoy some free time at some of Mounds Views’ parks. Though Mounds View is home to only four square miles, it’s home to a total of ten parks. Those who buy a home in Mounds View can hit the beach on a hot summer afternoon, have a picnic with their family at a local picnic pavilion, can start up a game of basketball or tennis, can organize a baseball or softball team for one of Mounds View’s many baseball areas, can take their family skating in the winter, or go on bike rides or go jogging through Mounds View’s trails.
