The Lynx train at The Courts at Mayo Clinic Square in the heart of downtown Minneapolis, directly across the street from Target Center and physically connected to a 20,000-sq-ft Mayo Clinic Sports Medicine Center. Everything in this guide radiates from that downtown core, with the North Loop, Loring Park, and the Chain of Lakes neighborhoods all within a short drive.
Minneapolis's hottest neighborhood: converted warehouse lofts and new-build condos packed with James Beard restaurants, boutiques, and the riverfront.
Minneapolis's most prestigious single-family enclave, with large estates lining the parkways above Lake of the Isles and the Chain of Lakes.
A leafy hill of grand historic mansions between Loring Park and the Chain of Lakes, steps from the Walker Art Center and Sculpture Garden.
An urban park neighborhood on the southwest edge of downtown with high-rise condos, townhomes, and the Loring Greenway connecting to Nicollet Mall.
The neighborhoods above sit inside a twenty-minute drive of The Courts at Mayo Clinic Square. But many athletes prioritize lifestyle, privacy, and prestige over commute — these are the areas across Minneapolis where athletes most often buy and rent, even though they’re a longer drive from the facility.
The undisputed center of Minnesota's luxury market — gated peninsulas and private-shoreline mansions ringing the metro's premier lake, anchored by the top-rated Orono and Wayzata school districts and a walkable upscale village. Estates routinely trade from a few million into the $50M+ range.
Minneapolis's most prestigious close-in suburb, with the historic Country Club District, the mansions of Rolling Green along Interlachen, and the wooded estates of Indian Hills. Blue-ribbon schools, manicured streets and the 50th & France shopping district draw established wealth.
Minnesota's wealthiest small town and a genuinely private community — every road, lake and trail is privately owned by residents, and the city even had its streets pulled from Google Street View. Wooded lots, private lakes and a no-trespassing ethos define it.
A rural, nature-forward city about 20 miles west of downtown known for sprawling multi-acre estates, horse properties and gated custom homes set among woodland and open space. It offers the most land and the deepest seclusion of the prestige options.
