Quiet, hilly, tree-canopied neighborhood of architect-designed homes just east of campus, anchored by the landmark Witch's Hat water tower and tucked off the main arterials.

Stately, leafy neighborhood of large historic homes on winding parkways just above Lake of the Isles, one of the most exclusive addresses in Minneapolis.

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.
