Strachauer Park
SPNA: Neighborhood Association – Strachauer Park is defined by an exceptionally active and organized community spirit, driven by the Strachauer Park Neighborhood Association (SPNA). Unlike many informal suburban groups, the SPNA is a City-recognized entity that fosters a genuine “small-town” atmosphere within Edina. They are known for high resident engagement and a robust calendar of traditions—from summer ice cream socials and “Night to Unite” block parties to winter skating events at the park’s beloved hockey rink. The association works closely with the neighboring Chowen Park group to maximize their reach, ensuring residents stay informed on local development, safety, and school news. This organized advocacy not only preserves the neighborhood’s historic charm but also ensures that new residents are immediately welcomed into a supportive, well-connected network. Stay connected via our FB group.
PARKS & NATURE – This location is a true standout for outdoor enthusiasts, offering the rare benefit of three distinct parks all within walking distance. Just steps from your door is the neighborhood anchor, Strachauer Park, which features a newly updated playground and skating rink complete with a warming house—making it the perfect spot for comfortable winter recreation. (In the summer, the rink area cleverly doubles as a community dog run!). For a quieter escape, the quaint Chowen Park, which is just up the road, is a well-equipped neighborhood gem featuring a clean, shaded playground with a continuous-flow structure perfect for little monkeys. Rounding out this impressive trio is York Park, a natural oasis situated on the serene banks of Minnehaha Creek, where you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the water and connect with nature right in your own backyard.
SCHOOLS – A primary draw for this property is its location within the nationally recognized Edina Public School District, consistently ranked among the top districts in Minnesota and the nation. Students here are assigned to the highly rated Cornelia Elementary, South View Middle School, and the prestigious Edina High School, known for its academic excellence, robust AP programs, and championship-winning athletic and arts programs. This address secures access to a world-class education system that underpins the area’s enduring property value.
SHOPPING & RESTAURANTS – This address offers unparalleled access to the very best of Edina’s retail and culinary landscape, catering to every budget and lifestyle. For your daily needs, you have a “Grocery Golden Triangle” right at your fingertips. You can grab premium cuts and specialty items at Lunds & Byerlys or Kowalski’s Market, stop for one-stop shopping at the expansive Target at Southdale, or stock up on affordable essentials at the nearby Aldi and Cub Foods—both just minutes away. For shopping, you are next door to the newly revitalized Southdale Center, which has transformed into a premier lifestyle destination featuring a brand-new luxury wing with tenants like Gucci, Moncler, and David Yurman, alongside the prestigious Galleria across the street. When it comes to dining, skip the chain delivery and head to the buzzworthy Mothership Pizza Paradise on France Ave for wood-fired pies and craft cocktails in a retro-cool setting. And when a craving for the perfect burger strikes, the popular Shake Shack is just a short drive from home.
TRANSPORTATION – Ideally situated for the modern commuter, this location offers exceptional convenience with a powerful new asset. You are just blocks from the newly launched METRO E Line on France Avenue, which provides rapid, high-frequency bus service connecting you directly from Southdale to Uptown, Downtown Minneapolis, and the University of Minnesota. For drivers, the home acts as a central pivot point for the metro, with immediate access to Highway 62 (The Crosstown) and Highway 100. This strategic location makes the drive to the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) and the downtown core incredibly quick and effortless. Whether by car or the new Rapid Transit line, you have swift access to the entire Twin Cities right from your driveway.
