The small community of Excelsior is home to more than 2,000 residents who appreciate the town’s close knit atmosphere. But even though it is a smaller town, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have things to do. Since the town is situated alongside the banks of Lake Minnetonka, many Excelsior residents enjoy their favorite watersport right out in their backyard almost. My family and I go swimming and water skiing in the lake almost every weekend during the summer and we absolutely love it. During the winter, we have even gone ice skating once the lake has frozen over.
Another great thing about living in an Excelsior home is that fact that State Highway 7 runs through town. This makes it easy to connect to the major highways so I can get to work in St. Paul without fighting through a maze of side streets. It makes for an easy commute and a less frustrating start to each work day.
The Excelsior real estate market has many nice family oriented neighborhoods to choose from. The St. Albans Bay Lakeshore neighborhood is one of the more picturesque subdivisions in the city with lakefront property and other features for today’s discerning home buyer, such as close proximity to Minnetonka Country Club and shopping opportunities. Deer Ridge is an Excelsior neighborhood which offers single-family homes just minutes away from Gaplin Lake, Herman Field Park and several schools.
