Named for the abundance of linden trees and the area's gentle hills, and widely known as Minneapolis's nicest neighborhood, the Linden Hills community is also anchored by two of the region's most beautiful lakes: Lake Harriet and Bde Maka Ska. Our home is located just a few blocks walk away from Bde Maka Ska and the numerous biking and walking trails around Minneapolis's Grand Rounds Scenic Bikeway. Known today as the ideal in urban living with a small town charm, there are numerous high-end restaurants and shops within walking distance or a short drive. Bus transit is located just a half a block away too.

Nearly 3 miles of pedestrian and bike trails circle the perimeter of Bde Maka Ska and pass some of the city’s most stunning homes. No matter where you’re at on the lake, it’s hard to miss the castle-like Band Shell, complete with turrets. Here, you’ll find a full lineup of free concerts and movies through the summer, plus sunrise yoga facing the lake every morning from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

During warmer weather, lounge on three beaches, get active on the soccer and softball fields or sand volleyball court, and rent bikes—in addition to canoes, kayaks and paddle boats—through Wheel Fun Rentals.

As the chill sets in and the lake freezes over, the area continues to draw outdoor enthusiasts even on the coldest days. You may spot people ice fishing, snowshoeing, snowkiting, and skijoring across the frozen surface. Each February, the sky above the lake is festooned with a rainbow of kites both large and small during the annual Lake Harriet Winter Kite Festival.

A stone’s throw from Bde Maka Ska’s western shoreline, The Bakken Museum offers a treasure trove of science and technology discoveries. The only Smithsonian-affiliated museum in the state features immersive experiences including Frankenstein’s Laboratory. “Meet” author Mary Shelley and watch Frankenstein’s famous monster come to life.

Decades before the Light Rail came to town, commuters hopped aboard streetcars to get from home to work and back. The Minnesota Streetcar Museum offers rides aboard the beautifully restored trolleys. Hop on the Como-Harriet Streetcar Line for a scenic tour between the lakes, and enjoy a full calendar of annual events, from Vinternatt holiday rides to the Trick 'r Trolley each Halloween.
