Moving to Minneapolis area help

[LC Smith]

My oldest son and his family are moving to the Minneapolis area. They are a late 30s early 40s aged couple with two toddlers. Where are some good places for them to look for a house? Are there any places to absolutely stay away from? One of them just took a job with Polaris if that helps for an area to focus on.

Thanks in advance for the info.

Traffic is a consideration, schools as well…home prices, too…I grew up in Hopkins, am there a lot caring for elderly parents…Eden Prairie, Minnetonka, Chanhassen, Chaska…St Paul side is nice as well…

They are asking about Wayzata. They are looking at the schools.

Very nice suburb. Higher end for sure. No hesitation if they can afford it.

I live in the west metro and enjoy it but if I were to do it over I should have gone a few miles further west out to avoid being in Hennepin county.

Greenfield, Delano etc would be on my short list.

I’m shocked how fast my pal in greenfield gets into the Minnetonka area when we meet up
