200 1st St

There's a reason people fall in love with Excelsior and never leave. Nestled on the shores of Lake Minnetonka just 20 minutes from downtown Minneapolis, this charming one-square-mile town offers a lifestyle that's genuinely hard to find anywhere else in the Twin Cities — and this apartment puts you right in the middle of it.

The Neighborhood:
Walk out your front door and you're steps from everything that makes Excelsior special:

Excelsior Commons & the Bandshell — one block south, with 4th of July fireworks, Wednesday evening Concerts in the Park all summer long, and some of the best people-watching in the suburbs

Lake Minnetonka Beach — a few blocks west, for swimming, sunbathing, and summer afternoons that feel like a vacation

Downtown Water Street — two blocks east, with boutique shops, antique stores, and a growing restaurant scene including Maynards (the classic lakeside institution with boat parking), Parlour Excelsior (smash burgers, craft cocktails, and all-day breakfast), Mirabelle (cozy American comfort food in a beautifully preserved historic space), and Shiki (Japanese and Asian cuisine)

Community events year-round — Art in the Park, Apple Day, the Excelsior Farmers' Market (Tuesday afternoons, with locally grown produce and homemade crepes), and a Christmas market that makes winters feel magical

All of this in a walkable, one-square-mile town with Victorian-era charm and a genuine sense of community.
