A BRIEF HISTORY OF EDINA REAL ESTATE
What started out in the 1860s as a small milling and farming community made up of a handful of families immigrating from Ireland is today is one of the most well known cities outside of Minneapolis. Today, many of the street names in Edina are named after families whose farms once occupied the area, for example: Grimes Avenue, Gleason Road, Cooper Avenue, Hansen Road and Wyman Avenues. What is even more interesting is that Edina is in the process of carving out a neighborhood for every area of the city. In the past it had been a loose collection of neighborhoods. Edina real estate is far reaching, historical and dynamic. From modest, post war starter homes to large estates Edina has something to offer even the most discerning home buyers.
