Condominiums southwest of Hyland Park, with one- and two-bedroom options. Countryside West is one of the most affordable ways to own in west Bloomington.
Countryside West is a condominium community on the west side of Bloomington, between Utah Avenue and 101st Street, southwest of Hyland Park. Units run roughly 700 to 1,000 square feet.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
What’s close by
Hyland Lake Park Reserve, a few miles north, covers about 2,565 acres with trails, skiing, snowboarding, disc golf, cycling and camping. Quick dining, a coffee shop, an ice cream shop and a local market are a few miles southwest. See Bloomington parks, trails and beaches and community life.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: Countryside West is served by Bloomington Public Schools (ISD 271). Nearby schools include Normandale Hills Elementary, Olson Elementary, Olson Middle School and Bethany Academy. Boundaries can change, so confirm the assigned schools for any address with the district.
- Association: Ask for the association documents, current dues, what they cover, the reserve fund and any planned assessments. A good townhome is also a good association.
- Condition: Roof, windows, mechanicals and drainage tell you more about a home’s next ten years than the paint color does. Plan a professional inspection.
