Golf course views along Meadowbrook and about 340 homes in every style from cottages to larger traditional homes. Interlachen is quiet with a lot of green.
Interlachen is on the east side of Hopkins, off Baker Road just south of Excelsior Boulevard, on the west side of Meadowbrook Golf Course. It has about 340 single-family homes in ranch, rambler, cottage and traditional styles.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
What’s close by
Meadowbrook Golf Course is right next door, and Interlachen Country Club, downtown Hopkins, Big Willow Park, the Shoppes at Knollwood and Ridgedale Center are close. See Hopkins parks and trails and community life.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: Interlachen is served by Hopkins Public Schools (ISD 270). Nearby schools include Eisenhower Elementary, L.H. Tanglen Elementary, Alice Smith Elementary, Hopkins West Junior High and Hopkins High School. Boundaries can change, so confirm the assigned schools for any address with the district.
- 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.
A simple plan for your Interlachen move
I’ve been helping people sell and buy homes across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Florida for about two decades, and I build and remodel luxury homes too. I’ll help you see both what a property is and what it could be.
Getting the house ready, or making it yours
If you’re selling and want repairs handled before buyers see them, Super Crew Contractors can give you an estimate. If you’re ready for something custom, Ivy Lane Homes does luxury home building and remodeling. And a quick coverage check with Intrinsic Insurance before closing can save you a surprise.
