Wooded lots, a quiet street and Oak Ridge Country Club just across the road. Knollwood is about fifty homes in north Hopkins.
Knollwood is in northern Hopkins, off Oak Ridge Road just north of Highway 7. It has approximately 50 rambler and traditional homes.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
What’s close by
Oak Ridge Country Club, with golf, swimming, tennis and a fitness center, is just west across Oak Ridge Road. The Shoppes at Knollwood, less than two miles east, has a grocery store, retail and restaurants. Meadowbrook Golf Course, Interlachen Country Club and downtown Hopkins are close. See Hopkins parks and trails and community life.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: Knollwood is served by Hopkins Public Schools (ISD 270). Nearby schools include Eisenhower Elementary, L.H. Tanglen Elementary, Hopkins North 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 Knollwood 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.
